Merry Little Christmas Challenge

It's May 1st and time for another fun anything goes challenge over at The Merry Little Christmas Challenge blog.

I wanted to make something fun and playful, and once I'd spotted this sweet bear from the MFT sELFies set I knew I'd got the start of my card. I don't think MFT make this set anymore, which is a great pity. I liberated him from his frame and tucked him behind a die cut sentiment. 

Once I'd started work on this card it was quite a quick and easy make, although I wish I'd stamped a background rather than having a flat red behind him. 

As always, the gals at MLCC have created some adorable cards, so please come on over and take a look!

It's time for a brand new Anything Goes Christmas Challenge over at MLCC.

I was in the mood to play with this sweet little pup from Avery Elle. Unfortunately, I don't think this set is still available anywhere, which is a pity as it's so cute. 

The sentiment is also from Avery Elle and is from the Wreath Tag Sentiments set. I opted for a non-traditional colour combo. The gang over at MLCC have created some great cards and we'd love you to drop on over and play along!

It's January 1st - So I'll send Happy New Year greetings to all my Cardland buddies!

And what a fabby way to start 2025 as we open a new year of inspiration over at Merry Little Challenge Blog with a sweet little Anything Christmas Goes Challenge.  

I spotted this gorgeous stamp and sentiment set from Uniko a little while back and knew I had to buy it. Isn't it pretty, and oh, so versatile too. I love the two examples that Beverley made and may have to give the glittery, sparkly version a try. How lovely that you can also use this set for a Diwali card too. Nice!

We're having a change of 'leader' over at MLCC, and so, as she steps down, I'd like to thanks lovely Leslie for all her hard work and encouragement. We're now going to be in the very capable hands of Tina and I'm sure you'll all join in wishing her all the very best in her new role!

Merry Little Christmas Challenge - Anything Christmas Goes for November

 

November? How did that happen? Goodness, it's not long until 'Ho, Ho, Ho Season'!

Thankfully, I have quite a good stash of Christmas cards, but you can never have too many and so I grabbed one of my fave stamp sets and got crafting to create a card for the brand new Anything Christmas Goes at MLCC.

To make my card I combined Altenew Chrystal Wall 3D and Dear Santa from Avery Elle. Unfortunately, neither of these lovely products seem to be available these days. I wasn't going to colour this cat as a Siamese, but I couldn't resist doing so.

Merry Little Christmas Challenge #58 - Anything Goes Christmas

It's time for another Anything Goes Christmas Challenge over at MLCC!

There are some gorgeous cards from the DT to inspire and delight, so why not drop over and take a peek?

I was in the mood for some Colorado Craft Company fun, so inked up and coloured this sweet image. I'm a long term fan of Anita Jeram's critters and always loved her book illustrations; imagine my delight when her stamps became available.  

Happy September to you all!

Hi guys, thanks for joining me to welcome in a brand new month AND a brand new challenge over at The Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog!

A big thank you to my dear blogging buddy, Gundi, for this gorgeous little kitty image. If you'd like to buy this little sweetie you can do so here. I used the centre of Simon Says Stamp's Joyful die as the little box for this sweet guy to stand on. 

As always, there's some great inspiration on offer over at MLCC, so why not drop by and take a look!

Merry Little Christmas Challenge

 

Happy May, everyone! It's never too early to begin making your Christmas/Holiday cards...

Here's my little offering for the new challenge over at The Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog. Isn't it a pity these gorgeous Stampin' Up! mice are no longer available. I'm so glad I bagged this set when I did. 

I took my cue for the colours from the design paper and then spent an age trying to decide whether to add a sentiment. I decided to leave it as it is and not cover that sweet patterned paper. 

The DT have created some beautiful cards, so please come on over and play along! 

Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog #55 - Anything Goes

 

Hi everyone, and welcome to my very first DT outing with the fabulous crew over at The Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog.  A big thank you to blog owner Leslie for inviting me to join the fun! This is a great little challenge with a very talented DT, plus links to a heap of other challenges run by the same team. 

Every challenge is an Anything Goes Christmas Challenge and the team hosts six challenges per year, with each challenge lasting approximately six weeks.

I had great fun playing with this little hoo from AI called Beanie Hoot set. Since taking early ill-health retirement I'm tending to buy older/reduced stamps and did a little happy dance when I spotted this cute guy on sale. The papers are Carta Bella - Snow Much Fun. 

Please head on over and take a look at all of the gorgeous DT makes - there's so much festive eye candy awaiting you there!
