B is for berries - ABC Christmas challenge

This is the second part of the January challenge for ABC Christmas and now we have come to B in the alphabet, as in B is for berries. And this is my entry:

I used the holly and the berry from a Hero arts stamp set I bought a couple of years back. The texts are from the same stamp set. It is stamped with color from Distress Oxides. I made the back with Distress ink and used the Nellies choice stencil "Swirls 2". Then I dug deep and used the very first Penny Black stamps I bought "Holly day Critters" it's called with this cute little fellow. I put them him on 3D dots to make him stand out from the background. And well I couldn't help using some Nuvo Chrystal drops to finish it off.

Hope you like it!

Christmas all year around - Let it snow

A crafting friend tipped me of some blogs that have Christmas challenges all year around. What a great way to avoid stressing about the cards in november/december! I actually started in January last year to making the cards and had around ten I think come december. But participating in these challenges will better that number I think.

So if you think I'm crazy and greatly tired of Christmas cards - ease up this is more of a winter card anyway... In the blog Christmas cards all year around the January challenge theme is “Let it snow”. This is how my card turned out:

This is a quite small card, 10x10 cm. I recently started to enjoy making those. The circle is a rest product from a background I made for another project, using Distress inks. I used a Hero Arts stamp set I bought maybe a year back. The trees are some very old Magnolia stamps I think. Finally I had som Nuvo Chrystal Drops dotted over the card for snow.

Hope you like it and feels the joy of the moment illustrated... now I long for snow and taking a ride downhill with my kids. I scream more than they do of course...

Origami-gran

Min DT-kollega Benita i Instila älskar utmaningar. Därför arrar hon Adventsutmaningar i vår nya Facebook-grupp "Skapat med Instila", https://www.facebook.com/groups/1676691165976943/. Och DT-mama Sabina har laddat upp med fina priser varje vecka.

Som DT får jag ju såklart inte delta, men njuter ändå av att få skapa enligt Benitas huvud. :-)

Denna vecka, utmaning nr 2, blev det origami-granvikning. Visste precis vilket papper jag ville använda. (Och i gruppen har Benita gjort en tut som t.o.m viknings-UFO-t jag förstod mig på). Tänkte direkt att granen skulle göra sig perfekt i min nya ovala dies som följde med mitt DT-paket. Och ja, den kan bli en ny favorit.
