December Challenge...

Yes, it's that time again over on the Crafty Individuals blog. The challenge this month is 'All Wrapped Up...'
I've made a very quick wrapped tealight holder using the Christmas stamps CI-257, red ink and tissue paper.

Thanks for looking!

Christmas card...

I've made my Christmas cards for this year - a one layer design with lots of sparkle! I can't believe I've managed to stick to one layer!

The main image is Crafty Individuals CI-332 with Autumn Leaves flourishes and a tiny background text from Prima.
Just got to write and send them now!

Thanks for looking!

Red, green and gold!

Well, I've finally started my Christmas cards,inspired by the plate of Crafty Individuals Christmas trees that landed on the mat. If you haven't seen these stamps then go and have a look as they are lovely.
This is what I came up with:




The flourishes are also from Crafty Individuals.

Thanks for looking!

I'm dreaming of ...

......a pink and blue Christmas!
I love this quirky stamp from Crafty Individuals new Christmas selection (CI-254) - the buildings are fantastic and Santa in his sleigh just finishes it off!
First of all I made a little hanging decoration using one of their slidemount frames. I embossed it with some white tinsel embossing powder (called Winter Wonderland) that I've had stuck on the back of the shelf for ages but hardly ever used! (I'm too lazy to get the powder and heatgun out!) I then thought I'd paint it with the Stream paint dabber and noticed that the glitter still shines through:

Then I went on to make a card, spraying some semi gloss card with Glimmer Mists and stamping over the top. The frame is embossed with the same powder. Then I stamped the buildings repeatedly to make a mitred frame round the whole picture:

I might try it again with different colours.

Thanks for looking!
