So we’re now in the third month of this year and I feel it’s time to start making a dent in my required Christmas cards. I am starting out with good intentions this year and starting early! As soon as I saw the Avery Elle Santa Jaws set I knew I had to get it! I have relatives who are…
Not many sleeps ’til Santa now! I have another festive card for you today and the last in my Scene Colouring series on the Heffy Doodle blog. This time, I coloured up some playful penguins in a snowy scene. One was halfway through building a snowman until he saw a friend who couldn’t reach the post box. What could he…
I’m back with the next card in my Scene Colouring series. I’m definitely in the Christmas mood and this card is inspired by one of the all-time great Christmas songs: When Santa Got Stuck Up the Chimney! Plus, it uses a non-Christmas stamp set – Teacher’s Pet – to get the most out of your stash! This one needed a…
I have a festive ‘Jingle All the Way’ scene card over on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today, featuring the MFT ‘Tis the Season stamp set and some no-line Copic colouring. I started out by stamping the Santa holding his sack of goodies onto some blending cardstock using some Lawn Fawn Jellyfish ink. This combo is perfect for no-line alcohol…
I’m over on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today with another festive card, this time featuring the MFT Joyous Holidays and ‘Tis the Season stamp sets. When you’re looking to make many cards but still keep that quality look, the simpler the scene the better! I stamped out the Santa, tree and reindeer image using some Lawn Fawn Jellyfish ink…
I’m joining in the blog hop day with the rest of the Heffy Doodle team! Come and hop along for some inspiration and prizes! Start over at the 25 Days of Christmas Tags blog. I made some matching tags for my featured Christmas Cards this year using the tag from the Mini Essentials Die set along with a bunch of…
It’s rapidly approaching that time of year when I start to get a bit anxious over having enough Christmas cards to send out come December. Every year I say I will start early and make at least one a month all year round, but I never manage to achieve that aim! This is my fifth card of the year and…
Hello! I’m back on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today with another Christmas in July card. This card features the Sugar Pea Designs Gnome for Christmas stamp set and the Mama Elephant Scene Builder stamp set. This card, along with my card from a couple of weeks ago, ensures I am getting an early start to making Christmas cards so…
Happy New Year to you all! I hope you managed to have a good break. The run up to Christmas was super busy for me and crafting had to take a little bit of a back seat for a while. I didn’t get a chance to share this non-traditional Christmas card I gave to my Postie (partly in apology for…
Hello, I’m on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today with some more Christmas inspiration. It’s an MFT week for me and at first I thought I was going to have to bin these backgrounds before they ever made it to a card base. Sometimes, you just have to keep going and it turns out okay in the end! I used…
I say this every time Mama Elephant come out with one of these sets, but I love the new Penguin’s Waddle stamp set. They are so great for practicing your colouring and you have a scene card created without much effort. I’m sharing this festive themed card over on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today! I started out with the…
I’m on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today with this one layer winter scene featuring the Snow Friends stamp set from Mama Elephant’s latest release. I have really been into creating one layer scenes recently so I wanted to keep the design simple so the colouring would stand out. I started out by planning out my scene so I knew…
