Hoping for a White Christmas!

Happy Saturday! Today I am sharing a card I made on Thursday, my super productive day of the week so far! I'm at work today for 12 hours so I probably won't get any cards made today & I have a ton of college work to do on Sunday as it's back to work on Monday :( one thing keeping me going is a weeks holiday is fast approaching. I'll be doing DIY for the most of it but at least I'm not at work LOL!


Kristina Werner inspired me to make this card with day 2 of her Holiday Series Cards. I really liked the LO & instantly thought of this set of stamps. I coloured the letters in with a Copic (Frosted Blue) then I added some more Stickles! As my friend Kerry put it I'm getting a lil 'Stickletastic'! I think it adds a lovely lil bit of bling thats not too over powering!

The snowman's face is mounted onto a foam pad for depth & coloured using SU! Markers I had to reach!

{Ingredients}
CS: PTI: Kraft, Spring Rain, SU! Whisper White
Stamps: SU! Big on Christmas
Ink: Memento Black
Accessories: Copic Frosted Blue, Stickles Star Dust, Hero Arts Felt Snowflake, Glitter Gems, Foam Pads, PTI DP, Friskars Apron Lace Punch, white gel pen.

Oooooooh ...... I feel all Christmasy! Thanks for stopping by!

A Hero Arts Unexpected & Caardvarks Circle Card!

It's me again! Second post today ... I wonder how long this will last! LOL! Anyway, back to the point! This is another card from my productive day yesterday! I decided to incorporate Hero Arts Unexpected Colour Challenge with the New Caardvarks Circle Challenge.


I don't tend to make many circle cards but I really did enjoy making it so I may just have to make another! The colours Leslie Lightfoot had chosen on Wednesday and I guess all of the days I found a real challenge, but I gave this one a bash!

I created a very simple background paper in Photoshop using HA Merry Holiday Boarders Digital Kit. The ornaments are stamped and cut out & mounted onto the card. The Merry Ornament is up on foam pads. I added some bling a ding & there you have it!

{Ingredients}
CS: PTI Enchanted Evening, SU! Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White
Ink: SU! Summer Sun, Garden Green, Not quite Navy & Ruby Red
Stamps: Hero Arts Merry Ornament C4208, Cheer Ornament D4214, PTI Signature Christmas, SU! Tree Trimmings
Accessories: Hero Arts Digital Kit Merry Holiday Boarders, Gems, Nesties, Foam Pads

Oh well, it's back to work tomorrow :( but we will have plenty to talk about as I'm off out tonight for a work charity night. The guys at work are doing a Full Monty for a local Baby Hospice 'Zoe's Place'. It's gonna be a laugh for a good cause & I can't wait! More Christmas cards tomorrow to share.

Bye for now & thanks for stopping by! Comments are always appreciated!
