Hello dear friends! Welcome back to my blog. As you may know there is no December release for C.C.Designs so for this month I am looking through my stash and revisiting other sets.

Another hobby of mine is cross stitch and I love to use this on my cards for a small element and a little bit of texture. Today I have used a pattern from Durene’s cross stitch and this is a free pattern that you can find on her Facebook page. I altered it a little to fit my card.

I have used the Snowman Inchies from the November release and the little stocking is from the Elf Inchies set.

I stamped my images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and coloured them with my Arteza Everblend markers.

I hope you like today’s card and please don’t forget to check out the store and the new challenge Anything goes.

Hugs, Emma xoxo

Hello friends! I’m back today to share the Christmas cards, all 12 of them, that I have finally finished using the super cute sets Sledding Critters and Winter Wonderland Wonders By Avery Elle! I have also used the Avery Elle Picket Fence Elle-ment die set.

I have used my Arteza Everblend markers to colour these all up and I have cut all the elements out of some generic white card. For the background I used my Tim Holtz distress inks and to tone it down a little I added a layer of vellum over the top, which I have stamped and embossed white snowflakes.

I hope you like todays card. I hope to see you back here again real soon. Happy crafting!

Hello friends, I’m back today with a card I have made for the Kraftin’ Kimmie Christmas challenge.

I have used an old favourite rubber stamp for this – Gift Wrap Elf – isn’t she just the cutest! I have used the colour palette suggested for this challenge which I will leave below in case you want to join in!

Aren’t those colours just gorgeous. I wouldn’t usually use these for a Christmas card but that’s what so great about challenges, it makes you think outside the box and try something new. 🤍💜💙

For my card today I stamped her out with MFT Cement Grey Hybrid ink on Strathmore Toned Tan paper. I then used my Caran D’ache Luminance pencils to colour her up. I have used a sentiment from the C.C. Designs Elf Swissie stamp set.

I hope you like todays card. I hope you join in with the challenge and I can’t wait to see what you create. Happy crafting!

Hugs, Emma xoxo

Are you enjoying the new C.C. Designs December release so far? It’s great isn’t it! I was so excited when Christine bought out the new slim line collection. I love making scene cards so the NEW Slimline Winter scene dies were PERFECT.

For my project today I have also used the Ice Skate Fun stamp set and coordinating dies. They are just the cutest characters and perfect to use with the Slimline sets.

I hope you like today’s card and I hope you feel inspired to try these new sets yourself.

Have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year!

Hugs, Emma xxx
