CraftyHazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge for May.

Hello!

 

I really don't know where April has gone... It's a month I like very much and I'm always sad when it's over!

 

Anyway, the first of the month means only one thing: CraftyHazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge!

 

This is my card for May:

 

 

I chose this super cute Astronaut boy from Bugaboo Digi Stamps, colored him with Copics and used a sky-themed paper from an Italian brand as background.

CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra for November.

Good morning!

 

Welcome to our CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra!

 

My card for today has a super-cute dog on it:

 

 

I chose Winter Puppy Dog from our sponsor Bugaboo Stamps.

 

The background paper is actually a birthday paper from a local shop but I thought it had perfect colors for a Christmas card, especially if paired with this gorgeous glittered cardstock from DCWV.

A few more crystal stars around added a special touch.

 

As usual I suggest that you have a look at all the lovely creations from the team! You can find tons of inspiration here on the blog.

Can't wait to see what you create!

 

 



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

I'm sooo late today with my mid-month post for CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra!

 

Anyways... here's my card:

 

 

I chose Snowman Set 2 from our super-sponsor Bugaboo Stamps, colored it with Copics and mounted it on papers from Echo Park and Cartabella.

 

I'm in love with this snowman, it's so sweet while hugging the little chick!

 

Have a look here to see all the other cards from the DT, you'll surely be inspired!



CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra for October.

Welcome to a new CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra for October!

 

A couple of months and we'll be surrounded by decorations and Christmas songs... I LOVE Christmas but I'm not ready for winter yet...

 

Anyways, here's my card for this month:

 

 

I chose Shopping Girls digi stamp from our sponsor Bugaboo Stamps with the idea to turn these girls into friends doing their Christmas shopping.

The background paper (from Toga) is a Christmas one but unfortunately the gingerbreads are all covered by either the image or the sentiment so it doesn't seem too Christmas-sy...

I loved the colors I chose so I decided to keep the paper and finish the card.

 

Have a look here on the blog to see the other cards made by the DT.

 

Can't wait to see what you create!

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

Hello!

September 15 for us means one thing: school.

In my hometown today is the day when everything comes back to its routine even if my daughter is starting a new school and everything will be different.

 

Anyway, it's time for some fresh inspiration for CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra.

 

This is my card:

 

 

As usual, I chose a super-sweet image from our sponsor Bugaboo Stamps.

It's called Bobblehead Elf and it seems it's not yet in the new shop as I'm writing this.

 

I chose papers from Doodlebug and some pearls and buttons. The little holly stamp and the sentiment are from MFT.

 

Have a look here on the blog to see the wonderful creations from our DT!

CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge extra for July - Mid-Month Inspiration.

Welcome to our mid-month inspiration post for our CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra!

 

It's a bit difficult to concentrate on winter and Christmas cards in this wonderfully hot summer, so this time I opted for unusual pastel colors and short sleeves for my card:

 

 

The image is Baby Couple from our sponsor Bugaboo Stamps.

It wasn't a Christmas digi but I thought it was perfect to celebrate a baby's first Christmas adding some pastel-colored papers (First Editions) and some touches of red here and there.

 

Have a look at my teamies' cards: you can see them all here!

CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra for April - Mid-Month Post.

Spring is in full bloom and I think we all need a bit more inspiration in order to be able to make Christmas cards!

 

Here at CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra we are used to give you some mid-month inspiration and this is mine:

 

 

I chose Season's Greetings Feet from our sponsor Bugaboo Stamps (they have a brand new shop, have you already checked it out?) colored with Copics.

I printed a quite big version of the stamp so I only needed a long card base and some striped paper to make my card!

 

My teamies have created very inspiring cards, have a look here to see them all!

 

Happy Easter my dear readers!



CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra for April.

April!

One of my favourite months! Not only beacuse it's spring, because it's warmer and beacuse it passes by quite quickly with lots of holidays but because my birthday is in April!

 

That said, let's go back to Christmas and to our CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra!

 

This is my card:

 

 

I chose DeDe Christmas Drink from our sponsor Bugaboo Stamps (sorry, they are moving the shop and it seemes that this digi has not yet been listed).

Background paper is from my stash so I don't remember the brand.

 Christmas seems so far away but I love to make so many cards through the year!
