Peaceful Cabin

 I’m still making Christmas cards, but these were made last month with a dear friend.

She is generous in so many ways, including with her talent and  craft stash!

The background paper was die cut (Chloe I think), partially cutting poinsettias.

I used SU Peaceful Cabin….stamped and diecut.

I had stamped direct and made a pigs ear of it!

I also stamped subtle snowflakes on the paper.

I’m taking this to the Peace On Earth challenge #78

I liked the look of the happy accident, so went with the trees from the same set next.

The poinsettias had tiny foam pads a under the petals to keep them raised,

and lots of glitter was added to both.

I’m taking this to the Allsorts Challenge #811, anything goes.

Take care and see you soon

That DSP with two more…..

 I’m back with more from the One Horse Open Sleigh background papers.

This sheet was a bit challenging……a very different perspective, but I do like a challlenge!

However…..it’s not perfect, but I did my best, at least following the footprints.

Meantime……..I had a plan B, as I thought maybe the black was a bit harsh.

Let’s take a snippet of white and stamp a brown one, plus a sparkly silver snippet for a star.

I was going to overlay him, but nah, that didn’t work either, so…..

I’ve just ordered some stars from the new SU mini catalogue, due to publish next month.

He needs a special star to look at!

Using another background paper from the SU pack,

I fussy cut two deer….

There were a few tiny landlocked pieces I coloured lightly with blue,

but the photo shows I need to do more to take away the white.

Raised them on foam pads, hence the shadow.

Stamped sentiment,  and another card for the box.

Heading over to the Snippets Playground, for a new challenge and super prize draw..

Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate your visits and comments.

Peaceful treees

 Hi there,

another slightly different card to one I shared before,

this one a happy accident....

I stamped all 3 trees on a piece of scrap white card, as I was making a batch of these. 

When I laid it on the paper I actually prefered it to the one below, where I stamped 2 trees on the paper, and just die cut the small one.....

Here they're side by side, and I think the right hand one stands out a bit better...

what do you think?

Rudolph Day February

 Hiya, it's 25th of the month again, and that means it's time for the

Rudolph Challenge again..........aren't these months flying by again?!

I used Peaceful Cabin.....stamped the trees in basic grey onto smoky slate, and die cut.

Stamped and die cut the cabin, then die cut another slope with the cabin outline.

I then slipped the trees behind the cabin, and layered it on grey Marbellous paper,

and placed that onto some BeDazzling sparkly paper

I tried to photograph in the sunshine to show the sparkle, but it just shows lines ugh.

I'm entering  February's Rudolph Day Challenge,

and 52 Christmas Card Throwdown, where the theme is masculine.

Peek-a-Hoot and Peaceful cabin

 Today I'm using the peek-a-hoot dies again....cutting "windows"

behind which are little scenes from the Peaceful Place papers

I used a pencil to mark the frames for positioning the paper

I used the "tags" this time and fussy cut some of the little scenes to decorate...

just need some ribbon......

Take care

Peaceful trees

 Hi there

A quick card using Peaceful Cabin trees, with Coordinating DSP,

But using the plaid side, and incorporating dark and light blue and grey.

I added sparkle with wink of Stella and snowflake sequins

And die cut the front panel for interest

I hope this meets the criteria for the following challenges…..

Peaceful Cabin

 Hi there

I recently got the Peaceful Place papers and Peaceful Cabin Bundle,

and I think I'm going to enjoy this one.

 

The paper has silver foil details, has many designs and this tree scene just needed a stamped cabin, fence, fox and sentiment.....can't get simpler than that.

It has a photographic quality, hard to see here.

Some papers are designed to be cut into quarters......just right for square projects.

Above shows it cut into 4 with the cabin stamped.

Hopefully you can see the foiling below, on the trees

Hope you have a Peaceful Weekend

Lesley
