Christmas on the Farm

This is another slimline card that I have created with the Hunkydory Winter Wildlife Collection, the printed card stock is perfect for slimline cards.

I've used another of the fabulous images with the tractor and the dog in the snow, this takes me back to my childhood spent of the farm, we actually had snow at Christmas then!  This is another simple card, I just added a sentiment, some foliage cut with a Sue Wilson die and a red bow.

Festive Friends

I have another card created with the Hunkydory Winter Wildlife collection to share today, I just love these adorable donkeys.

This time I have created a slimline card, I used one of the printed card stock sheets and one of the matching papers along with a gorgeous topper and a sentiment from another Hunkydory Christmas collection - you don't really need to do a lot to make a card with this gorgeous collection.

Thankfully Blogger seems to have sorted out the commenting problems a bit, I'm still getting a few ending up in my spam folder but not as many as I was at one point.

Warm Winter Wishes

As soon as a saw the new Hunkydory Winter Wildlife Luxury Topper Collection, I knew I just had to get it, the toppers are beautiful.

This is the first card that I have made with it, a very simple card really, all I have used is one of the toppers, a sentiment and one of the printed card stock sheets, I just added some die cut snowflakes.

Hot Chocolate Gift

I made up several of these Hot Chocolate Gift sets to give as small gifts this Christmas.

I found the mugs on Amazon and popped a Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate Spoon, some Marshmallows, a chocolate Santa and some other assorted chocolates in them. I put them in gift bags that I created with papers from the Violet Studio Home for Christmas collection, I used two papers for each bag and secured them with some twine from my stash.

Elves and Snowmen

Another three of cards and giftbags for my son's pupils, these are the final three that I created with the Craft Consortium Made by Elves collection.

The papers with the signs on are from the Made by Elves collection and the Dotty papers are from the It's Snome Time collection, I used two of the square Made by Elves decoupage toppers and created the circular topper using a scene from one of the papers and leftover decoupage layers. I computer generated the sentiments and created the gift bags using the 12 x 12 papers.

Christmas Wreath

I have created another card with the Sara Signature - Winter Wonderland collection, I'm not sure who this one is for yet, it's quite flat so it might go in the post.

I fussy cut the wreath from one of the 12 x 12 papers, I cut the bow twice so that I could layer it up for dimension, the background is one of the 6 x 6 papers.  The die cut sentiment is part of a Poppy Stamps tag die, I cut it from dark green card stock, it looks black in the photos but it actually matches the green on the wreath and papers.

Christmas Elves

These are two more of the cards and gift bags that I have made for my son to give his pupils, he will fill the bags with some sweets, and small gifts - he is coming to collect them all today.

I have used one of the papers, they have the same pattern on both sides but one side has a white background and the other has a dark brown background.  I also used one of the decoupage toppers and added a computer generated sentiment.

Winter Wonderland

This is another card that I have created for one of our neighbours, it is the same design as one I made previously using the Sara Signature - Poinsettia Perfection collection, this time I have used the Sara Signature - Winter Wonderland collection.

I used four of the papers and cut the Poinsettia with the die from the Poinsettia Perfection collection.  I cut the banners with my Die-namics Fishtail Flag Dies, the silver star is an unbranded die and the foliage was cut with some Tim Holtz dies.

Four more

I am sharing four more of the cards that I have made for my Teacher son to give his pupils this Christmas, I am also making gift bags for him to fill.

It's Snome Time

It's the time of year when I start to make gift bags for my Teacher son to fill and give his class for Christmas, I need to make 30 and this year I have decided to make Christmas cards to go with them - I really need to use up some of my Christmas collections.

I am sharing the first two today.

I have used the Craft Consortium - It's Snome Time collection, there is a 12 x 12 paper pad and eight toppers, two of four designs.  I've kept things simple, I used two of the papers, a topper with one layer of decoupage and a sentiment on each card and another sheet of the paper to create the gift bag.

Two down, twenty eight to go!

Reindeer Family

I've managed to make another Christmas card that is suitable to pop in the post, it's so difficult to keep them flat enough!

I have used another of my Crafter's Companion Sweet 16th Birthday purchases, the Reindeer Family Create-a-Card die along with papers from the First Edition Arctic Wonder Paper collection.  I used some Aqua card stock and a very old Dovecraft sentiment stamp that has been in my stash for ages, I popped it up with 2mm foam pads.

The Most Wonderful Time

I have been making some more Christmas cards, I have used the Dovecraft Winter Wonderland collection to create this one.

I have used papers from the 8 x 8 Paper Pad and a decoupage topper from the Decoupage Pad, I have only used three layers and 2mm foam pads as this card will probably be posted.  I have used my Die-namics Fishtail Flag Dies again and matted the papers with some silver glitter card stock.

Three French Hens

This is the third card that I have created with my recently purchased First Edition The Twelve Days of Christmas collection, no surprise it is the Three French Hens.

I used two papers from the 6 x 6 paper pad and cut the toppers from the 12 x 12 paper pad.  The sentiment and the bells are also cut from the 12 x 12 pad along with the small holly pieces, I used foam pads to add a little dimension.

Two Turtle Doves

I'm sorry I haven't been around much recently, I have been suffering from some rather nasty headaches.  As some of you may know, I was diagnosed with Macular Degeneration a couple of years back and I think my eyesight is beginning to get worse, especially with the reduced light that Autumn is bringing and spending time looking at a screen is straining them.  I have decided to drastically reduce my screen time and so I will not be visiting everyone's blogs as much, I will still be making cards and posting on my blog but will just limit my time on social media and commenting - I hope you all understand if I don't visit you as much as usual.

This is another card that I have created with my recently purchased First Edition The Twelve Days of Christmas collection.

I have used three of the papers and a topper, this time I used cream card stock to layering everything on and fussy cut a couple of doves from one of the other topper sheets.

A Partridge in a Pear Tree

I have been a bit naughty and purchased a few new Christmas Paper pads, I created this simple card using the First Edition The Twelve Days of Christmas collection.

I have used four of the beautiful papers along with a fussy cut topper, I cut the banners with my Die-namics die and just layered everything on some bronze coloured card stock.

Christmas Magic

I've used the Watercolour Christmas collection by Sara Davies to create this side step card.

I used one of the papers and a topper from the 12 x 12 Paper Pad, I trimmed the topper down a little to make it fit my card better.   I used several of the die cut elements from the 12 x 12 paper pad, the little birds are from the 6 x 6 Paper Pad.

Sent with Love

I have another Christmas card to share today, I'm slowly building up my collection but I do need to get on and make quite a few more!

I have used the Watercolour Christmas collection by Sara Davies again, I do like the adorable images and pretty papers in this collection.  Another simple design, I'm trying to keep them reasonably flat for posting - everything is from the collection, I cut the fishtail flags with my Die-namics die and fussy cut the stars from one of the papers.

Mini Monday

I have a couple of Christmas Tags to share for Mini Monday today, I have used the Watercolour Christmas collection by Sara Davies.

They are both quite simple, I have used a couple of the 6 x 6 papers and some white card stock to create a little winter scene on the one above, the snowman, bucket of snowballs, and tree are from the die cut elements, I cut the tree in half so I still have half left for another tag or card.

I have created a little shaker on the one below, I used one of the small toppers from the 6 x 6 pad along with one of the papers.  I embellished my tag with some die cut snowflakes from the collection and some little die cut presents.
