Snowy Christmas

Just popping on to share a card I made for one of my boys.

There is Mum, Dad and two boys so I used half

a snowman for each of the kids.

I used some wintery background paper from SU and added

some torn paper for the snow hills.

The snow people are from a Polkadoodles stamp and die set.

They have been coloured up with markers and

I stamped and coloured some parcels to set in front of the kids.

The snow has had some glamour dust sprinkled on

and I stamped the sentiment from

Itty Bitty Christmas (SU) and punched the layers out

using the double oval punch (SU).

Selection Pack!

As always I have made the kids some selection packs.

I think these are much better value than buying

the usual selection boxes.

For the boys I did a snowman theme using the Snowman

stamp set from Polkadoodles.

He has been die cut and coloured up using markers

then stuck to some red paper matted onto silver card.

Inside the packs I have included warm socks,

cocoa drinks, chocolate treats, candy cane and biscuits..

I also made one for a young niece who calls around

Christmas time.

I went with a Santa Claus for her from Do Crafts

coloured up with markers and matted the same as the others.

Snowman scene

I treated myself to some Polkadoodles stamps, dies and stencils recently

and they just arrived so had a quick play.

I made this one completely flat but will definitely

play around more next time. Just needed to get

a feel for them first.

I started by stencilling the background using the snowfall stencil

in balmy blue ink.

I then stamped the snowman, coloured him up with markers

and wink of stella and left him to one side.

Next I stamped some trees in the background using

an old stamp set from SU called Evergreen Elegance.

I then tore some paper for snowy edges and stuck in place.

The snowman was then stuck down along with his

santa hat. The stamp set has a nice variety of items to

change up the snowman and this is one big snowman!!

I finished with lots of more wink of stella which does not

show up in the photo at all, along with a sentiment.

I have another tag for the lovely Michele's theme

CATS

over at Tag Tuesday!

Not a great photo, I did mean to re take it but totally forgot.

The background has been embossed using a brick folder.

I then cut a rectangle for a window so he could perch there nicely

and watch the world go by.

I added some stencilled grass using a stencil from Polkadoodles.

The ball of wool, fish and sentiment are from a stamp set

from Tim Holtz.

I finished with a black bow.

Mermaid on the rocks!

My second tag for Michele's Mermaid theme at

TAG TUESDAY

is a digital one.

As I said last week I don't have a mermaid stamp at all so

had a hunt around in my digi stamps and found this one

from Polkadoodles when I was on their design team many years ago.

She was already coloured so I just needed to create a little scene for her.

The underwater bit is from PNG wing, the clouds are from Nitwits

as is the seagull.

I finished the tag with some knotted rope from Nitwits

and a navy background.
