Snow season!

Our new theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

has been chosen by Valerie and she wants to see

SNOW!

Hopefully only on our tags lol.

I decided to go with a shaker tag today.

The background has been stamped with the snow stamp

from the Penguin Place stamp set (still available in clearance).

I used a postage stamp punch to create the window,

and it has been filled with silver/white micro beads.

I added the little penguin who has been punched and stamped

and finished with a sentiment, snowflake and some twine.

I hope you get to join us this fortnight.

Christmas on the farm!

It's the second week of Michele's theme

Farm Animals

over at

TAG TUESDAY.

I have gone with a donkey, very appropriate animal for Christmas

I am sure!

I stamped some Christmas words in the background along

with the Christmas star.

Then I inked it up.

The donkey was stamped, coloured and cut and put in place

and I then made a faux fence to keep him safe lol.

It's like he is peeping into the nativity scene.

Sparkling Snowflakes!

Our December challenge has started over at

STAMPING SENSATIONS

and this month the theme is

anything stamped with option favourite colours.

We have two lovely prizes up for grabs so be sure and get your entries in.

For my card, it was a toss up between pink or blue so I went with both😂

I used a stamp set called Sparkling Snowflakes

and my colours are called bubble bath and tahitian tide.

I randomly stamped various sizes of snowflakes in both colours

over the base layer of my card.

Some snowflakes were double stamped in light and dark versions of the ink

which gives a lovely shadowy effect.

I then went in with my 2 way glue pen and added spots of glue here and there.

Then I got messy and added my gold and silver flakes, rubbing

it into the glue spots for some added sparkle.

The sentiment square was die cut with a snowflake stamped in

bubble bath and the sentiment in tahitian tide.

I added a piece of vellum underneath with torn edges.

I wrapped a ribbon around the base, added the sentiment

and finished with a bow in bubble bath colours.

I hope you get time to join us this busy month of December.

Bright and cheerful!

I had a December birthday card to make for a family member

so decided to have a little fun and make my own background

using a set of stamps I never thought of trying this technique with.

Nice little change from all the Christmas madness!!

Can't believe it's the 1st of December already.

I have a video showing the process which you can watch
