We have yet another fab sunny, cold and frosty day here. It just makes you feel so glad to be alive.....I take each day as it comes and I try to enjoy each day as no one knows what is round the corner....
Yesterday I was playing with a Altenew stamp set called "Beautiful Day"
Can't have enough "Thank You" cards.....
I loved doing all the stamp layering and masking off needed to create these cards !!
The lovely sentiment is from a Stampin Up set and I've used distress inks to stamp and colour.
Perhaps you would like to make these cabbage roses with the left over papers then !!
You will need six for each rose.
Pinch in middle and twist three times each paper, then overlap. On a 1 1/2" square of card, glue with glue dots four papers, one each side. then two in middle. crush up a piece of copy paper to make a ball and use last choc paper to wrap round to make centre of rose.
All you need now are your Fiskar's border punches to decorate your parcels !!
Well not long now peeps and I still have things to finish and make !!
But
You must have a favourite HM Design, Happy Hopper or Gruffies Christmas card you have made so why not enter it in our House Mouse and Friends " Anything Christmas Goes " themed challenge which is runing till Jan 7th !!
My little guys are getting ready for Christmas and all the snow which is heading our way !!
Used lots of ribbon and lace, added loads of sparkle to all the leaves, coloured with copics, pierced and distressed round all the edges and die cut my sentiment.
We have some fabulous sponors with big prizes up for grabs !!

Been playing with my Pink Your Life stamps and promarkers. I started with a piece of A4 card and with my airbrush made a dot and spray background using a few of my promarkers.
Then had great fun stamping, colouring and fussy cutting out all the images. great relaxing thing to do when its a dull, dark day......
Next I cut the A4 in half, cutting out a square aperture in one half, mounting this on 3D foam tape to make a raised frame.
Then a way I went with some Sweet Dixie dies and my cure Fiskars bee punch, 3d foam tape, more stamping and some ribbon to create this fun card.
Christmas card peeps, this time using a fun Penny Black stamp from the set called " Party Friends ". These three are having fun at their Christmas party.....
I used three different black and white pattern papers, cut snowflake borders and snowflakes, gingham ribbon bows and black stitched bow, few pearls and heart buttons and coloured the hats with copics.
Got a bit of lovely sunshine this morning, not a bit like winter......
I adore LOTV stamps and have treated myself to a few...this one is called " Midsummer's Night ", but fairies don't feel the cold so I have made a cute different winter Christmas card with her.
Just made a background using distress ink and water and frantage for the snow. Coloured in using copics and a glitter pen for a bit of sparkle. Added a few die cut trees, sentiment, bobble trim, gingham ribbon and a few snowflakes !!
I have a little something that might just brighten your day to give away !!

Went over for a tea, cake and catch up with lovely friend Nicki the other week and never come home empty handed !! Nicki is always giving me bits and pieces as she knows I love them and can use them. This time I came home with a fabulous set of flamingo stamps and dies which I love !!
I did make four cards, but sadly the forth decided to take a nose dive into my cup of tea.......
Christmas should be fun and my little guy sure is enjoying his !!
Just made a cloud background using inks and stamped and coloured my little guy using Spectrum Noir pens.
Used some perfect pearls on his hat and frantage for the snow. The fun sentiment stamp is by SU. Topped it all off with a crinkled ribbon bow using my heat gun and some pearls and a snowflake.
