Deer Mum

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you all had a good Christmas.

So it turns out that I haven't shown you all my Christmas cards - I posted this one without taking a photo of the finished card, so I had to wait until I visited my Mum  :D

Scribble baubles

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well.

This is the last of my 2020 Christmas makes, I've put all my Christmas stash away now (I hope I haven't forgotten someone's card 😅)

Scribble Snowman

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well.

Getting towards the end of my Christmas makes now, for this one I've used 'Scribble Snowman' (Funstamps) which I stamped in grey. 

Baby’s First Christmas

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well.

Today I'm sharing the Christmas card I made for my goddaughter's son (my god-grandson if there was such a thing :D )

Fa la la la Llama

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well.

Today's make is a pyramid card using Dovecraft papers, Stamping Bella stamps and computer generated sentiments. 

Sledging Penguin

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well.

Another penguin for you today - this is Frosty Fun, an old rubber stamp from Lili of the Valley.

He's coloured in with Promarkers:

Scarf: Tea Green, Soft Green, Crimson, Burgundy 

Penguin Body: Cool Grey 1-5, Black 

Feet: Apricot, Amber, Burnt Orange 

Sledge: Sandstone, Caramel, Umber 

Little Holly

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well.

 

For today's card I've built a wreath with the Berry Branches stamps from Inkylicious. 

I wanted a slightly softer look so I spritzed the stamp after inking for a watercolour effect and used first and second generation stamping. After mucking up a couple of attempts doing it freehand I got out my stamping platform so I could overstamp if the image wasn't clear enough. The 'Merry Christmas' is also from Inkylicious. 

Happy Christmoose

Hello lovely peeps
 

I've had a bit of fun with the Merry Moose dies by Tim Holtz for this Christmas card by adding a customised sentiment with Hobby Art Alphabet stamps (I do love a pun). 

He's cut from brown core-dinations card which I then sanded to reveal the white core.

 

The trees were cut from dark green card with a Marianne die and then I stippled white paint onto them to make them look snowy.

The card base is a z-fold that I made from dark green card and some decorative paper (the 'Frozen Snowflakes' paper at the bottom is from Lili of the Valley and the main paper is a positively ancient 12x12" design from my stash (papermania?)

For extra dimension I attached a strip of acetate inside the centre of the card with red sticky tape so that one of the tress appears to 'float'.

Less is More GDT

Hello lovely peeps

I am thrilled to say that I am appearing as a Guest Designer for the next fortnight over at Less is More. They are one of my favourite challenge blogs and provide fabulous inspiration for CAS cards (which I am still trying to get the hang of).

The challenge this time is to make a One Layer Card with a Holiday theme.

To start off I printed the digi version of 'James Balancing Act' half way across a piece of A4 card (left margin 15.5cm, top margin 12cm). After folding it in half I cut it down to make a 5"x7" card.

I coloured him in with Copics
Fur: E50, E51, E53, E23, E25, E59
Hat: R32, R35, R29, R89
Present: G21, YG63, G94
Ground: N0, N1, N3
Outline: BG0000

The greeting is from the Large Christmas Greetings set (LOTV) and I stamped a few snowflakes over the top with third generation Faded Jeans distress ink (snowflakes from the Inkydoodles Christmas Ornaments stamp set)

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:-

With love at Christmas

Hello lovely peeps, and welcome to my new follower :o)

One last Christmas card to show you for the moment, similar to my Glittery Noel card but with a simpler colour scheme.

Grungy Christmas

Hello lovely peeps

I had a go at the acrylic block background technique for this card.

Frozen Snowflakes

Hello lovely peeps

Today you can see one of the gorgeous new Frozen Snowflakes papers from Lili of the Valley in it's full glory. I've stamped on 'Greetings' and 'at Christmas' from the Large Christmas Greetings set in Versamark and sprinkled on white embossing powder before heat setting.

The twine/pearls/ribbon came together on a roll from Lidl.

Hello lovely peeps

Our new Facebook Group 'We Love Lili of the Valley' is going really well. Nearly 500 members as I write, 145 projects shared so far, and a lovely encouraging atmosphere. I do hope you will join us if you haven't already.

For today's card I've used the same Noel stamp as in my last post (from the Large Christmas Greetings set by Lili of the Valley), but gone for a completely different look.

Glittery Noel

Hello lovely peeps

Before I explain how I did my card I would like to invite you to join our new Facebook Group 'We Love Lili of the Valley'. It's run by the Design Team so you can guarantee you’ll find the latest news and sneak peeks on there first.

We would love you all to share your creations using LOTV products on there too.

Let It Snow from DSB

Hello lovely peeps

One last card made with the new Christmas Word Art images from DSB (Digi stamp Boutique), which will be available at Lili of the Valley. Just to warn you, there are problems with the website so the launch may not be today as planned but it will definitely be this week. The contingency plan is to have them available on the Delilah Came To Tea website. If you haven't heard, Delilah Came To Tea is their new venture - selling lovely fabrics.

Jingle All The Way

Hello lovely peeps

Another DSB Christmas Word Art card to show you today, available at Lili of the Valley from tomorrow.
