Wednesday WOW... a really special... Spirited Snowmen... card...

to me ... from Hilda...

I have to share this beautiful card as well... a true Spirited Snowmen, Large Letters & Softly Falling embossing folder stunner... that  I feel so honoured to receive...

Got to love being a crafter amongst such talented friends at Christmas!!!

Though some bad news... Spirited Snowmen is on the Retiring List... so last chance to order...

Thank you again Hilda... absolutely fabulous!

And guess what... yes it is on my display... and yes... everyone has picked it up and oohed and aahed!!!

So cute...We all love it!  You should have never doubted that!

Cozy Cottage for Christmas - Part 2

Look familiar... but different... 

On this second card the Cozy Cottage ( or Chalet!) image is stamped onto the centre of the Home For Christmas paper panel, then the snowline cut by hand... along the line at the centre but free-style at the edges! The paper is then stuck to the white card panel and the greeting stamped...

The roof and the snow on the trees are coloured in using a white Signo gel pen... the windows with a Hello Honey marker pen...

Then it is all finished off with a light dusting of Fine-Tip glue plus Dazzling Diamonds... to the snow line, the roof, the windows and the trees... and it is interesting to note that the glitter on the trees remains so much whiter and brighter on this card than the next ones... must be something to do with the mix of white gel pen, Fine Tip and glitter...

Now what do you think? Better with or without??? The house prop that is....

Cozy Cottage for Christmas Trio Part 1

Moving onto the Cozy Christmas stamp set & Home For Christmas that we used this week in classes... here is the first card of a trio... I LOVE this simple little trio...you have been warned...

Some lovely quick and easy cards as most people were doing the Advent Calendar (see here and here) and the Christmas Shadow Box Frame (yet to be shared) - so these were mainly for my speedy girls - or those just doing the Advent Calendars...

Starting off simple as simple......

Loving this image... reminds me of many a ski holiday spent in many a chalet in the French and Swiss Alps!

Loving keeping it SO simple... 

The windows are just coloured with a Hello Honey marker pen...

Then it is all finished off with a light dusting of Fine-Tip glue plus Dazzling Diamonds... to the snow line, the roof, the windows and the trees...

Now what do you think? Better with or without my house prop in the photo to give you more of an idea of scale... but maybe a bit house-over-powering??? This is just a small 10.5cm (about 4 1/8") Square card... so you can get the idea!! 

The house is about 8" tall... and ... if not favoured for photos... it may be whisked away for a bit of altering.....! Waste not want not... Mmmmm....
