I'm sharing the cards (last minute so the same design!) that I made for my son and daughter this year- this Santa stamp always makes me smile and I teamed it with a stamped sentiment that I know they will find funny- hope it makes you smile too!

It's Christmas at Crafty Calendar
Anything Christmas at Sweet Stampin' Challenges
I'm still needing a few cards that are mail- friendly so I made a CAS card using my Lavinia stamps- just 2 stamps used this time the magnificent Magnus and a berry bough. A little sponged Distress Ink to create the impression of a snowy background and loads of red stickles on the berries.
We'd love to have you join us this month, pop over and see what the rest of the DT have been up to- some seriously gorgeous cards to admire, then add your own beautiful creations- please remember to stamp something.
Thanks for looking- I'll be back in a bit with another DT make.

Christmas at Fab'n' Funky Challenges
I made a very simple rocker card, featuring an adorable Mo Manning snowman (or is it a snowgirl?) coloured up with copic markers and fussy cut to sit on top of the rocker base, which is decorated with die cut icicles and a snowflake frame...some tiny pink gems and lots of glitter! The hardest part was attaching the acetate panel (it was extremely badly behaved!)
My teamies have been busy creating some beautiful cards to inspire you- you can see them here.
Remember our challenges last for two weeks now, so loads of time to join in- hope to see you there :)

Crafty Catz #574 Anything Goes and A DT call
Good morning, Friday again already and less than a month now until Christmas- it will be over before we know it! Just hoping that it won't be cancelled again after hearing about the new super-duper variant of Covid in South Africa. Deep joy, My young niece and nephew both have the virus at the moment- Maddie for the second time- will it ever stop! Ok, enough of the whining and doom and gloom and on to happier things.

Use red at Sweet Stampin' Challenge
I went the Christmas route- still waaay behind with the amount of cards I need and I have this fabulous Santa stamp from Whimsy that I was itching to use!
I die cut a square of white cardstock, stamped the image, then masked it to stamp and stencil the fir trees and sky, coloured the image with Copic markers and stamped the sentiment.
There is plenty of inspiration from the rest of the Sweeties over at Sweet Stampin', hop over and take a look, then why not stamp something, use some red and join the fun! Thanks for visiting, enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Fab'n' Funky Challenge #538 Christmas
I made this card mainly from bits and pieces lying around on my desk-the corrugated star, white embossed panel of card,tiny scrap of ribbon and the sequins, also the kraft card which was actually a pack of card blanks with envelopes I bought really cheaply somewhere, when I opened them the card blanks were really flimsy - which is obviously why they were so cheap! I cut up one of the cards and embossed it with the stars embossing folder. I found a piece of dark red tartan DP in the scrap drawer and layered it all together adding the die cut sentiment, which wasn't on my desk...I'm not THAT untidy!! Ok - I am!
There's more inspiration to be see from my lovely Fab'n' Funky teamies over at the Challenge Blog. Please hop over and take a look and we'd love it if you choose to play along this week- after all it's about time you all got cracking on those Christmas makes!
Thanks for stopping by, have a good day
