Chill Out

Hi there, hope your enjoying  your Saturday! !
I've been creating some fun Wintery Tags!

Made with High Hopes Catching flakes found here!
High Hopes Chill Out found here!

We're getting close to the Snowy season in my neighbourhood.

I love snowstorms (providing I don't have to drive).

Snowy walks are my favorite and this gal is totally enjoying the snowfall :)

Haven't we all have done this before and maybe a snow angel or  two also?!!

I kept the colours really simply  in this design

 Blue and brown, that's it!

She's super sweet and those boots remind me of my favorite tan Cougar boots from the '80's do you remember them?

Stitches, snowflakes and white acrylic paint were added to the image. Copic markers numbers E30,E30,E35, BG70,

BG72,e40

Naughty List

I can't believe it's the first Thursday of November already! Have you started making your Christmas cards yet? 

I have some done but when I saw this sentiment I knew I had to have it to use on a card for one my brothers. This is the first one I have used it on....I think you may just see it on a few of my Christmas cards this year. <wink>

I have also used an older High Hopes Stamp called "Santa's List". 

A new month also means a new challenge and this month we also have a sketch to get your creative juices flowing. I have made this week's card using the sketch (below). 

After colouring Santa and his list with alcohol markers I added some Stickles to the fur on his coat, hat and mitts and then cut him out with a stitched square die. I stamped my sentiment and coloured the words with Spectrum Sparkle pens - they are glittery but it's hard to see in the photo.

I cut out my tag and added a die cut word notes - cause Santa does keep notes..or so I'm told......... 

All of these elements are added to patterned paper from Carta Bella. Some ribbon and sparkly gumdrops finish off my card.

High Hopes Stackable Santa

 

Wow It's November already, truly hard to believe. It will soon be crunch time to get all your crafty Christmas creations completed. 

I've been playing around with this cute little Santa from High Hopes.  You can snag this festive Santa & Sentiment found here!!!

 High Hopes Small Stackable Santa found here!

Naughty List High Hopes

Okay, are you wondering what this creation is?   It's a festive mason Jar filled with small gift tags.  I will be giving this to a friend, just for some Christmas fun!

The cap is decorated with a little winter scene using the super cool "Naughty List" Sentiment. Used some Christmas twine, bells and white acrylic paint for some Festive goodness. 

Here's the inside of the Jar, lots of Tags, pom pom's and bells too!

 And wait there's more LOL!!!! 

 My second creation is this Santa garland card made with the same Small stackable Santa from High Hopes.

I coloured and fussy cut a bunch of them and added some twine to create a garland. 

Added the number "25" as we all know its a pretty important day in the Month of December.

Thanks for peeking! 

Hope you play along in this months Challenge.  Catch all the details HERE!

Angel Star

Happy Sunday!

Today I'd like to share a Christmas Card with you (only 79 days till Christmas, but who's counting??)
For this card (6"by 6") I used the lovely Angel Star (S280) stamp. Nice to have a start on those Christmas cards, it seems I'm always running out of time on the end, haha.

As you can see, I've used this months sketch for my card, it is a great way to have a sketch as a guideline. It makes it so much easier I think!
