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. 

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.

Winter challenge at LOTV

Hello lovely peeps

The challenge theme for December over on the Lili of the Valley Facebook page is 'Winter'

 All you need to do is make something on this theme which includes a Lili of the Valley image. 

There are 3 fab prizes on offer and the winners will be drawn at random from all the entries;
1st - £20 LOTV voucher
2nd - £15 LOTV voucher
3rd - £10 LOTV voucher

For my inspiration card I stamped 'Cold Hands, Warm Heart' onto a 6" square of smooth white card with Black Versafine and then I coloured in the image with 'Charcoal', 'Scarlet' and 'Marigold' Spectrum Aqua Markers.

(The rubber version of this stamp has been discontinued but you can get a digi version here)

I die-cut the top of the card with a Memory Box die and layered it up with different papers from my stash (mostly Nitwit 'Woodland Wishes')

I finished the card off with a dark red check ribbon, 'Pine Sprigs',

and pine cones made with one of the 'Spiral Flowers' dies (both by Impression Obsession)

A dazzler from Creative Expressions adds a little bit of bling :o)

Snowman Serenade

Hello lovely peeps, hope you are well.

Here's my first December card for LOTV, using 'Snowman Serenade'. I had to have this stamp - the idea of carolling snowmen really tickled me, plus I love a good old sing-song (in a big crowd so my voice gets drowned out blends in).

I've coloured the image in with Graph'It markers

Lantern and Carrots: 1210, 1230, 1270

Snow: 9500, 9501

Stones: 9506

Scarves: 7105

LOTV's Christmas Wishes A5 stamp set is really useful as there is a whole range of sentiments on it in different fonts and it includes 6 lines from Christmas carols.  I chose 'Tis the Season to be Jolly' because the snowmen look like they're having a fab time.

The papers are from the Winter Wishes 8x8 paper pad and I covered the bottom of the card with cotton wool dressing. I cut the 'Fa la la la la' out of silver mirri card using my Craft Robo.

Cold Hands, Warm Heart

Hello lovely peeps

 Here's my second Design Collective card for October. 

Nothing like leaving it until last minute, eh? Gosh, that month went quickly.

I've used the LOTV stamp 'Cold Hands, Warm Heart'. 

I love this one, it reminds me of the wonderful John Lewis advert that was on 3 years ago.

I coloured the stamped image in with Graph'Its and Promarkers.

His scarf: 9101 and 9102

Her scarf: 5255 and 5280, satin and march hare

Twigs arms: umber

Carrot noses: 3110

Snow: 9500, 9501 amd 9502

The sentiment is from the LOTV Christmas Sentiment Tags set and the patterned papers are from Nitwit (Woodland Wishes Too) .

The dies I've used are Sizzix Original die 'Tree, Pine', Cheery Lynn fence, and Marianne poinsetta.

I've added Fluffy Stuff to the trees and fence and sprinkled with fine glitter before heating.
