Wonderful Xmas

Hello my crafty friends! I have another Christmas card to share with you. This one was made last year and it has already arrived to its destination, but I haven't gotten the chance to show it here yet. 

I don't use digi stamps often, because 1.) my printer is almost always out of ink, 2.) no matter what I do my ink runs if I do the colouring with distress inks and 3.) if there is ink in my printer, I am often too lazy to print digis. I find it much easier and faster to just stamp an image on the paper. All that being said, this digi I used on the card I'm about to show you was just too cute not to be used. It's been sitting in the folder on my computer for quite a while, just waiting to be used. It took me a while to finally print it (see reason no. 3 above), but eventually I did it. Luckily more than once so I can use it again this year if I feel like it. :P

Anyways, here's my card...

The image is from Whimsy stamps and it was a freebie some time ago. I coloured it with pencils. 

Papers are from Folia and Docraft. I used several different dies on this card (from LLLC, LDRS...) and I spelled Xmas with glittery alphabet stickers. Those flowers/snowflakes around the image came with the same set as the alphabet stickers. To decorate the card I used some crystals.

So much from me today. Have a beautiful day! xx

Hello everybody. Do you also have the feeling that time is moving with the speed of light? I mean, we surely can't be in the middle of December already, can we?! O.o Wow! I honestly don't know where this year went. I have already mailed all of the international Christmas cards and gifts, I just have some that I need to send to my friends here. But these won't go to the mail for another week or so, since they only need one day to get to their destination. Have you mailed your cards yet?

Have you decorated the house and put up the Christmas tree yet? We did this over the weekend. It was so much fun! Aaaaand, because I was such a good girl this year (awww, I know lol) Santa has already dropped a gift for me under the tree. It's a sewing machine!!! I've been thinking about learning to sew for a while, and now I can finally practice. Well, almost. I am not allowed to touch the machine til Christmas. *sigh* So I will probably start practicing in the beginning of 2017. :)

Anyways ... back to paper crafts. Here's a Christmas card I made for my friend.

To make this card I used some scraps of paper from my stash and the super cute "bless" stamp from The Greeting Farm. Unfortunately I can't find this cutie in the store right now, but there are many other cute holiday stamps and sets that you can use for your holiday creations.

I coloured the image with Promarkers and pencils. On the wings and halo I also used diamond stickles.

We currently have a "Make it sparkle" challenge at The Greeting Farm blog and we would love for you to come play with us. 

So much from me today. Have a beautiful day! xx
