Stash busting Christmas cards

Hello there Scrappers!

If you are anything like me, you have a rather large stash of older products, of collections that are mostly used but there's still bits and pieces left - and you can't throw anything away - ever! Because you never know when it will come in handy!

So, I decided to make some Christmas cards with what I have on hand. Preferably not Christmas ranges - there's nothing like challenge, right?!

First up, I saw my sheet of Pebbles – DIY Home Collection – Washi Tape Paper ... this was perfect for a washi background!

THIS PAPER from the Pebbles DIY Home collection even featured a deer head that I cut out with a paper punch :)

For my second card, I used some journal cards from My Mind’s Eye – On Trend 2 Collection – Journal Cards. Using journal cards is one of my favourite things to do on cards - it makes creating easy!

I added some Heidi Shine on the background for some shimmer :)

Do you make Christmas cards? Do you use non-Christmas ranges?

Happy creating :)

Nov sketch at SC

😊 Hello there Scrappers!

I hope you are all enjoying the challenges at Scrapping Clearly this month - and maybe you found time to play along with our Birthday challenges too?

Here is the November sketch:

I was instantly inspired by the sunburst background and knew I had the perfect The Crafter's Workshop stencil which I used with some mist ...

You'll notice I did mirror the sketch to suit my photo, plus I added a few more layers here and there for added interest. I've loved playing with the Cocoa Vanilla You Rock collection - it's perfect for pets, too!

I've added some sparkle with the Heidi Swapp Glitter Stickers Navy – Epic ... I just love these! Lots of layers with the chipboard and veneer, along with the paper ephemera ...
