Angel with Trumpet

             Good Morning!

Today I just wanted to share one more card with you all, I'd had this image inked up for a week or so but hadn't had chance to make anything with it so thought I'd get something made this morning ... the first card to add to my 2024 stash!
The stamp I've used is an older design by LOTV called 'Angel with Trumpet'.

Sincere Christmas Greetings

 Good Evening!

Today's card is back to using another of the images in my stash by Maja Design, in fact the next couple of creations that I will be sharing are using their images. Can you tell I have little bit of a fondness for them? You'll notice that I don't like to embellish them too much either as I don't want to make the overall design 'too busy'.

A Trio of Pugs!

Hello!

This post is sharing a trio of cards that I made using some pre-coloured images from LOTV, perfect for this style of crafting. 

I kept it simple by mounting them onto cardstock before adding to a 3x3 card blank and then finishing them off with some embellishments.

These designs can be bought as Digi's or Simply Prints if you click HERE.

Warmest Thoughts & Best Wishes

               Good Evening!

I have used another image from the paper set mentioned in my previous post. This time it's of a gorgeous vintage Christmas tree, I also added stickles to the silver baubles for extra sparkle but you can't really tell in the photo!

Merry Christmas

Hello!
This card has a slightly masculine feel to it.

As you all will probably know by now my favourite design paper brand is Maja Design and in their packs they always have a sheet which includes a set of pictures. Usually I try to resist using them because I love the designs so much but I decide to bite the bullet and finally use some on some cards this year lol 
Today's card is using one of those!

Twinkling Star

             Hello!

Yes I'm still enjoying my gold theme but as you can see it's been jazzed up with some red on today's card lol. The stamp I've used is another older design by LOTV called 'Twinkling Star' and I've also used the shabby embossing powder again too on the main image.
The sentiment I've used is actually from the bottom edge border strip that goes along the bottom of 12x12 sheets, the sentiment was repeated 4 times and the perfect size to be cut up and used on cards!

Christmas Delivery

            Hello!

Here's another card form me continuing with the Gold theme however this time I added a little bit of silver too. The stamp I've used is another older design by LOTV called 'Christmas Delivery'. 
You might spot as well on the cards that I've used the colour Gold on that I've also used a different embossing powder for the snow effect, the shabby white one which I've used today also has speckles of gold embossing powder and glitter in it too.

Angels with Crib

         Good Morning!

I haven't made as many Christmas cards as I'd of hoped by now so yesterday afternoon I had a bit of a card-making frenzy, something that hasn't happened in years and I must say I really enjoyed it!
One that I'd managed to make a couple of days earlier is today's card and it is using one of the older designs by LOTV called 'Angels with Crib'. For me the colour scheme just had to be Gold, there's just something about Gold cards too that seme to make them feel extra special at Christmas!

                      Good Morning!

Today we have a new challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE. 
This month's challenge is 'Anything Goes with the Option of  Christmas!'
I kept this one simple 'ish' due to the size of the stamp and added two sentiments which are lyrics from 'Silent Night' to go along with the carolling mice.

A House Mouse Christmas

      Good Morning!

This card was one that I'd made simply just for fun ... it's been a while since I've been able to say that! I'd coloured this image up a couple of months ago and completely forgot about it until I came back across it a few weeks ago.

The November challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE was 'Anything Goes with the Option of  Glitter & Glitz!'

Poinsettia Flowers Christmas Bear

Hello!

Our November challenge over at CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS was 'Contemporary Christmas Colours' so that meant we didn't want to see traditional colour schemes on your creations at all.
We were also joined by our sponsor Polkadoodles who kindly let us use one of their designs for our creations ... I must admit this is one of my favourite Christmas cards that I've made so far this year!

        Good Morning!

September saw LOTV launching a new festive release over on Create & Craft TV!
My favourite set had to be the set called 'Snowy Folk' and I couldn't wait to make a card with this lovely Snowman as soon as I saw it! Paired with a dusky pink colour scheme and back in my usual style I hope you like this card as much as I do.

Snowflake Fairy

    Good Morning!
This card was made back in August when we had The Paper Shelter sponsoring our challenge over at Creative Inspirations.
I decided to go all Christmassy and use the super sweet design called 'Snowflake Fairy'.
As usual you can't tell but the wings and snowflake are absolutely smothered with sparkle using Stickles, it never shows up properly for me in photographs lol
