Mistletoe Kisses - Christmas card club card



Hi there all, its time for another card for the Christmas card gang !!! This time our challenge was set by Sylvie. She challenged us to make a card with mistletoe on !! Mmm ...... I searched through my things and didn't find much so I chose this forever Friends image. Great challenge thanks Sylvie, now my craft room needs a tidy to put back all my things for looking for something with mistletoe on !!! hehe !!!

Of course I got the glitter out and glittered up the hat, and tree and star !!! Blinged the snowflakes (Martha Stewart punches) and used a tag stamp from I think Whimsey Stamps !

Our next challenge is set by Margaret to use only white and some glitter .............. yikes I have no idea !!! NEVER made an all white card before so it sure is going to be a challenge !!! Go check out the other ladies great cards they are on my sidebar !!! If anyone fancies joining our group of gals then email anyone of us !!

Dressing the tree !!


Oohhhhhh I just couldn't resist this House Mouse stamp !!!! She is so sweet dressing the 'tree' .

I decided to make this a very plain and simple card so the gorgeous picture was prominent. Of course I had to add some bling and glitter tho !!!

Its Christmas !!!!!!!!!!!!


Hi there everyone !!! This week at Crafts for Eternity the challenge is to show us your Christmas projects !!! This is my Christmas card for my best friend, I know she doesn't look on here so I am ok listing it !!!! hehe !!!


I used a House Mouse Stamp, coloured using water colour pencils and glittered up !!! Papers are from Nitwits and the sentiment I downloaded of the internet !! I am so not good at writing verses ! As its such a large verse I thought an easel card would be more fitting ! And of course I had to add some bling too !!!! Border punch is a Martha Stewart one as are the leaves !! I hope my friend likes it !

Its fabby !!! I finally got to play with it yesterday as I got the cards I needed to make out the way so I could play !!!! I just LOVE Tatty Teddy he is sooooooooooooo cute !!!

I printed the image to fit my card and papers to match, got my beloved cricut machine out for the Thinking of you sentiment (from Sentmentals cartridge) and used some K&Co glittered flowers that matched the colours I had chosen !!

Xmas card club challenge card - Kerry's !!



Well I had to think on this one I have to say ............. then I went shopping !!! hehe !!! Well I had to go shopping to soothe quell my patience for a Tatty teddy CD!!!! Ooohhhh can't wait to get hold of one !!! But in the meantime I settled for the new Fizzy Moon Festive Fun stamps !!! LOVING them !!! Kerry's challenge was for a robin, holly and possibly a postbox if desired ! So I have a robin sat on the fence and holly on the paper and around the flowers !!! No postbox desired tho sorry !!!


I coloured Fizzy Moon with promarkers and water colour pencils. The bears used Satin, Sandstone and the blender pen to create the lighter patches. Of course I had to glitter up the snow too !!!

I used my new Spellbinder square die, the swirl is from Marianne dies, holly is a Martha Stewart punch and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts also glittered up!! Paper is Holiday Magic from Nitwits and the sentiment stamp from Liliy of the Valley !! Phew ................. Oh yes I had to add bling too !!!!

So enjoyed making this !!! Please go check out the other ladies blogs they are listed on my side bar !!! Have a great day !
