Mixing It Up! With A DT Call

Good evening crafters, I'm here this evening to share with you the latest challenge at Southern Girls.

 The theme is 

Pattern Paper Mix-Up.

Now if you know me, you'll know I don't tend to use a lot of patterned paper, I'm more of a CAS kind of girl but I have to say, I rather like it.

The image that I used is 

"Little Christmas Girl" 

It's by one of today's sponsors All Dressed Up, please check the challenge blog for full details of all of the sponsors this time.

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-

A Snowflake Promise, Winter/ Christmas,

Inky Chicks 59, Silent Night,

Papertake, Let it Snow,

Unicorn 3, Christmas.

Here's Some Information For You!

Do you fancy joining the Southern Girls?

We are having a little Dt call at the mo!

Last Of The Christmas Cards.

I do hope that you all had a lovely Christmas, ours was eventful one way or another but it's been lovely to slow down and spend time with the family. I've just been sitting and looking back over my files at cards that I've made but still haven't got around to showing. This one's another that I did for Karen's craft taster night back at the beginning of November, it proved to be popular, it was lovely to inspire other crafters.

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-

ACR, Sparkle,

BS74, Winter,

Craftitude 55, Anything goes Sparkle,

Crafty Hands 4, Winter,

MIM171, Anything goes.

Been A Busy Girl!

Well, Father Christmas will soon be flying over off to leave presents for all the good boys and girls!

Today I have been a busy girly and have also spent a little time in the "Crafty Cabin" I do seem to have left things till the last minute this year.

The little red bag was made using my Stampin Up Envelope  Board (I think that's what it's called) It took a 11x11" square of bazil to create it, it's big enough for a net of chocolate coins and a coupe of chocolate penguins.

It really is a great gadget! I just wish I'd given myself more time so that I could have added more decoration to the tiny money wallet/bags that I also made using 8x8" DP.

Then I got cracking making my mum a card, I know, it's similar to my card from the other day but this one has loads of glitter and a splash of red too!

I'm using these for the following challenges:-

ACC January, Anything goes, no cards, (Red bag)

PR13, Washi Tape,

LIM151, as week 143, twine,

Craftitude 55, Christmas sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by,

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

And Another.

 I  wish I'd had this die sooner, I ended up making 30 cards in a few hours .

The hardest thing with this card was positioning the snowflake in the cutter so that I could use both halves.

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-

LIM151, 140 WOW Christmas,
MTTC228, WOW,
Jellypark Friends, Christmas.

Anything Goes.

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!

December already!

That means it's time for a new challenge at Lavinia Stamps and a perfect one for a busy month. 

Anything Goes!

I inked up Midnight Meandering for the first time, masking a little hill and sponging with distress inks. 

Without a Lavinia snowflake stamp I think I got away with using a star stamp by using the second stamping so that it was feint.

Oooooodles of glamour dust and a couple of die cuts complete the card.

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-

CHCB3, Sparkle and bling,

JFFC, Christmas,

LIM148, Sparkle,

KIS28, Snow,

CBD23,Christmas.

Sunday Quickie.

It's been a while since I posted a "Sunday Quickie"

So here it is, exactly what it says on the packet lol, a quick card, made on a Sunday!

Sometimes it pays being a messy crafter, there was already a remnant of  narrow card and a folded card just waiting to be used. I just used my "Tattered Lace" snowflake, using the negative cut, placing the white waste into the middle by using a quickie glue pen into the remnants within the die and then putting the die back into the cut and using a pin to push them out so that the stuck perfectly into place. 

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-

CC November, Christmas,

LIM 146, DP CAS,

LC39, Christmas,

T4S24, Die.
