Gingerbread Cookie

 Good Morning!
It's only a few days until Christmas but I'm still ploughing ahead with the Christmas cards. It is my favourite card occasion to craft for and at least I'l have a few ready to go in next years stash (which I'm sure will come in handy as this time next year I'l have a child pottering about! It honestly doesn't feel real yet knowing that in a couple of months time I'l be having a little girl.) Today's card isn't for a DT, it's one that I simply made for fun yesterday morning.

Lili of the Valley Design Team - Happy Xmas!

   Good Morning!

I'm back today with a card using another of the Digi stamps from the latest release from LOTV ... a fabulous Christmassy bundle! I felt that this stamp was more suited to a clean & simple style so I kept the layers and embellies to a minimum.

Now remember that if you purchase this bundle between now and the 25th of December then you will also receive ALL of the LOTV Digi Stamps on the website ABSOLUTELY FREE! That's over 680 DIGI'S FOR FREE!
Equally if you purchase the Simply Prints version you will also receive ALL 460 Simply Prints for Free ... what more could you want for Christmas?!

Lili of the Valley Design Team - Cosy Penguin

 Good Morning!

Here's another card from me using an older design by LOTV which can still be purchased as both a Simply Print & Digi. I decided to make a layered card but not to add too many chunky layers from foam tape & embellishments as I wanted to see if it was still possible to make a layered card that could still be sent using a regular postage stamp ... it is.

Christmas Pudding

 Good Morning!
I'm back with another Christmas card today where I've used a pre-made topper from a selection of sheets that I was gifted from a fellow crafter earlier in the year. I made this card for my Grandad as it isn't too "cutesy" and of course who can resist a Christmas pudding?!

Penny Black Saturday - December Challenge!

Good Morning!
Today we have a new challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE. 
This month's challenge is 'Anything Goes with the Option of  'Winter Wonderland'.

I played along with this month's theme by using one of the foliage cling stamps as I've interpreted the wonderland part as Nature. I wanted to add a little bit of colour so I've used a green distress ink blended behind the image and also highlighted the mistletoe berries with Stickles frosted glitter.

INGREDIENTS -
Penny Black Stamps
Frosted Stickles on the Mistletoe berries
Silver Glitter Dome Stickers by Art Studio & Clear Dew Drop

I'd like to enter the following challenges -
SPARKLES CHRISTMAS - FEATURE A CHRISTMAS SONG OR CAROL 
(Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas)

HAPPY CRAFTING!

Christmas Blessings

Good Morning!
Today's card is a little different for me, I've made this card for my Auntie that prefers the more religious side of Christmas and used a decoupage sheet that I was gifted from a fellow crafter earlier in the year. It's always nice to make something slightly out of your comfort zone but as you can see I've still tried to make it in my usual style.INGREDIENTS -
