Stamptacular Challenge 39


Hello everyone, for Stamptacular Challenge 39 we have a theme of Snowtacular and we want to see lots of snow on your cards and/or projects. We are sponsored this week by Card Art and they have given us this fabulous prize:

For my DT creations this week I have made the little set below. It is Jeff's card, a gift box and some tags for his presents, he isn't into cute and a lot of fuss so I have gone with this simple design.


Here is everything together. The papers are from pebbles inc and the stamp is from the Magnolia Christmas Collection 2008.


Here is a better look at the card. I have stitched around all the edges and for the snowflakes, I have punched some in navy card and some out of acetate, but the acetate ones don't show up to well in the photo!


And finally, a closer look at the box. It was a box that a necklace came in and I simply altered it.

Supplies
Card/Paper: White and navy card, Pebbles inc
Stamps: Magnolia - Christmas Collection 2008
Embellishments: Ribbon, jewels, brads
Tools: Cuttlebug, nesties, snowflake folder, MS snowflake punch, Fiskars border punch, sewing machine

A Christmas 3 in 1


Hello everyone, today's card is for three challenges; Just Magnolia Week 34 has a theme of make a card for someone special - this card is for Jeff's parents, ABC has a theme of I is for Indigo and finally Stamp Something has a theme of Glitzy. Apologies for the rather strange light on the photos, the sun wasn't playing today!


For my card I have used Tilda with Wood Basket from the Magnolia Winter Collection 2008 and she is coloured with copics. The papers are all from Pebbles inc and I have used my Fiskars border punch for the edging. My glitzy element is from the stickles on her wings, the jewels I have used, the sparkly snowflake and the polar white flower soft that I have used for snow. I'm getting a bit better with my sewing machine and it has had another outing here!
