MCV71 - 25 Days of Christmas Tags

Hello!

I'm still working on those Christmas tags!

This time I've been inspired over at Muse Christmas Visions Challenge 71 where there are so many gorgeous tags to inspire! The Muse CV team are playing along with Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags as well.

This is my tag. I didn't quite get the lighting right for this one, but I was inspired to create the stained-glass window effect with vellum. I coloured the vellum from behind and added Wink of Stella to the front to make it glisten. If you look closely you can see two tiny bells (they even jingle!)

I used PTI Botanical Blocks IV stamps and dies and Wplus9 Christmas Tag dies.

The tag that inspired me was this beautiful one by Natasha Kara.

I love Christmas card and tag making. I love Christmas! Life is super busy right now, but I'm really looking forward to the Christmas holiday! :-)

Thanks for visiting!

Glittering Christmas Peace

Hello!

I was so inspired this week by the dimensional stars I've seen around blogland. I was curious how these stars worked, so I created one for myself. It turns out that it is just a matter of careful scoring and folding to get the star to sit up nicely like that!

Once I had that star, I just had to use it, and I had a few challenges in mind. Here is my card.

I used Wplus9 Star Stackers die and PTI Snowflake Serenade stamps. Sentiment is silver embossed. The star is made from SU! glitter paper.

I'm entering into three  challenges.

Muse Christmas Visions with this gorgeous inspiration. I love a black background Christmas card, so dramatic!

My layout was inspired by the December Sketch Challenge at Happy Little Stampers.

And last, but not least, Virgina's View Challenge where it's All About Glitter! This is Virginia's last challenge. I'm crossing my fingers that she'll be back after a little rest. This is one of my very favourite challenges, probably because Virginia is the sweetest person out there. :-)

Muse Christmas Visions 18

Hello!

I organised myself to make a card for Muse Christmas Visions again! Woo hoo! Another Christmas card made. At this rate I should have enough by December 2020! Haha!

Kimberly's card used a coloured card base and gold embossed Christmas trees. I used these two ideas to make my version.

I used Mama Elephant Cozy Christmas stamps, gold embossed, and Copic coloured.

Kimberly's beautiful inspiration card is here:

I really must get myself organised to make some more Christmas cards. I almost sold every single one of my cards last year. I nearly didn't leave  myself enough after I'd sold them all! I don't think I'll have extras to sell this year, certainly not at the moment.

Thanks for visiting!

Christmas in June?

Hello!

I've been thinking it is about time to start making Christmas cards. Last year I almost exhausted my supplies. If I don't start now I'll never have enough for this year! I've been wanting to join in over at MUSE Christmas Visions, and finally I have done it. Yay!

I used SU! Dasher with a Mama Elephant sentiment. The background is sponged distress ink and glimmer mist. It's nice and "Twinkle-y". :-)

My inspiration came from the MUSE Christmas Visions card by Betty.

I took the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.

So, one card down, about one hundred left to make. ;-)

Thanks for visiting!
