WOYWD Week 55


I've missed a few weeks but hope to get back to joining you all so this week I've taken a picture of my desk. I am in the middle of making a Christmas card for the Die Cut Dreams Christmas Challenge which this week is all white with just a dash of colour. I'm hoping to get it finished today. I've got some images ready to colour for the Whiff of Joy challenge and need to put away my boxes of Christmas embellishments. Hope to join some of you today, there's just too many to visit everyone. Thank you for dropping by and any comments you leave I do love reading them.

Designed 2 Delight Challenge


Here is one of the cards I've made with the latest image from Designed 2 Delight. I love this little bird and the sentiments that Faith put with him. I've used it lots already but forgot to take pictures before sending but I remembered today.

A Festive Tree


The challenge this week at Winter Wonderland was a festive tree. The image I chose is a little mouse by Dustin Pike, I really love his images can you tell? I coloured and cut as usual, cut a piece of holographic card and embossed it using by Snowdots folder, I really liked the effect of embossing the holographic card so I think I will be using that again. I used some more of the sentiment paper, I like sentiment background paper for smaller cards as I don't have to fit a greeting on and can leave the image as the star of the show.

Childs Christmas


I had a really good crafty session the other day and made this one which I'm going to use as a child's Christmas card. I may make something else for the challenge on Bah! Humbug but I will post this just in case I don't get time. The image is by Dustin Pike, coloured and cut as usual, this time I embossed the base card using the Sizzix texture plates and inked it. I used more holographic card and the sentiment paper.

M is for Mistletoe


The challenge this fortnight is M for Mistletoe at ABC Christmas Cards. So I have used Mistletoad from Dustin Pike, as usual coloured with pro markers whatever did I do before these?!? Cut with my nesties and mounted onto some holographic card and paper with a Christmas message. I embossed the base card using my Snowdots folder through the Cuttlebug using a technique I learned from Ikki's Cuttlebug Cupboard, such a clever and talented lady, you should check out her blog.
