A chubby snowman card

Good evening crafty people, how is your Monday going?  Its been so cold the last few days but apparently its going to get much colder next week.... I'm hoping it will snow woohoo!

I made this card last night for a couple of challenges:

silhouette challenge blog~use a christmas shape: echo park snowman & snowflake
pixies crafty workshop~snippets used: blue paper, green card & cream card
crafty hazelnuts christmas challenge

I loved the echo park snowman and thought he would be really sweet to use on my card, I also die cut a snowflake and placed some ribbon and a button over the top. I used papermania Christmas stamps and hand stitched around the card. The Christmas tree was made with leftover embossed card which I added some buttons too.

 

Well that's another Christmas card done, I thought I was doing really well but when I went to see how many cards I made there was far less than I first thought...what's that about? I must of dreamt that I made much more or I have finally gone round the bend ha ha :)

 

Thank you so much for stopping by I hope you have a great week!!

Happy owls christmas card

Hello lovelies I hope your week is going well, we have a big storm brewing in the UK right now... I hope you all keep safe wherever you may be. 

Here's another christmas card I made today I used my unity owl stamps for this one. They are so sweet and really you can use them for nearly every occasion, which comes in super handy! I used my flex markers to colour them and as usual hand stitched around the card and finished the card off with a threaded button.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenge:

Santa baby

Hello crafty loves I hope your all good! How are you all getting on with your Christmas shopping? Not too long to go now :) I can't believe how quick this year has gone, its crazy!

I bought some papermania stamps recently and I just loved this huge Santa! He's just adorable and as he's so big he could be used for a tag too.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

simon says stamp challenge-anything goes
albc challenge-christmas cheer
 

I used my cameo to cut the ripped notecard and stamped my Christmas greeting onto it, and as usual I hand stitched the paper too as I'm haunted now by my sewing machine.... I just can't get the bleeding thing to do what it's supposed to but one day I will try again... Ha ha!! I found some cosmo cricket ribbons and thought they would go with the card and I then I stamped and coloured in Santa. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today I hope your all enjoying the build up to Christmas!

the shabby tea room week 194-christmas is coming

Okay I said I was getting a bit obsessed with the polkadot embossing folder and here is more proof he he. I hand stitched around the edges of the card front and added some twine and buttons. I did try getting out my mini sewing machine again but I'm afraid to say we have not yet bonded so much so she tore my card apart.....god I'm rubbish with a sewing machine and I bent the needle again but at least it didn't snap like last time! I think that's one item I won't be getting out for a long time :) 

Anyway I hope your week goes well and thank you so much for stopping by.
