Christmas silhouettes

A really good challenge at Bah! Humbug this week, it was to make a Christmas card with silhouettes, my silhouettes are from a free font, I cut them out with my Creative Memories cutter dont have a nestabilities circle (yet) and mounted onto a scallopped nestie, all three of the sentitments are computer generated, the corner cuts are made with cuttlebug vintage set.

Christmas peel-offs

Back from my travels, had a lovely time away and even met up with Sue in Sydney, and she with her husband Ian showed us around which was so very kind of them, and then entertained us for lunch at their house.
Bah! Humbug! are asking us to use peel-offs this week, we also have to say what we think, do we love them, hate them or feel indifferent about them.... Well I think like a lot of others I used them when I first started making cards, but never use them now, but I did have a few odds and ends around.
I used my cuttlebug Christmas scene cut it out into a circle and stuck my peel-off Christmas greeting under it, mounted it onto yellowy/gold card... and also used some snowflake peel-offs on the white card which I embossed partly with swiss dots.

Gold Fantasy Tree

Penny Black challenge this week is asking for a Red and Gold card... so out came my Fantasy Tree again, I embossed it with gold, mounted it on gold card, put 4 red brads in the corners then attached it to my red base card. My sentitment was computer generated and again backed with gold card, the side of my card I embossed with my swiss dot embossing folder and to finish it I cut out gold stars from the gold card and attached them on top of the swiss dots.

Stamp Something challenge is asking for something that reminds you of winter, well the bare tree surely does that.

We three kings

The challenge at Allsorts this week was to take inspiration from a Christmas carol or a song title,
so I knew directly what I was going to do, I have this lovely Stampin Up stamp of the 3 wise men. I am also entering this for the Papertake Challenge for a Christmas card. I first embossed the image with gold, then coloured it with Whispers pens, cut it out into an oval, layer that with black, then layered that with foam pads onto a gold oval which I embossed with my cuttlebug swirl folder, and layered this again with black. I used a red card as the base card, and decorated the corners with gold ProvaCraft corners.

Charlotte's teddy

Made this for a neighbours little girl for her 4th birthday. Its for a Pot Luck challenge on StampTV we were asked to use punches, Coluzzle etc..... but no Nestie on this challenge.

Thank you for looking ... Jose
