You're my Snow Buddy!

 Hello to all you lovely people out there in Cardland.

I had such a fun time playing with my BB MFT stamps the other day that I thought I'd whip up another card in the same style. I used the same cardmaking ingredients, but changed the Santa image for this cute little girl and her pup.

My SoSS teamie, Lindsey, created this adorable card for Happy Little Stampers, so I thought I'd follow her lead and play along. HLS November Challenge is:

The DT cards for this challenge are adorable and the gallery is filling up with some beautiful makes. 

I'm also playing at the rather fabulous CAS Christmas Card Challenge as their last theme of 2021 is Christmas Critters.

They have some beautiful cards to see over there too, so it's time to grab a cuppa and go enjoy some blog visiting! 

Have a happy day!

Happy Birthday to you, CAS Christmas!

 

So here's a card that proved VERY tricky to photograph!

I couldn't resist joining the fun over at CAS Christmas Challenge as I LOVE kraft, red and white as a Christmas colour combo.  I kept it all very simple, and almost single layer, by adding a smidgen of coloured paper and that sweet Wplus9 image. The sentiment comes from the same set, and the snow comes curtesy of a background stamp from MFT I'd forgotten I had! 

The colours are Waaaaaaaaaaaaay off in this photoghraph, and the shading on the girl's hair and hat has disappeared completely, but hopefully you can get the drift!

Edited to add: Here's the same card under different lighting.

I'm sending BIG congratulations to the gang over at CAS Christmas Card Challenge as they are celebrating their third birthday! They are such a talented bunch and, as always, the inspiration on offer is gorgeous. There are some lovely prizes on offer too, so why not head over, wish them a happy birthday and play along!

Santa on the Roof

 Hi there, today I'm playing at CAS Christmas as their theme is:

and also at Shopping Our Stash Challenge #436 where, unusually, the guys want to see something new!

My something new is this adorable die from Dixi Craft. I saw this card on Gail's blog and fell head over heals with Santa on the Roof.

The sentiment is from a set I've had for a while but always enjoy using: Mama Elephant: Puffy Holiday Greetings. 

Hope you have a happy week, keep safe everyone!

But is it CAS and snowy enough?

Hi guys, I'm hoping that my card is CAS enough for the September Challenge over at the CAS Christmas Card Challenge... 

I'm also hoping my card is snowy enough for the ABC Challenge S is for Snowy!

What do you think?

Isn't this bear just the cutest?

My original plan was to have the bear holding a tree, but I wasn't happy with how that looked and went with Plan B instead. For me the candy cane gives a nice 'pop' of colour in the middle of the card so it all worked out well! I always enjoy using this cute set from Sugar Pea Designs (Hey, Winter) and love that the bear comes with the option of adding a hat and a jumper! The sentiment is an oldie that has lost it's packaging.

There are some gorgeous inspiration cards and a lovely gallery for this challenge, so I'm going to grab a cuppa and go visiting!

Stay safe and keep crafting!
