Christmas Kickstart Challenge #70 - Reminder

 

Over at Christmas Kickstart we're in the company of the lovely Beverly from Bev's Creative Path and we're playing with Stencils and Masks.

To inspire us for this challenge Bev created an adorable snowman card and matching envelope. I love how she staged the photograph too!

I really struggled not to simply just CASE Bev's card as I love the design, colours and everything about it, but I came up with this as my 'inspired by...' creation.

  

I borrowed Bev's big snowflake stencilling, snowman and spotty scarf. There's a mish-mash of different card company's stamps on this one, but they seem to hang together quite well. The snowmen are from Merry Gnomes by Jane's Doodles, the cute fir trees come from Mama Elephant Scene Builder and the sentiment is Puffy Holiday Greetings, also from Mama Elephant. The snowflake background is an older stencil and I've lost the packaging. 

I also made this little square card for the challenge. The stencil is from Funky Fossil and the lovely Dala Horse die is from Creative-Depot. 

    

Rudolph starts the year with a sweet little prize from LOTV as his Random Raffle offering. Don't forget to read the Challenge Guidelines before entering as Ruddy can get quite grumpy when participants enter too many challenges and can't be awarded their prize!  

 

Beverly and I can't wait to see your Stencilled and/or masked creations, so please head on over to Christmas Kickstart Challenge #70 and join the fun.

Let's Squash It! Challenge #20 - Squash Those Scraps!

 

Welcome, welcome, welcome! It's the 10th of the month and so this can mean only one thing: there's a brand new challenge over at Let's Squash It!

This month we're all about the scraps. Whether it's plain cardstock, coloured card or patterned paper we want to see you squashing those scraps!

Here's what I made for the challenge.

I had quite a few different pieces of DP leftover from previous projects, so I cut myself a cardstock base and then just added the snippets in an appealing pattern. Then I ran this through my embossing machine and here's the result! 

The cute panda is from Creative-Depot and the 'Fabulous' die is from Stamplorations.  

I'm also linking-up at the official home of the Snippet - Snippets Playground Challenge #427. 

Gail and I have a fabulous guest designer with us for this challenge, and I know you'll love what she's made to inspire us all, so please head on over and take a look!
