Christmas

Good morning and a very happy

Today over at the Digi Choosday blog, although the challenge is always anything goes for you, the team were challenge to make something for Christmas. Now I'm well in front with lots of my makes, especially my tags, so I thought I would do a card for a male. I've used the Work and Play 5, Festive Hollybobs collection to make this. And in particular, design sheet number 2 from the collection. All I've added is a cream card blank and some red card to layer up. I fussy cut everything and then mounted everything onto 3D foam.

 I think this would also be able to be given to a woman as well as a man, what do you think? And of any age too.

Now go over to the blog to grab today's discount code and of course get more Christmas ideas from the rest of the team.

I'm entering this into the following challenges:

Good morning and a very happy

Today over at the Digi Choosday blog we are continuing with our Christmas makes for you. But of course it is anything goes for you if you join us.

I've used the Work and Play 5, Festive Hollybobs collection to make this. It's still a great collection to use as it hasn't aged at all. I've used one of the design sheets, a piece of red card and a white card blank to make my card. I've fussy cut all the elements of the sheet out and mounted them all on 3D foam to make them pop off the card. I've added a few dots here and there on the blank spaces to give it something extra rather than do my usual squiggly line around the edges.

 Here is a close up of the layers for you.

I hope you come and join in with our challenge for your choice to win some fab prizes. So go check out the rest of the teams makes and of course, grab today massive discount code which only runs for 24 hours!

Snowy Christmas

Good morning everyone. Wow Winter is really here now isn't it. Up here in the North of England we are being battered by gail force winds and heavy rain, perfect weather for sitting beside a nice fire and crafting away.

Today I'm here with my make for the Challenge over at the Graph'It Markers colouring challenge blog. We are being sponsored by Polkadoodles this week (Yay!) and the challenge is Snowy Christmas. Here is my make, and the colour chart I had to use.

The image is from the Work & Play 5 collection, Festive Hollybobs. I have kept it simple by just using an embossed background as this will be for our little Nico as he loves doggies.

The GI's I have used are:

Skin: 4125, 4150, 3120, 4145

Purples: 6190, 6180, 6140

Greens: 7240, 7220, 7210

Greys: 9104, 9103, 9102

Punches and Dies

Gosh it's Choosday again, I'm sure these weeks are passing by quicker and quicker, or is that just because I'm getting older and older? Who knows but I wish time would slow down lol
So this week over at the Digi Choosday blog our challenge is to use punches and/or die cuts on your make, and here is mine:

 The cute image, little elf, and papers are from the Work and Play Festive Hollibobs Download Collection, which is also available as a CD

Presents and gifts

Good morning blogland, it Choosday again and todays challenge is all about Christmas Presents and Gifts. I have made a gift box for my make to put a present inside.

I have used a paper (printed onto card) and embellishments from the Work & Play Festive Hollybobs CD. I have printed the poinsettia 3 times and decoupaged it up to give it some dimension. The presents, reindeer, holly and sentiment are all on 3D foam to give them dimension as well.

Christmas

Good morning and happy choosday everyone. 

We are having a DT call so pop over to the blog for all the details! As long as you can produce one make a week and have a blog and use social media to share your makes you will be considered! So no thinking you are not good enough or haven't been crafting for long enough because all levels of crafting will be considered!

Where has this year gone, I can't believe it's October already! Before we know it Christmas will be knocking at the door, and with that in mind the challenge we set over at Digi Choosday this week is Christmas. We thought we would give you some ideas or inspiration to get you going! Here is my make:

The cute image and papers are from the Work & Play 5 Festive Hollybobs download. This is also available as a CD if you prefer and that can be found here. The image is coloured with my Graph'It Markers. The little boxes have been cut on my Cameo and covered in the papers from the card. The die cuts are from Tattered Lace. I think this will be little Nico's card this year!

Anything but a square card and Christmas!

Good morning everyone, I'm here with a post for 2 blogs today, but only one make to cover both. I very rarely do this but needs must this week I'm afraid. Our poor little Nico was taken in hospital last Saturday night very ill and was placed in quarantine. The poor little mite had days of blood tests and scans to endure to try to find out what was wrong with him. Alas no definite reason was given other than an infection which caused problems with his white blood cells and Lymph nodes. So we have all had a few sleepless nights and no concentration whatsoever! I have tried crafting but everything ended up in the bin, hence to one make for 2 blogs. Thankfully he was allowed home last night and seems to be picking up, his neck is still really swollen though bless him.
Anyhoo here is my make!
It is for the Polkadoodles blog where the challenge is Anything but a square card and the Doobadoo challenge which starts on Sunday and is Christmas.

The image is from the Work & Play Festive Hollybobs CD as are the papers. The collection is also available as an instant download too! She is coloured with my Graph'It Markers. The shape of the card is cut using the Dutch Doobadoo shape art square 15x15cm.
All the dies are from Tattered Lace.
