Happy New Year

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are all well. 

 

I made this for my cousin's birthday but I realised I haven't wished you all a 'Happy New Year' yet so I thought this would be the perfect card to share today. Thank you to everyone who has wished me a Happy New Year so far and left lovely comments on my cards.

My New Years' Eve was very much like this card, lol. My sister-in-law and I each made cocktails and toasted each other via video call once an hour, though I have to admit I was very tipsy after the third one and went to bed before midnight :D

So, I wish you all a happy and healthy 2021.  Let's hope that things will start getting back to normal soon now that vaccinations are getting rolled out. 

[The cocktails on my card were made with Tim Holtz 'Happy Hour' dies and watercolour paper, coloured in with Distress markers and a damp paintbrush].

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'.

Indognito

Hello lovely peeps

A bit of fun for you today :o)

Back in February when I was brainstorming ideas for the new Simply Sweet cat stamps I came across this moustache embossing folder from Darice and I thought wouldn't one of the cats look great with a moustache? (lol).  I used a Sizzix Movers and Shapers die to cut the moustache from black shrink plastic and then heated it to shrink it down. It didn't quite seem to work with the cats though so I put it to one side.

On the Railroad for Throwback Tuesday
