Lavinia Expects Some Snow!

It's time for the new challenge at Lavinia today, and the theme this time is

Let It Snow!

I got out my masking fluid, flicked it over my card and waited for it to dry. I then stamped my Spring trees, dobbing some masking fluid over the edges of branches to look like snow was settling.(Dobbing really is a technical term ;)) After the fluid had dried, I inked my background before rubbing off the now rubbery fluid, leaving the white of the cardstock showing through. The sentiment is from seasonal words set.

The masking fluid came out again for my second card.I stamped my background using various trees and added snowflakes to my card base before adding my fussy cut cat to my window frame.

A sprinkling of glitter was added to both cards!

I'm using these cards for the following challenges:-

CSD, Winter,

CCC101, Cold Outside,

CM, Embossing,

HJCC, Embossing.

Gorgeous Grunge

I thought that I'd share a card I made the other week using the Stamping Up set, Gorgeous Grunge.

Great for a simple card for a male especially when it's teamed up with some die cuts and washi tape.

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-

BS138, Anything goes,

CCC, For a boy,

Polkadoodles 12, Birthdays,

CBD, Male.

Been A Busy Girl!

Well, Father Christmas will soon be flying over off to leave presents for all the good boys and girls!

Today I have been a busy girly and have also spent a little time in the "Crafty Cabin" I do seem to have left things till the last minute this year.

The little red bag was made using my Stampin Up Envelope Board (I think that's what it's called) It took a 11x11" square of bazil to create it, it's big enough for a net of chocolate coins and a coupe of chocolate penguins.

It really is a great gadget! I just wish I'd given myself more time so that I could have added more decoration to the tiny money wallet/bags that I also made using 8x8" DP.

Then I got cracking making my mum a card, I know, it's similar to my card from the other day but this one has loads of glitter and a splash of red too!

I'm using these for the following challenges:-

ACC January, Anything goes, no cards, (Red bag)

PR13, Washi Tape,

LIM151, as week 143, twine,

Craftitude 55, Christmas sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by,

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Embrace Your Lumps And Bumps

That was a close one, I've been so busy that I forgot that today's the day for a new theme at Southern Girls.

For this fortnight's challenge Lou wants us all to

"Embrace Our Lumps And Bumps!"

Mine aren't all on show here lol!

I couldn't possibly share them all!

Anyway, I made this tag book as a birthday gift for a friend, it's decorated simply with washi tape and tiny hearts.

The lovely die cut on the front is by Marianne Createable, one of the sponsors this time. Please check out the challenge blog for full details of all of the sponsors this time!

I made the envelopes for my tag book using my wonderful new gadget, an "Envelope Punch Board" by Stamping-Up.

My oh my, if you think it's only for making envelopes, think again. I can't wait to get time to play properly with it and share some of the other things you can make using it.

I'm using this book for the following challenges:-

TTCRD, Anything goes,

Use It Tuesday, Brown lace,

CDD20, Tags,

MIM168, Anything goes,

SCH74, Tags or boxes.
