Christmas Bear
Good Morning fellow crafters
I am continuing with Christmas cards, and this one I made with a Spellbinders die set that I won last year in Rudolph days (thank you so much)
I raided my scrap drawer to find some pieces that I could use, highlighted parts of the bear with DI vintage photo and added KindyGlitz to the snowflakes, snow hills and the trees

Live every moment
Welcome
I almost forgot that I wanted to enter the Allsorts challenge with this card.
I am not sure where I got this background from, as it was in my box of 'ready to use' pieces.
The stamps I think are indigo blu and I used a pretty piece of lace across the middle

Surfing Santa
Welcome
Nothing for a month, then 2 in a row!
I have an excuse though, I have had a couple of hospital stays, but no pacemaker required yet, although could happen in the future
I used a lot of scraps from my scrap folder to cut out this surfing Santa, and will be sending it to my Aussie grandsons who are keen surfers. All cut out on my Sillhouette Cameo

80th birthday
Hello and welcome
I don't usually make 8x8 cards, but was asked for a big size so that the choir members could sign it. It was for the choir leader who is also fond of reading, so I used both suggestions to make the card. The pile of books is 3d layered so that it stands off the page. 80 was cut with my Cameo Silhouette, and the word was stamped and embossed with bright gold EP

A 40th birthday card for the daughter os one of my work colleagues.
I cut the base card and also the DP on my Cameo and sponged the edges for a bit more dimension. The message is actually gold mirror card, but it does not scan well.

Merry shaker
Welcome crafty friends, I have been missing again for a while but wanted to show this card.
It is quite some time since I have made a shaker, but I saw this design by Christine Werner, and altered it a bit. The green background was made using two different Memento inks to create an ombre look. The Merry was cut with my Cameo Silhouette and I also added a stencilled part of a snowflake in the corner, and the sparkly Christmas word.

Cats and Mouse
Hi everyone
I wanted to use the sketch from MFT for this cat card, and decided to use the colours from their colour challenge also
I cut strips for the background but the metallic card I used for the teal colour has come out more of a dark green!
I diecut some stitched circles and stamped the cats from a set by Magengo designs. The background is coloured with "Thiscolor" pale pink, and the cats and mouse are coloured with "Promarker" silver lining

Butterfly
Hi everyone. I hope you are all keeping well
I saw a card made with this die some time ago on a CAS facebook group, and when I saw it come up on a local selling site, I just had to have it
I cut it from a piece of patterned card, which I added a bit more colour to with a copic marker. I also ran the top wings through a textured embossing folder, and touched it up here and there with some gold paint. The honeycome die cut is from a Sizzix set by Tim Holtz. To finish off I added a gold peeloff from my vast collection

Scrap time!
Hi everyone.
After watching a video from Natasha Foote (a fellow kiwi), I thought I would have a go!
I sponged the edges of the base card with distress ink (dusty concord) before adding my top layer
The stamp is by Woodware

Hello again, second post today
I have used one of my 'experiment' backgrounds, made with Brushos on a heavy watercolour card.
The stamp is 'constellation' by Penny Black, embossed in white detail EP and highlighted with a white Sharpie paint pen.
A gold thread is wound around, sentiment layered on mounting tape, and all adhered to an orange toning card base
