Christmas Joy...

Hi! I am popping by today to show you a card I have made with the lovely 'Christmas Joy' stamp by Little Claire's. This was released a while back but I didn't get around to blogging my card (I have a bit of a catching up to do!)

I have coloured the image with ProMarkers, cut it out using Nestabilities and mounted it on kraft cardstock. The papers are from Craft Creations. The faux stitching is done using Georgina's Buttons and Stitching Stamp Set. Buttons & gems from my stash :)

Thanks for stopping by! :) x

Blog Project over at Little Claire's :)

On Friday it was my turn to share a project over on Little Claire's Blog. I chose to make some little Christmas Tags using Christmas Sentiments and Christmas Changing Tree Embellishments.

As well the stamp sets I have used a tag die, Nestabilities Lacey Circles, Kraft cardstock, gems and ribbon I have coloured the cute little stamps using ProMarkers & arranged them around the Christmas sentiments to fill the spaces. These little 'embellishments' are designed to hand on the 'Changing Tree' by Little Claire's but I thought it would be fun to use them by themselves :)

New Challenge at Sweet Stampin'- 'White on White'

Today we have a new challenge for you over at Sweet Stampin'. This week our theme is 'White on White', something which I have never attempted before :)

We are lucky enough to have 2 weekly sponsors this week- Letraset & our DT member Natali at Iva Nova Chest. We also have our monthly sponsor Joanna Sheen, so there are lots of chances to win! :)

Here is my card for the challenge: 

For my card I have used a gorgeous 'Mini Masterpiece' from LOTV, as well as their new Christmas sentiment tags. The card base is cut using a large Go Kreate die & the image is cut out using a smaller one of the same shape. I have used a couple of different embossing folders (one a cuttlebug one, one a freebie from a mag), a Whimsy Corner die cut & a Memory Box 'Corner Bow' die cut to decorate my card. Pearls & ribbon from my stash.  

I am quite pleased with the result considering I wasn't really looking forward to the whole 'White on White' theme! Don't forget to pop over to Sweet Stampin' to check out the DT cards and join us in this week's challenge :) x
