Going Metallic at 12 MoC LinkUp

 Good morning. Our challenge this month at the 12 Months of Christmas LinkUp is to add some metallic. If you want the chance to win this month's featured paper pack, be sure that your card features something METALLIC. Add the shimmer of metal to your card by way of metallic markers, gold or silver glitter, embossing powder, wire or metal embellishments, or through the use of foil, chrome or other metallic type textures and papers, or any other way you can think of!
  
Keep in mind though, that you don't need to follow the twist to link up your cards and earn a free paper each month or for a chance to win a $10.00AU gift voucher from this month's sponsor, Beccy's Place. You simply need to follow the twist if you'd like a chance to win this month's featured digital paper pack, Embossed Metallic: Christmas Edition (you can see a preview for this set by clicking HERE).

My Card

 I used blue glitter paper from Decosses Dynamite Doodles for my backing. The image and sentiment are from our sponsor's "Festive Baubles". I added hanging baubles from Memory Box diecut from blue glitter card and then some metal snowflakes I found in  my stash from years ago.

Why not pop across to the blog to see what the other Sleigh Belles have made for this challenge and then check back mid month to see the work of the Merry Maidens.

Have a good day.

 

Humour for the Christmas Card Club

 Rachel wants to see some humour in our cards this time. We do have the option of Anything Goes but I do like the challenge of doing something that I might not normally do.

My Card

This image from Beccy's Place really makes me smile and reminds me of how often those darn Christmas tree lights become tangled.  This is a 7" square card.  The scraps of Christmas tree lights card was in my snippets box and I cannot remember where it is from. I just fussy cut the light bulbs in the corner from some clip art which I printed onto a scrap of photo paper to give it some gloss.

Take care.

 

Christma Flowers at MAWTT

 Good morning.  It's the first of the month so time for a new challenge at Moving Along With The Times. Jenny  chose our theme this month and as you can see she wants to see Christmas Flowers.  Poinsettia tome are the quintessential Christmas flower.  I always buy a plant at Christmas - but I'm never successful at keeping them alive for too long. 😉😞

My Card

I love this image from Beccy's Place and used the Britannia poinsettia dies and ivy leaves from John Next Door to replicate the corner on the image. It fits so well inside the Spellbinders diecut.

Why not pop across to the blog and check out the cards made by the rest of the team?

Hope you are having a good weekend and not having too bad a time with the awful weather.

Take care.

My Card

6" square base card

Image - Cardinal and Holly - freebie from Beccy's Place
Paper - Holly Boughs  DDDoodles

I kept my card CAS by adding the image to the backing paper  digitally, and also adding a digital border. After attaching this to the card base I just added the sentiment die so it is still flat for posting.

Gingerbread for the 12 Months of Christmas Link Up

 Good morning. I hope you are all doing okay. It's time for my second DT post for the 12 Months of Christmas Link Up. Our sponsor this month is Beccy's Place.

My Card

 

Recipe

6"  kraft base card - from Hobbycraft card stock

 papers - Peppermint Diagonals "12 Days Of Christmas 2018"   

Cookie Group - from Gingerbread Cookies  

(both papers - Decosses Dynamite)

 image and sentiment - Beccy's Place  "Sugar and Spice " set

Christmas die - First Edition 

Promarkers to colour

As you can see I have gone with another zed fold card.  It just seemed to fit with the image of my gingerbread men marching across the card.

There is an optional twist to the challenge if you would like to follow it, but mainly the idea is somewhere for you to link up all your Christmas cards throughout the year.  The twist for this month's challenge is to use some form of a gingerbread image eg gingerbread house, gingerbread men or women, or general gingerbread cookies, etc.  as the main image for your card. Keep in mind though that you don't need to follow the twist to link up your cards and earn a free paper each month, or for a chance to win a $10 AU gift voucher from Beccy's Place.

Why not pop across to the blog and check out what the other Sleigh Belles have made with their images?  Maybe it will inspire you to create something too and get ahead with your Christmas cards.

Well that's it from me today.  I hope you all have a great weekend.

Take care and happy crafting .

Winter Wonderland Challenge - It's Snow Time

Good morning.  I hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year.  I took a total break from blogging but now I'm back.

Welcome to the first challenge of 2019 at Winter Wonderland. We now have a new format.  The two teams have now combined into one and we will be posting monthly in future on the first Friday of the month. Our first challenge is sponsored by Beccy Muir at Beccy's Place and the theme is It's Snow Time and Kath would like to see snowmen or snow flakes on your cards. I am using one of the images from Snow Folk set.

My Card

Recipe

6" square base card - using Hobbycraft cardstock

Holly Jolly Music Border die - Yvonnes Creations

Promarkers to colour.

I decided to make a CAS  card and so printed the digital image directly onto the card stock before cutting and folding the card to size. I also computer generated  the sentiment above and below the image. I then attached the die cut image and added a little glitter and that was it. Simple, I think, but quite effective.  I think the centre snow person looks rather cross and the one on the right looks as if he's had a drink or two ... lol! Maybe that's why she's cross!

Why not pop over to the blog and see what my team mates have come up with.  You could win a prize from Beccy's Place.

Well that's all from me today.

Take care.
