Lili of the Valley Design Team!

Good Morning!

As you all know I had rather a long break from crafting and only got back into it a couple of weeks ago. Before the break I was part of the LILI OF THE VALLEY DESIGN TEAM and luckily they were kind enough to have me back when I spoke them last week! 

This is my first card back for them and I have used an image from one of their new Art Sheets called 'Christmas Pugs'. These Art Sheets are beautifully coloured and perfect if you don't have time to colour yourself. You can find this particular Pug design along with 3 other variations of him HERE'

A Christmas Wish!

Good Afternoon!

Just a quick card for you this afternoon that I made last week, I recycled an old shop bought card that I received for Christmas as I thought the main image would work perfectly as a Topper! Of course this card won't be sold and will just be sent to a family member.

I'd also like to quickly mention that I was lucky enough to win the previous challenge over at ALLSORTS with their challenge of 'Bears' with my previous card. 

This was a lovely surprise especially as I'm just getting back into card-making :)

INGREDIENTS -

Old Christmas Card

Trimcraft Design Paper

Gold Cardstock

Cheesecloth & Gold Glitter Organza Ribbon

Berries & Prisma Embellishments

Adhesive Pearls

A Quick & Simple Christmas Bear!

Good Afternoon!

I apologise in advance for another Christmas card, I'm becoming a tad obsessed with the season!

Today's card is one that I made this morning in a rather quick and simple style. Perfect for if you need a batch of cards but still want to give them some layers! 

I dug out this older stamped image that was stored away as I thought it'd go perfectly with a gold star embellishment that I've had for many years stashed away in a pot.
