Chloe with Reindeer

Quick Edit: Mr Blogger has been naughty and didn’t post this Morning when he should have!

Morning All. I’ve been a little unwell again recently so haven’t really been into the craft room. I have mainly been resting up and catching up on some TV programmes…I’m enjoying ‘Cilla’ at the moment but I’ve quite a few other series on the Tivo box ready to watch!

Here is a recent Christmas make using Chloe with Reindeer:  

Another quick simple card for my Christmas stash.

Christmas Eve Chloe

Morning All. Hope everyone is well?

I’m sharing a card over on the Gems of Inspiration blog today and my card making is  definitely in full swing Christmas mode. This is a very flat (ideal for posting) Christmas card using Christmas Eve Chloe:

This card uses one of my favourite colour combinations of red and turquoise.

Not sure about you but I have a kind of tier system when it comes to my Christmas card making. Heavily embellished and cards I put a lot of time and love into go to close family and loved ones (that I can hand deliver to), simple coloured cards (like the above) go to special friends and relatives that I mail to and lastly for everyone else I make some simple, quick stamped cards.

Alicia

A late post from me tonight. The children didn’t settle that early so I’ve sacrificed a little sleep for some crafting me time :-)

I have loved Sugar Nellie stamps for a long time, in fact I think they were the first ‘Cute’ stamps I bought. Before that it was all florals, patterns and sentiments. So I was excited to see that The Sugar Bowl challenge is coming back and more so because they are having a DT call.

I dithered for a bit about which image to use, so I coloured several up but it was the lovely cute Alicia that finally made it onto a card.

With such an adorable image I wanted to go for a fairly CAS look. I’ve used a paper with a lovely small pattern and cut, embossed and glittered a frame from pale pink card. The sentiments are clear stamps so I curved them on the acrylic block to follow the shape of the frame.

Supplies:

  • Image: Alicia from Sugar Nellie/Funky Kits
  • Colouring Medium: ProMarkers
  • DP: First Edition New Bloom 6x6 Paper Pad
  • Card: Copic X-Press It and Core’dinations Textured Card
  • Stamps: Paula Pascual Double Sayings Clear Stamp Set from Personal Impressions
  • Ink: Archival Jet Black Inkpad
  • Dies & Punches: Go Kreate Large Circle Dies and Spellbinders Plain Circle Nestabilities
  • Misc: Sizzix Curlicue & Hearts Embossing Folder Set, Faux stitching with a white gel pen and pink self adhesive pearls
