Christmas kisses

 A slightly vintage feel with brown mats and layers stamped with brown ink -soft colours are lovely but not so good to take  a pic of.

ABC Christmas challenge L & M - layers or mice - 

I have some cute christmas mice so maybe I will have another stab at this challenge.

Birthday butterfly

 All these colours made me think of Summer which is  a long way off here in Tasmania. We usually have lots of frost with blue sky and sunshine in the Winter but so far we have had very heavy rain and strong winds. I am not a happy bunny.

Allsorts challenge week 733- Blooms -butterflys  or bees

Butterfly challenge 184 - A/G with a butterfly as the main focus.

Graphic45

 these were both made by cutting out sections from a 12x12 sheet called Time to Flourish from Graphic45. I love the top card with the added stamp image at the bottom but not so much the second card. The flower and some of the leaves are raised on sticky pads.

Happy thoughts

 I am loving the tulip stamps and dies from the magazine die-cutting essentials.

Allsorts challenge week 733 - AG with the option of bees, butterflies or blooms.

White die cut tulips with patterned paper behind 

- sentiment is a stamp and matching die from Altenew.

die cut roses and a bad buy

these pearl drops say the colour is snow and it was just what I wanted to bring a little light into this very flat colour. As you can see below perfect little white pearls.

As the drops dried they became almost invisible - not so much snow as ice.

 

I added some grey inks to  a piece of white card, die cut the roses and the sentiment. The stencil colour was a bit darker than expected - I may line up the stencil again and go over it with white.

Scrappy birthday

 The dark paper is the reverse of the leaf paper - a mix n match of dies -  a quick make for a male card.

An early taste of Christmas

Lots of papers - I had a second sheet of the bauble paper so was able to cut out the blue bauble and raise it up.No stamps so I used stickers - 'Believe ' and on the inside  'the magic on Christmas'.

Lots of papers and stickers to make some more cards,
 

Christmas Craft Creations - may challenge No Stamps. . lucky I had these lovely stickers .

Flower power

 This tulip stamp was from the Die-cutting essentials magazine. I don't buy many magazines but this issue had a lot on offer, you can stamp  just the outlines of the tulips and colour them or you can use the solid tulip sections and stamp the colour. Two tulip dies and 3 die words also came in the pack.
