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!



Bee Strong!

Good afternoon!

 

I'm here today to show you a new card:

 

 

I received this super strong Bee as I entered Gerda Steiner February Challenge.

Every month I find myself anxiuosly waiting for the new image coming in my inbox, I LOVE them all!

Spring is in the air so it was a pleasure to work with these bright happy colors!

 

Background papers are from Echo Park and American Crafts, I then added the bee colored with Copics and some tiny yellow pearls.

 

I LOVE it!

In detail:

 

This is my take:

 

This little mouse was from DigiDoodle and I chose it becuase of the wrapping paper around the box which fits the theme perfectly.

 

I colored it with Copics and used a paper from First Edition as background.

 

Isn't it sweet?

CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge extra for March.

March already? Time really flies, even if this winter has been far too long!

 

We are ready for a new CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra and this is my card:

 

 

I chose a super-cute troll from Bugaboo stamps and background papers from Doodlebug.

I wanted to make a bright and happy card, so I added rhinestones and two big pearls as earrings!

Christmas Card Challenge # 7 - Color.

Welcome to a new Christmas Card Challenge!

 

It's a very sunny day here and I hope it means spring is coming soon!

 

But we have a Christmas Challenge to talk about and it's a very wintry one!

 

 

Colors!

 

While making the card colors seemed to me more light browns than greys, that's why I made this card:

 

I then looked at some of my teamies cards and noticed they used greys... so I'm sorry if it does not match (but I still see creams and light browns...).

 

Anyway, I chose these cute birds from Doodle Pantry and a background paper from First Edition.

They are so sweet!

 

Have a look here to see the (grey) cards of my teamies and last week's winner and Top 3.

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

Good morning and welcome to our mid-month post for CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra!

 

I have a new card to show you:

 

 

I chose and old stamp from our sponsor Bugaboo Stamps and colored it with Copics and glitter.

I found a piece of patterned paper in my stash (sorry, I don't remember the brand) and positioned it behind the gingerbread.

 

A quick and easy make for a super-sweet card!

 

Have a look here if you need more inspiration!



Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

 

I've kept a card to show you today to celebrate Valentine's Day:

 

 

This adorable little pig is Piggy from Gerda Steiner Designs.

I received it as I took part in their January Challenge (but it's available in the shop in case you are interested).

I decided to make a small card with pinks and reds (background paper is from Doodlebug) and a big heart behind this cute little pig.

 

Hope you have a lovely day!
