CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra for August - Mid-Month Inspiration.

Welcome to our mid-month post for CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra!

 

This is my card:

 

 

He's Chimney Santa from Bugaboo Stamps colored with Copics and glitter.

I wanted to give my card a "vintage" style so I chose papers from My Mind's Eye and then I added some gold rhinestones in order to give a little bit of light.

Christmas Card Challenge # 6 - Anything Goes.

Good morning and welcome to a new Christmas Card Challenge!

 

This week it's Anything Goes!

 

 

And I made this:

 

I wanted to use my new stamp from 2 Cute Ink called Gingerbread Santa. I chose a patterned card and a background paper I found in a magazine.

Although I loved it, something in my mind kept telling me there was something wrong... I finally discovered I made a similar card last year: same base card, same paper and even a similar image of a gingerbread...

Anyway, I love it, this cute little Gingerbread is sooo cheerful, it makes me happy!

 

Have a look here and see the great cards the DT has made this week!

This is my card:

 

This is the second High Hopes stamp from Annie Lang I bought from Stamp and Create.

As I told you last week (you can read my post here), Annie Lang is my favourite artist and I longed to own some of her cute stamps.

He's Santa's Gift and I colored him with Copics and lots of glitter. Background papers are from Papermania.

It was difficult to choose just one stamp from the Christmas collection, but this Santa is SO cute I couldn't leave him in the shop!!
