and here's one i made earlier...: November 2025

Good morning, time for November's Challenge at Stamping Sensations.

The theme for this month is Christmas or Anything Goes, chosen by Pinky. There are some lovely prizes of Christmas themed stamps and dies for the lucky winners.

I used another of the cute Ember stamps I bought recently, this time a little bird- all rugged up for the cold weather, stamped onto white card and fussy cut, I've coloured him with markers. The frame die is from A&C , the top mat was made on the gel plate, added some stamping and stencilling and torn paper snow, and a die cut 'BRRR'.

There's plenty more to see over at Stamping Sensations where you can check out the full details of how to join in, the prizes to be won and some wonderful inspiration from the rest of the Team.

Thanks for stopping by- enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Good morning - how can it possibly be November???

Today sees the start of a new challenge at Crafty Calendar , the theme for this month is

ADD A BUTTON.

As the year is galloping on it's another Christmas card from me- as you can see I've not made many yet!

I used another cute stamp from Ember Designs, stamped directly onto a kraft card blank and coloured with pencils, a white gel pen for the falling snow. Added my button to his big shiny nose! I stamped the sentiment that came with the set onto a small die cut tag and attached it to the card with twine and a tiny peg. Not too sure I agree with that sentiment, and I definitely would not choose to sit in snow, but the little reindeer looks very happy, I decorated the inside and envelope to match.
