White on White Snowflakes

 It's the 15th so it's time for a new Sparkles Monthly Challenge

 the theme this month is

 'white on white (with 1 other colour for a sentiment if you want)'

quite nice to do but not so good for showing up in photos

here is my take

it is a shaker card

inside the window I stamped and heat embossed various Christmas greetings

the shaker pieces are snowflakes punched from card covered with washi tape

here is a close up
 

the  outside is embossed

Yappy Christmas

 Hello fellow crafters

 I have made another Christmas card with dogs this time

The frame was die cut 

 I used stamps from the 'puppy tree' mama elephant set.  I stamped the two seperate dogs and the top of the 'tree' in the top three boxes and the bottom layer of the 'tree' in the lower rectangle box.  I tried to mask out the dogs I didn't need but it didn't work too well although I think I got away with it (a die cut holly helped and there is still a floating scarf which I coloured in anyway)

The sentiment is from the same set and is heat embossed

The patterned paper was in a set that was a prize from 'crimbo crackers'

Snowmen Gift Tags

 Today is a Cardz 4 Galz day

the theme is

'it's snowman time'

here is my take

I have made gift tags for a change

The snowmen are die cut and finished with nuvo drops

I die cut 4 tag shapes and cut a rectangle from one and embossed with snow

All were assembled and bakers twine bows were added plus a sentiment and I left space for the recipients name to be added

so have a look at Cardz 4 Galz

 make your own card (or gift tag) including snowmen and enter it

see you there

Pizza

 Hi all

 I'm a bit fed up with Christmas cards so I used my pizza stamps to make a fun card

 The background is washi tape and stamped rocket leaves

I stamped and coloured the pizzas and created the sentiment from a die cutter

Could be a man card but I think you could use it for girls aswell

Birthday Chicks

Hi fellow crafters

It's the 15th, that means another Sparkles Monthly challenge

the theme this month is

'use a stencil'

here is my take

I used the stencil with yellow and purple ink without any idea what I was going to do with it but die cut it into a square with a rectangle in the center

It was glued onto purple card and the chicks were stamped and die cut from my practice piece and arranged.  Their hats were coloured with 3d pearl effects

The sentiment was stamped first in white then in purple so it would stand out

Then I realised that I should have embossed the background first as it was definetly missing something, so instead I used the stencil and dotted bits of the design around in the gaps I also added sparkle pen although it doesn't show in the photo

so head over to Sparkles Monthly Challenges and enter your own stencilled card

see you there
