Christmas Card Challenge # 26 - Candy Canes.

Welcome to a new Christmas Card Challenge!

 

This week we have a super sweet theme for you:

 

 

Candy Canes!

 

This is my take: 

 

I've chosed these super-cute koala digi stamps from Dearie Dolls which I colored with Copics and glitter. I went for tags this week (I printed them too small to use them on a card...).

 

As usual, I invite you to have a look at my teamies creations which you'll find here on the blog as usual.

 

Sadly, this is our last challenge.

 

I've created one card each week since June 2013 and I'll surely miss my Sunday posts. 

 

I'd like to thank all those who commented and appreciated my cards, those who entered our challenges and also thank you teamies! It's been great working with you all!



Christmas Card Challenge # 13 - Wreath.

Happy Sunday!

Welcome to a new Christmas Card Challenge!

 

We have a word prompt for you this week wreath!

 

 

These are my tags:

 

I found this JOY stamp with wreath in my stash and I was happy to use it trying something new.

I stamped it on a kraft tag with black ink and then colored the wreath using some glittered pens I've had for ages! I love the simple rustic look!

 

My teamies have made great cards for you this week: have a look here and be inspired!



Christmas Card Challenge # 9 - Mittens.

Welcome to a new Christmas Card Challenge!

 

It's a bright sunny morning here but we have to talk about Christmas!

 

The theme this week is: Mittens!

 

 

I made these:

 

These mittens were part of a garland but I thought they would have been perfect for papercrafts projects and this is the first one.

I love mittens and these are so cute!

 

A very quick and simple make which will add a special touch to gifts... I think I'll make more!

 

If you lack inspiration, have a look here at my teamies' creations, you'll surely be inspired!



Christmas Card Challenge # 48 - Glitter.

It's Sunday again and this means a new Christmas Card Challenge!

 

We have a word prompt for you: Glitter!

 

 

I made a mini card/tag with a lovely glittery elf!

 

The base card was actually a pice of a larger card which I had cut to fit an envelope so this leftover was perfect for this cute little elf from AtelierOz. I colored him with Copics and added lots of glitter in his hat!

 

If you want more glitter, have a look here in our challenge blog!

Time for our monthly Color Challenge here at Christmas Card Challenges!

 

 

This week I decided to make a big tag:

 

The image was an old Pink Petticoat one which I printed on cardstock and colored with Copics.

 

I then chose a striped metallic paper from First Edition and mounted everything on a silver tag from my stash.

How cute is this little cat with its stocking!?

CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra - Mid-Month Inspiration.

Here I am to give you some more inspiration for CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra for June!

 

Again this month, I opted for tags:

 

 

I chose this adorable Santa Candy Cane from Bugaboo Stamps and mounted them on pre-decorated tags. I matched the gold stars with glittery tape and satin ribbon.

Although I'm not a fan of gold, I think these colors match well together.

We have to talk about Christmas today, about our CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra for June!

 

This is my project:

 

 

You know how I love making tags and these are among my favourite so far!

 

I used the super cute Mrs. Clause from our lovely sponsor Bugaboo Stamps and positioned her on pre-printed tags I found in a shop which I decorated with green ribbon, heart-shaped rhinestones, baker's twine and a little bell.

 

I made only a set of five but I should make more, I really enjoyed making them!

For a baby girl:

I've had some time recenlty to make some new tags to be added to homemade cookies or cakes.

I made a few sets to give my sister for Christmas along with a mixer and it was time to make some for my shop:

 

 

Since I couldn't decide if it was better in green or in red, I made a red set too:

 

Which one is best?

And this time there's the Italian version too!

The graphic is from Winchester Lambourne, isn't it gorgeous?

This week it's particularly funny:

 

 

Santa nails! Aren't they Amazing? I'm too lazy to paint my nails but I'd like to wear these for Christmas!!!

 

Inspired by Santa's suit, I made these tags:

After a long warm fall, we are now freezing so it's been easy to create my project this week:

 

 

She is one of the cuties from Whoopsi Daisy which I colored with my Copics matching the tag.

I think it's time for me to start using my winter hats...

Moustaches.

I've recently discovered a passion for everything moustache: they are a trend and I must confess I LOVE them!

And I LOVE making tags so I've made some moustache tags!

 

This summer I made my first tags with a moustache stamp I bought in a shop here in my town:

 

 

The other day, I created some more with a graphic I bought on Esty from FishScraps:

 

I then added my new lovely silver cardstock as background.

Of course, I'm also a fan of Keep Calm...
