Moving Along with the Times - Christmas Climate

This week at Moving Along with the Times it's Red's turn to choose the theme and it's 'Christmas Climate'.

My card is made using a freebie stamp that I received in a magazine a long time ago. I've used a small Craft UK card blank and three varying shades of silver paper and card as the background. The embossed card is embossed using Provocraft folders. The base paper was given in a Secret Santa gift a couple of years ago and it's the first time I've used it. The image was coloured with my Promarkers, then I hand cut the oval and edged with Stormy Sky Distress Ink. The sentiment is from one of Joanna Sheen's stamp plates. I stamped and embossed it with silver powder, trimmed it and rounded the corners before edging with Distress Ink. The organza ribbon is also from JS.

MAWTT I'm Dreamin' of a White Christmas

This week come along and join us at Moving Along with the Times for our challenge of 'I'm Dreamin' of a White Christmas'. This was the theme set by our big boss Hazel (Didos). I made my card and then discovered that it really should have been white on white but my silver bits were allowed! I was just thinking of dreaming and white Christmas, doh!

My card blank is a small Craft UK card and the silver glitter paper is from a Papermania pad. I embossed a sheet of white paper with a Provocraft embossing folder and matted it on to the silver glitter. I used a very fine strip of the glitter paper across the card and topped it with a snowflake button from Create and Craft. The sentiment is from LOTV and it's embossed with silver powder before being centred on to a Spellbinders die cut in silver Mirri board.

I'm entering my card into the following challenges:
Christmas at Sweet Stampin' - Glitter, Glitter everywhere
Hobbybook Designer Challenge - Add a sentiment
Little Red Wagon - Seeing Spots

Thanks for visiting.

MAWTT - Winter Wonderland

This week's theme over at Moving Along with the Times is Winter Wonderland and it was set by Hazel (didos). So come along and join us with snowy and icy scenes.

This is my card for the Winter Wonderland challenge set for Team B. I've used a small card blank from Craft UK. The silver glitter paper is from Papermania and I've matted on to that some paper that I won from a competition at Crafts Beautiful a few years ago. I don't even know if the Crafts Beautiful magazine is still around.  I used my Hobbycraft punch to cut a large snowflake. The tree is from a Memory Box die called Winterland Tree. To finish off the card I added some Diamond Dust by Provocraft.

I'm really poorly this week so I'm sorry if I don't get round to visit you.

Less is more Challenge

This is only the second challenge I've ever entered but I'm really enjoying them. This is for the Less is More weekly challenge http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.com/ which I discovered today, thanks to Jan. The card blank, siver card and white paper all from Papermill. I've used Provocraft stamp shape and elephant dies. The white ribbon is from a roll I inherited from my sister. I've checked out all the other entries so far and I was very impressed so I hope mine can keep up with them.
