Anything Christmas WLSC

   Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for

We Love Stamping.  

This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme of  

Anything Christmas

 

I have so many stamps and couldn't find one I wanted to use, so I used a digi. Looking through my Christmas files, I found some lovely paper, I thought it would be a change for me to add an image. The papers, the frame, and the images were taken into Silhouette to cut out.

 

I coloured the hedgehogs with DIs, attached the background paper to gold mirror card, which was then attached to the base card. The cut out frame was 3D'd onto the main image, and then placed onto the base card. I decided to add some gems, that was the card finished.

Critter Crazy Challenge Celebration

   

 Hi Everyone, I have 2 DT cards today, this is for -

our new named blog
 

Critter Crazy

although the rules are slightly different, we still have the same challenge

Anything Goes but they MUST feature a critter as the main focus

Whether Furry, Feathered, Fantasy, Fairytale, 

Scaly, or Insect, there must be a critter...

I was going through my files and came across this celebration Teddy. He seemed perfect for today's card, it will go to my brother whose birthday is on the 5th January. 

Anyhow, I did my usual print and cut in my die cutting machine, usual 3 layers, no kerfuffle cutting out by hand for me! I stamped the background, added clear glaze, I love that stuff. I used DI's to colour around him too. Added a holographic layer so he has sparkle and shine.

Hi Everyone my DT post today is for

Our Sponsor for this challenge is
Di's Digi Stamps

Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with likeminded people.

I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.

This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

The Prize for the Winner is a generous $12 Voucher to store

Christmas Card Hedgehogs

Hi Everyone a Christmas card, Yep! I've made one. LOL. I saw this digital stamp by Di's Digis and loved it, it will be perfect for my overseas cards, being it includes a Royal Mail post box, I hope it will remind them of home. I coloured it digitally and then followed a sketch. I printed it on cross hatched card and it gives it a lovely texture, somewhat like a canvas. I then added Stickles to the snow and a die cut snowflake by Die'sire. I hope it will make posting a little cheaper. It cost me an absolute fortune last year.

EDITED I won Top 3 at Di's Digis for this card.
