ABC Christmas - E, F and G

 It's time for a new challenge at ABC Christmas, and it's E for embossing, F for faux and G for gingerbread. Lots to choose from!

I chose G for gingerbread and made this gift tag. 


Coloured with pencils and a little faux snow on the santa hat.

ABC Christmas - C and D

 Hi all, it's my turn to present the February challenge, running from today until Saturday the 9th of March. The theme is:

'C is for Cats'

&

'D is for Dogs'

And a lucky winner will get a $10 gift card to one of my favourite digistamp shops: 



My card today is a Lili of the Valley-stamp, coloured with distress inks and cut with a "torn paper" die.


I know it's Valentine's Day today but I'm sticking to Christmas creations, maybe I'll pop by later with something hearty - who knows 💕

ABC Christmas - A and B

 I'm a day late with my first post of the year for ABC Christmas, not exactly starting on top, but I'll blame the fact that it was my birthday yesterday so I had lots on my plate.

So, we have A for Anything Christmas and B for Berries.

I used a Stamping bella image and wintery watercolours for Anything Christmas.


And a mistletoe wreath with lots of sparkling berries.

Helen, our host, is offering this great prize for a lucky winner. 



Other challenges:
Card A
Krafty Chicks - Christmas
Crafty Gals - Winter fun
Welovestamping - something new (the image and the watercolour palette are new)
Allsorts - moodboard (inspired by the squirrel and the bird)
sweet stampin - What's new with you (image and watercolours)

Card B
Christmas Craft creations - glitter and sparkle 
As you like it - favourite paper. My favourite paper is the silver backing paper that is actually a Christmas wrapping paper, it's sooo sparkly and still soft and easy to use and glue on.

ABC Christmas - Y and Z

 Not the easiest letters to end the year with, but we came up with Y for Your choice and Z for Zebra (or black and white) at ABC Christmas

For Y as Your choice I made a winter scene, using a small circle stencil for the moon, a large circle stencil for the scene and some paper strips for the mountains. The deer and trees are die cut. 


For Z as Zebra or black and white I used a stencil for the moon and distressed the card with Black Soot and added a forest stamp and a sentiment. 


Other challenges:

Pink card with reindeer:
Inkspirational - Add glitter
CAS on Sunday - black, white and one
Double D - Christmas animals
Sweet stampin - Christmas

Black forestcard:
Allsorts - Something beginning with B (black)

ABC Christmas reminder

 There is still time left to join our current challenge at ABC Christmas, theme is
W for wreath and/or X for xoxo.

Here's another wreath stamp that is a joy to colour.  The leaf stamp I put on the inside of the card is from the same set, so are the sentiments. I think they are bought on Temu which is a place I am careful with since they have a lot of stamps copied from originals but I got this as a gift so it is what it is. Nevertheless, I absolutely love the stamp set and I will probably use it a lot!

Stamping sensations - Get ready for Christmas
Lil patch of crafty friends - A/G
Holly and Ivy - Christmas A/G
Craft Challenge - Christmas
MTTC - Got to be Christmas
Crafty Catz - A/G

Winter cabin

Got a new stamp in the mail today and just had to ink it up. It's quite large so it stands for itself, I just added the sentiment at the bottom. I used huge amounts of glitter and stickles for the snow but as usual I'm crap at taking pictures of sparklies...

ABC Christmas - W and X

Time for the November challenge at ABC Christmas and we have reached the letters W and X. It is Lynda's turn to host and the letters stand for

W for wreath and/or X for xoxo.

I chose a wreath stamp from Powerpoppy stamps, coloured with distress inks. Those digistamps are such a delight to colour, I just have to make sure I wait until the printer ink has fully dried so it doesn't bleed.


The prize for a lucky winner is: 


Other challenges:
cardz4guyz - circle card
The holly and ivy - A/G Christmas
Unicorn challenge - Christmas
We love stamping - since a wreath is not really a character I'll opt for A/G
Stamping sensations - Get ready for Christmas
Peace on earth - A/G Christmas

ABC Christmas reminder

 There is still time to enter our U for Use it up or V for Vertical - challenge at ABC Christmas. I used up some glitter paper that has been lying in a drawer for way too long, making a couple of snowman lanterns for tea lights. The white paper (and the black) is a regular paper from a kids' drawing pad, cut on my Silhouette Cameo. Pattern is from Jennifer Maker. 


Other challenges:
Little red wagon - patterned paper or not
As you like it - favourite snowmen (cause these ones are sooo much fun to make and they shine so pretty with their little tea light inside)
The Holly and Ivy - A/G Christmas
MAWTT - A/G
