Deck The Halls

It's almost time to deck the halls - and these three, little hedgies are getting an early start :o)

I was short on time in my craftroom this week, so I kept  my card very simple, and dug out these cute, little hedgies that I have had forever.
They still stamp beautifully though and need only minimal colouring.

Sprinkled With Joy

Hello.

Who is thinking about Christmas Baking?

I am already trawling through Pinterest in search of easy recipes, that look amazing, that I will probably never find time to make!

I did find time to make this 'baking' card though...

I adapted the stitched die for this card. It is really 3 even parts, but I cut off one 'bar' and put it back in a horizontal position, so it fitted my theme better.

The cute, little elements were stamped and die cut, and coloured with copics.

Dancin' St Nick

Hello.
Argh! I made a card for last week's Freshly Made Sketches and then missed the deadline :-(
So, today I'm getting my entry in early.
Here is a Dancing St Nick...

This Santa is a bit fiddly to put together, but very cute and fun. (If you want to see him dancing check out my Instagram.)
He's popped up with foam tape, as are the trees, and placed on a die cut 'snowy' background.

Ooops! I've just noticed I forgot to add some glitter to the fur on his hat.

Let Us Sew, Let Us Sew, Let Us Sew

Hello.
My first foray into card making - back when dinosaurs roamed the earth - was with cross stitching.
So it was really nice to get back into some stitching, using this gorgeous die from Spellbinders.

I went for a cool, blue theme with some added gems for a bit of sparkle.
This is a great little project to do whilst watching TV.

Waiting For Santa

Argh!
It's 12C in here today, but I am determined NOT to put the heating on.
I am wrapped up in thermals and a pom pom hat :o)   Who else is holding out?

I need to step up my Christmas card making, so here's another one for the pile.

I do love this cute pup and his little mouse pal, waiting for Father Christmas, but it's tricky for me to colour. Those curtains - don't look too closely - absolute nightmare!
