Christmas reading bat

Hello hello,
today I would like to share with you a project I made using a stamp from the Christmas series.
I chose to work with the cute bat reading.
You can find the stamps here
Steps:
1. Cut a 10.5 x 14.5 cm card base from a 260g/mp2 cardstock.
2. Cut a piece of Bristol smooth paper of 10x14 cm and I made the background using Distress oxide inks. Blended everything together and then, using some masking paper I made the light for the street lamp.
3. Cut the hill using a border die.
4. Printed and colored using Polychromos pencils.
5. Stamped, cut and colored the street lamp and the sledge.
6. Assembled and glued everything together. Stamped the sentiment and added glossy accents.
7. As a final touch I added some snowflakes that I die cut using glitter paper.
 And this is it :)
Hope you'll like it.
Until next time, stay safe and huggies to all of you!

Vintage girl - Christmas Card

The weather outside is starting to look pretty wintry. 
cannot wait to play outside in the snow and enjoy the holidays.
But, until then, as I started making my Christmas cards, I found some vintage pictures that I bought some time ago so I decided to use them.
A first card in the series is the one that I am showing today.
I like to experiment mixed media techniques and I am taking baby steps in using chipboard pieces. I find them fascinating. 
 Steps:
1. Cut a card base of 10.5 x 14.5 cm creamy cardstock.
2. Cut a slight smaller piece of blueish pattern paper that I distressed and decorated using stencils, structure paste, embossing powder and inks.
3. Cut some shapes using dies - some swirls and a wreath.
4. Started assembling everything together. Added some flowers and glitter, glossy accents and this is it.
Hope you'll like it :)
Until next time, stay safe and huggies all






Challenge #6 Card



Hello everyone,
today's project is a Christmas card I made for a challenge on Try Stampin on  Tuesday challenge.
I had to make a card using the Tic tac Toe sketch  and a twist given by the Double Trouble Challenge Blog 
From the Tic Tac Toe I chose: Red, Circle and Tree and the twist was to add anything that hangs.
I decided to make a shaker card and to make a Christmas round ornament ... which hangs :)
I made a 10.5 x 14.5 cm card, I used some die cuts and an embossed sentiment. Not very complicated but I really love the result.
Hope you'll like it too. Until next time, stay safe and take care.
Huggies all

Wanderer Card

Hello everyone,
today's post is on a card I made using a digi stamp from Andrea Norris - owner of SheepSki Design.
For November's challenge at Brown Sugar the theme is to make a project expressing thankfulness, gratitude or a thank you.

I chose to work with the Wanderer because I considered it to be very challenging.

So, this is what I did:

1. Cut a 10.5 x 14.5 cm card base from a 300g cardstock.
2. Printed the digi stamp on a coloring friendly white card stock and colored it using Polychromos pencils.
3. I made the background using Distress Inks and Oxides on which I stamped and embossed the mountains using a stamp from my stash.
4. I added snow paste on the peaks for some interest.
5. I added the stamp using foam tape and as a final touch I stamped some birds and the sentiment.

And this is it!
Really hope you'll enjoy it.
