Happy ho ho holidays

Hey hey! Oh my goodness, it's the last day of November. Can you believe it? Holidays are just around the corner. I can't wait to start putting up my Christmas decorations - I usually do it at the beginning of December. When do you start decorating? Have you made all your Christmas cards yet? I'm pretty close. Just need a few more. And I've done most of my Christmas shopping already as well. Once for a change I seem to be on top of things. lol

Here's one of the CAS Christmas cards I made.

I really like the Ho ho holidays stamp set from The Greeting Farm. I used different stamps from the set to create this scene. 

I did the colouring with Promarkers and pencils. I didn't use any desing papers and I only used some sequins to embellish the card.

So much from me today. See you again tomorrow. xx

Christmas card in fall colours

Good morning my crafty friends! How are you doing? Did you have a nice Halloween? We didn't do anything special, we barely even decorated the apartment. My hubby wanted to carve a pumpkin, but the pumpkin he bought was reeeeeeeally hard so it was nearly impossible to carve anything into it. Next year we'll be better prepared. ;) We did visit some friends in the afternoon though and we had a lovely time. 

Since it's the first of the month, this means it's time for a new challenge at the TGF blog. This month we would like to see autumn colours on your creations - along with any TGF stamp of course. I decided to make a Christmas card in fall colours (red, gold, brown and green).

I used the fun little elves from the Ho ho holidays stamp set and coloured them with Promarkers and pencils. On the white parts of the hats I used Liquid applique for the puffy look. I decorated the card with some crystals, doily and ribbon.

I hope you will come play with us this month. Have a wonderful day! xx

Elf Christmas

Hello everybody! How's it going? Are you enjoying summer? I am. :) Luckily this year the temperatures are normal (most of the time), so it's not too bad. Can you believe we are nearly at the middle of August already? Where does the time go?! Before I know it December will be knocking on the door. So I thought I better start working on my Christmas cards, otherwise I might have a "problem" when December comes. Have you made any Christmas cards this year yet?

At The Greeting Farm they released a couple of very cute Christmas stamp sets last month and I used 2 of those on my today's card.

Aren't these little elves adorable? They come with Ho ho holidays stamp set and the sentiment is from the Pop up Xmas set. I coloured the images with Promarkers and pencils and I used Liquid applique on the white parts of the hats. I cut the images out and raised them on foam pads to give the card some dimension.

I decorated the card with some lace, pom pom trim, crystals, glittery dots, tiny pearls and star shaped sequins.

So much from me today. Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day! xx

I decided to use Let's mingle set and Ho ho holidays set on my card.

I did the colouring with Promarkers and pencils. I wanted to keep the card simple, so I just used a couple of sequins to embellish it.

The Greeting Farm July release - day 3

Good morning my crafty friends! I'm back with more cuteness from The Greeting Farm. We are at our third day of previews and today we are showcasing the Ho ho holidays set. It's another "must have" set, I'm telling you. ;) As all the other sets this one comes with matching dies as well. 

I used the adorable Santa and the sentiment stamp from the set. Doesn't this Santa look so happy, fun and cheerful? I just wanna give him a hug. I coloured the image with Promarkers and pencils and I used liquid applique on the white parts of Santa's hat and dress.

So, this is it for today. See you again tomorrow for the new day of previews. xx
