LOTV - Penguins Ho Ho Ho

Hello Friends

I had a lovely weekend away and now home for a day before I'm off for another weekend away! I am a busy bee :) I'm hoping the weather improves for the weekend as it's pretty awful here in 'Sunny Southend', I can't believe how cold it is, I'll be getting the thermals out next! Anyway, I have a Christmas card to share with you all today and here it is...


It's another image from Lili of the Valley that I manged to buy in their recent 60% off sale - a bargain!

I have used the following to make this:
6x6 card base
LOTV Digi stamp which you can find HERE
coloured with Promarker's on to Neenah Classic card
The papers are from a pad called 'Pure Frozen' it has no maker's name, but I'm sure the pad came from The Range a few years ago.
Woodware snow punch
Everything else from stash.

Have a great weekend everyone. Please accept my apologies if I haven't caught up on your blogs, that'll be next week, I promise.

You Are My Sunshine- Lee Holland

Hi everyone

I hope you are all well. I'm off away again this Bank Holiday weekend to the Covid hotspot of England, yes Cornwall... Yikes. I'm hoping the weather will be good as my partner and I are attending a 50th birthday party. On the way back from Cornwall we're stopping off at Portsmouth for a night to visit the historic dockyard. So a busy weekend! This evening I'm sharing a card I have made using a new stamp to me, but I believe it's been around for a while and here it is...


To make this card I used the following

6x6 card base
Lee Holland Designs - 'You Are My Sunshine' stamp (this is such a cutie) which comes with sentiment
coloured with Promarker's onto Neenah Classic Card
Papers are Craft Sensations - Stars Shining
Bling and ribbon from stash.

Have a great Bank holiday weekend if you have one and I hope the weather improves with a bit of sun. See you all next week.

Stampendous 'Snow Bird'

Good afternoon everyone

I hope everyone had a good weekend? I spent the weekend crafting which was rather relaxing, I'm trying new techniques using watercolour pens and ink, I'm not sharing them today, but will in the future. The weather is improving here in 'sunny Southend' it's rather warm but no sun! Today I am sharing a card using a stamp I've had for years and never inked up and here it is...


Ingredients Used are:
6x6 card base
Stampendous Cling Stamp 'Snow Bird'
coloured with Promarker's on to Neenah Classic card
Inkylicious Bauble stencil, as you can see I cut round the stencil and this was a bit of a pain!
Lili of the Valley Christmas Tags stamps, you can find the Digi images HERE
I'm not sure where the Embossing folder came from as I store mine out their packages, sorry
Decor Glamour Dust for the snow look
Ribbon and bling from my stash.

Have a great week and I'll see you all soon.
