Cozy Christmas Couple

Hi Bloggers

It's getting closer and closer to the big day :)
Today my Mum & I  put up some decorations and the tree, so my bungalow is now gingerbready-fied (OK so not a real word but I like it)
Im going to share the card I made for my daughter and her fiance using stamps from the gorgeous 'Merry Little Christmas' set from Cuddly Buddly


I coloured the stamps with Pro Markers and used papers from my stash along with gold card, black gems, some blue seam binding & a tree die cut. The sentiment is from a fab digi set available from Cuddly Buddly here and its only 99p :)
I hope you are all on top of your Christmas preparations and not too busy wrapping & decorating

Happy Crafting

Digi Choosday Challenge: Christmas

Hello Bloggers

It's that time again, time for the new challenge at
and this week it's quite simply

CHRISTMAS

Now there should be no reason for anyone not to enter this challenge as you must all be deep in Christmas makes or already have them all done
I decided to use the gorgeous Xmas Angelberry Hugs for my make this week and decided to make a very girly card


I coloured her using Pro Markers, added clear Wink of Stella to her wings and used Liquid Pearls for the pom-poms on her dress and headband. The papers are from my stash and I added a square of muslin that i had frayed round the edges to match the distressing on the papers. The poinsettias are made from a Marianne die and I sparkled them with Stickles. The heart and pearl strings are from my stash. I really enjoyed making this and its quite a bit OTT to my normal makes using lots of layers

I do hope you will join us in our challenge this week and look forward to seeing all your wonderful creations

Christmas Celebrations

Good Morning Bloggers

Today starts a new challenge at Digi Choosday and this week it is

CHRISTMAS CELEBRATIONS


I have been soooooo good this year and well ahead in my Christmas card makes I only had 3 left to make, so after this one that's 2

When i saw this super cute image I knew I had to use it for my furbabies Christmas card. The image is called 'Sleightime' and can be brought alone or on the fab 'Work & Play 5 Festive Hollybobs Collection'. The blue snowfall paper and the calendar are both on the CD too
I coloured the image with Pro Markers, added glossy accents to the holly berries and used stickles for the snow. I distressed the edges of my papers with my Tim Holtz distress tool. The star die cuts were from my stash and the snowflakes I cut with a recent magazine freebie die, the sentiment I made on the computer

I hope you will come along and join our challenge this week, I'm really looking forward to seeing lots of Christmas Celebration cards
Don't forget to check out the Polka Doodles online shop for the digi and papers I used as well as loads of other amazing images, papers, sentiments and more, and for physical goods the shipping is only 99p worldwide!!

Christmas Wreath

Hi Bloggers

I'm doing this post from my Mums house where me and my furbaby Lilli are having a girly weekend. Watching Christmas films, eating take-away as well as sticky toffee pudding with toffee fudge ice cream mmmmmmmmm

Anyway I'm sharing another of my Cuddly Buddly DT makes, this time using one of the stamps from the 'Merry Little Christmas' set


I wanted to make the wreath stand out so decided to go CAS. I coloured the image with Pro Markers, embossed a piece of plan white card stock with a dotty folder and and mounted the wreath with foam pads so it stands out. The sentiment is from another Cuddly Buddly stamp set called 'Holly Collage' and I added 3 small gems to finish it off

Cuddly Buddly have a great range of Christmas stamp sets at only £6.99 each and digi images from 99p, so if you are stuck for ideas or running behind on your Christmas makes its worth taking a look

Pressie's!!!!!

Good Morning Bloggers

It's time for another challenge at Digi Choosday and this week it's

Presents & Gifts

I decided this week not to use an image but to use some of the amazing Christmas papers in the 'Work & Play 5 - Festive Hollybobs' Collection




These papers are just so cute and come in 5 different colour ways. Of course I had to use the gingerbread people one and the reindeer one went so well with it. The sentiment tags are from the same collection, and even though I didn't use any digi images I still managed to find a way to colour something on my project :) you didn't think I would do zero colouring did you lol
I added some tiny die cut gingerbread people with incy wincy black pearls for buttons along with 2 big shiny red gems for the reindeer's nose, and finished off with some red & green bakers twine

If you pop over to the Digi Choosday blog you will be able to see all my fellow DT  brilliant makes and enter this challenge, hope to see your creations there soon
