Reindeer fun with Allsorts

 I can’t resist entering the Allsorts Challenge again,

this week the theme is Ribbon or Twine….

I used red and white twine for this, using the SU set Reindeer Fun.

I stamped the snowflake background with SU Snowflake Sky, 

die cut the aperture into shimmery white card,

added Greetery hills in white and glitter card, fussy cut the deer from the SU paper,

and added the embellishments.

The weather has been quite dull recently, and whilst writing this post I noticed something odd.

I must have taken pics of this card in two positions, trying to get the best light.

The thumbnail photos showed a distinct difference in the white/irridescent glitter paper..

the first set of photos looks blue and the second pink !🧐

Anyway, I’m taking this to the Allsorts Challenge #808 (twine),

and the Snippets Playground Challenge #494, 

I used snippets for the snowy hills and embellishments.

Both have fabulous prizes 😉

Take care and see you soon

July Rudolph Day and more

 I nearly missed this months Rudolph Day, but luckily I have until the end of July,

so here is my offering that I’ll also enter into the  Snippets Playground Christmas challenge,

and the 52 Christmas card throwdown.

First up is the card made by cutting apertures with my old SU Peek a hoot die,

then stamping and colouring a gifted Penny Black stamp, 

which I then cut apart to place behind the windows.

My sentiment and all the stamped images were fussy cut from snippets of white

I chopped The Greetery words to fit the story

The second one uses the “waste” which are also tags, so I mounted them on red card,

adding some twine, and fussy cutting the images and words.

Penny Black friends also have a challenge, the great outdoors.

It’s a bit like a cartoon strip, where the dog makes the snowman a bit grumpy 😄

I hope you’ll check out all the inspiration from the blogs :

Another brick in the wall

 Remember the little birds and the tree?

Here’s another version I made…

I layered a brick embossed square onto a green scalloped square,

then onto white card, die cut with the Brick Layer.

Behind that was a coral card, also die cut, but with the Stitched Greenery die.

this added more interest and texture.

Below is the square card I made using the same Stitched Greenery background die.

It gives a lovely background texture.

Four legged friend at the Christmas tree

 Hello, today’s card uses a cute Penny Black wooden stamp.

(Margaret Shelley collection).

I gently coloured with SU Blend pens, (pale blue and red), and wink of stella,

sentiment from The Greetery.

Added more twinkle with silver punched stars from an old SU border punch,

then used an embossing folder to frame/ add interest top and bottom.

I’m entering these challenges for Christmas, 

pale blue &red, embossing folder, stars, four legged, dogs, anything goes:

52cct ink blending

 Hello, just popping by with an extra mid week post to help you get ahead with your Christmas cards.

The 52 Christmas card throwdown challenge this week is ink blending.

I used a snowflake embossing folder winter snow from Stampin’ Up! for my backdrop,

which I then blended with blue ink, to highlight the detail.

I die cut the snow using never before used Greetery snowdrift, the swirl detail gives extra texture.

The scene was fussy cut from some retired paper and tucked behind the snow drift.

I’m entering….52cct challenge
