Happy Little Stampers December ATC Challenge

The theme is 'Bling' when creating either Artist Trading Cards or Artist Trading Coins.

 Do pop over to the Happy Little Stampers blog to see the inspiration from my team-mates.

This picture shows my ATC.

I started with a piece of purple card and added a 'Christmas tree in window' die cut (unbranded die), cut in a purple and silver patterned paper.

I then added bling!!

Hope you will join the challenge!

Watch your email for this week's image - Cute Elf Cat! 

I have made a set of three ATCs:

I printed the digi three times in a size that would fit an ATC.

 Using Promarkers I coloured them in three different colourways and cut them out.

I placed the images on the backgrounds that I had formed using black card, three different papers from Craft Perfect by Tonic Studios 'Woodland Walk' and then part of a tree diecut, cut from three different papers from Craft Perfect by Tonic Studios 'Mint Blush'.

Finally I added a sprinkling of gems:

I will link these ATCs to the Crafting by Designs Challenge . Oddball is sponsoring this and also Colour Crazy Challenge so I will link my ATCs there too.

Happy Crafting!

25 days of Christmas Tags - Day 26 Bonus Day again - and definitely my last post....

I came across this for the first time last year - and thoroughly enjoyed it  - and when it came to Christmas I had more than enough tags made!!

It is hosted by Tracey McNeely and you will find the main hop post here
She works really hard to organise this hop and secures many sponsors!

 Each day I will CASE or be inspired by at least one tag...!

These are definitely my last set of tags for this hop!!

Day Twenty Six showcases Hello Bluebird.

Once again I will have to look in my stash for something similar...

But having seen the tags of Marine Simon, on Day Twenty Six I just had to have a go at some mixed media...

  

Here are my tags inspired by these tags... I stayed with a single layer...

I die cut tags from some blue corrugated paper.
I added Distress Oxide (faded jeans) by swiping the pad across the tags.
I added texture paste around the edges, sprinkled with glamour dust and left to dry...

I added snowflakes cut in brown and blue card (Paper Smooches dies).

Then I added ribbon, foam reindeer (these were given me by a friend) and the sentiment die cut in red - this was the first die in my Crafter's Companion Advent Calendar - opened yesterday!!

I will link these to the main hop post

Happy Crafting!

This is my DT make for the December Challenge

 of The 12 Months of Christmas Link up...

  This month the theme is 'Layers'

I have used Farrah Stocking from Scribbles Designs and
from DDD, papers from A Touch of Frost: Animal Tracks Kit and from

Here is my card

It is an easel card - I printed the image and coloured it with Promarkers, and printed the sentiment on the computer. I used the papers to make all the various layers on a white card blank with an extra square of white. I then added a sprinkle of gems.

Hope you will join in the challenge!

Happy Crafting!

25 Days of Christmas Tags Day 21 revisited

I came across this for the first time last year - and thoroughly enjoyed it  - and when it came to Christmas I had more than enough tags made!!

It is hosted by Tracey McNeely and you will find the main hop post here
She works really hard to organise this hop and secures many sponsors!

 Each day I will CASE or be inspired by at least one tag...!

One more post - or maybe just one more after this - I definitely have enough tags for my gifts now and I have passed some tags on to my Mom. My sister still has a few from last year!!

Day Twenty One showcases Lawn Fawn as sponsor.

Again I will have to look in my stash for similar products.

Anyway this is Audrey Tokach's cute tag on Day Twenty One!

  

These are my versions:

1. Snowy background with trees - paper from Decosse's Dynamite Doodles printed on card and die cut with a Tonic ATC Colllection die.
2. Snowmen coloured with Promarkers and then cut out. This image is Oddball Art Co's Chilly Willy 
3. Robins die cut from brown and red - Tattered Lace die from 2017 Advent calendar. I loved the robins with scarves in the original so I added scarves with a bit of twine.
4. Twine to match on tag to finish.

I will link these to the main hop post

Oddball Art Co is currently sponsoring Scrapping4fun Challenges #154 Winter so I will also link these there...
