Merry Christmas Everyone

Helloooooo I thought I would quickly pop on to show you a card I made a couple of weeks ago but havnt shown yet.

Its going to be a really quick post as I'm in the middle of baking & I've got the christmas gravy to make......I always do Jamie Olivers Christmas gravy as its soooooooo darn yummy. The link is here for anyone wanting to try it.....though I dont use star anise as I think its overpowering & I also dont use the sherry or port........but they are optional!!

I'm not going to be able put all the links to items used as I dont have time today but will pop back on at some point to add links.

I made this initially for All About Magnolia challenge but this months challenge is cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances....so it was made a month ago lol.

I've used a Marianne Doily die in the corner there, then Marianne Holly die, a couple of rose & a Kort Og Godt flower.

The trees are from the latest Magnolia Club Kit.

The pale pink lace & the white lace are from my stash. The papers are Maja Design Home For The Holidays.

The fence this side & the hearts are from the Magnolia Club Kit also.

On this piccy you can see the glitter better, I added snowtex to the bottom then sprinkled glitter while it was still wet. I also added Tim Holtz glitter to the gorgeous snowman that Tilda is building..

The snow-man is also from the club kit & I think was my favourite die in this kit......I love it!! This time I cut him out twice, 1 in white card then again in matching papers then popped him onto foam pads for dimension. Isn't he so darn cute ;-)

The penguin there is a Joy Crafts die from Noor Design UK & I inked him in Pumice Stone.

The fabulous stamp is Magnolia Me & My Snowman from the Aspen collection.....I coloured the image with distress ink refills & it was stamped onto Fabriano watercolour paper from Noor Design UK.

Well thats it from me but I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. May you all be surrounded by love & happiness & your loved ones. May we spare a thought for those less fortunate than us & be thankful for everything & everyone we have in our lives.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!

Lotsa jolly hugs

Hello everyone, can you believe its been a month since the last challenge begun......where are the days going........I have soooooooo much shopping to do still...

Anyhoo less babble now ;-) Our new challenge over at Noor Design UK this month should fit any of those crimbo cards/projects we still have left to do......I still have a few to do lol.

I made another lollipop card.....this one however stayed as a lollipop card as they are so darn cute & I love making them ;-)

I have used my favourite papers, stamp, embellies........ok the list can go on here lol. 

All links to items used will be at the bottom of this post.......except my new die but will explain that in a bit.

Tracy recently added........much to my excitement, cinnamon sticks & bells.......yessssssss.

Can you see the little flowers there...........guess what i Made them with Foamiran. I made these a few days ago & since I have won a flower making class by the unber talented Lady E..........OMG I love this lady's creations........I want to be as talented as she is when I grow up lol.

Truth be known I dont want to grow up lol.

Have you seen these cute little tree's.........they are from the latest Magnolia Doohickey club kit Volume 12..... I sprayed them with glue & then smothered them in glitter........only because the challenge wanted sparkle, or I wouldnt have added it pmsl.......yeah right like I need an excuse to add sparkle pmsl.....

Some more foamiran flowers made by ickle me.

This I made monday along with a few other flowers that I cant decide whether they are roses or carnations but I feel quite proud of them.......... I didnt follow any tutorial & just played. The bottom layer of the poinsettia (the leafy bit_ I also gave the sparkle treatment.......it looks lush in real life!!

This is the reverse side of the Lollipop so nothing gets squashed I made a pocket for tags, I'm still quite proud I came up with this idea ;-) Can you see the doily............that is my new die, not new out just new to me. Its a Cheery Lynn Doily die & I LOVE IT!!! You may see this lots.

The magnolia stamps on the front are from the Aspen collection & I coloured them with distress ink refills & markers. The bow is also a magnolia die. You can also see the lace better here, how pretty is that.........

Noor Design UK DT Post

Hello all I'm here with a christmas card today using things from Noor Design UK, I made this card a couple of weeks ago but forgot to add the flowers until last night.

The idea of the card came form a Hanglar card I saw on Pinterest a LONG LONG time ago.......many of you may have seen it. It was an oblong card but with 2 hanglar images........I took the 2 images & extended on it.

I made a tag card instead of an oblong card........all links will be at the bottom of the post.

I've used Magnolia stamps from the latest collection, this is 'Sitting Cozy Edwin' & he was coloured with distress inks & markers.

I also added a die-cut Find It Trading behind with him.........I also did the same behind Tilda below.........

......this is 'Sitting Cozy Tilda' also coloured with distress inks & markers. The banners that they are sitting on are going to have names added but I dont want the people who are having this card to see ;-)

This is the inside, of course I will add a place to write or I might add a pocket to put tags in to write on......I havnt decided.

The papers are all Maja Design 'I Wish' colection, 12x12 sheets.

The squares were cut out using Little Darlings dies & mounted onto foam tape, Edwin & Tilda were also mounted onto foam tape.........all to give dimension.

I added seam binding to the eyelet at the top & hung a charm from it with wax cord.

The flowers are WOC & the leaves are Rosy Owl which I cut from Pion paper. I also added bark stars & a loose pearl from my stash.

The Merry Christmas banner is also from the same paper collection.

Thanks for stopping by.

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx
