Final Post for Crafty Hazelnut's Challenge Extra - December Midway

I am happy to say that with the help of makes for this and other Challenges,
 I was well prepared when it came to writing my Christmas cards!!

This is my Midway Design Team make for the December Challenge of

Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra - Anything Goes every month!

Bugaboo Stamps are proud to sponsor this challenge - they are offering four digital stamps to the randomly selected winner.

Today I have not used a Bugaboo image... I have stamped directly onto a cream deckle card base.

The trees and hare are Noolibird stamps, stamped in SU brown and green inks. The moon is stamped in yellow with triple Kitchen Sink moon stamps.

I made a whole batch of these - but because I love the Noolibird stamps so much I also made a batch of these:

This time I stamped the hare in black Versafine, masked it, and then added the tree.
The moon this time is a Stampin Up stamp embossed in white.

Crafty Hazelnut's Extra Challenge November Midway

Starting early with my Christmas cards means I am organised come November -
 Hmmm!!

This is my Midway Design Team make for the November Challenge of

Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra - Anything Goes every month!

Bugaboo Stamps are proud to sponsor this challenge - they are offering four digital stamps to the randomly selected winner.

Today I have not used a Bugaboo image... in fact I have used a number of tree die cuts.

At the crafty retreat at the weekend one of the demonstrations was partial die-cutting.
So I had a go using this green card blank...the photo shows the back.

I then added a number of black die cuts - not sure if this is visible but I added glitter using a  Zig Wink of Stella pen. The sentiment and holly are from Happy Little Stampers. Finally I added some sparkly gems.
