Christmas at Sweet Stampin - Cold & Frosty


Brrrr!.. Its still blimmin freezing here, and still too much of the white stuff knocking about too!
 
Anyway, it proved to be very inspirational and fitting weather to make a card for our monthly challenge over at Christmas at Sweet Stampin.  We are sponsored by the excellent My Mums Craft Shop, so a brilliant prize on offer this month too!
 
I stitched Memory Box christmas papers onto white bazzill card and coloured in a gorgeous Sylvia Zet (Wee Stamps) image with promarkers.  I LOVED colouring this in.  I have struggled a bit lately with my colouring mojo, as I tend to leave it to the end, and then feel under pressure to get it done before the daylight fades so I can photograph it - tut! :)  Talk about giving yourself unnecessary pressure - lol :D
 
The dies are a mix of Cheery Lynn, Memory Box, and spellbinders and the border punch is MS.
 
I hope you find time to join us this month, its good to make an early start on those xmas cards, and I think thats why I also enjoyed making this card too.
 
Now I thought I would share a couple of pictures of the Cheery Lynn Booth at the CHA show.
 
This picture is courtesy of Nigel and Rosemary Merry (Crab Apple Crafts) - who gladly obliged me (or humoured me) with hunting down the booth and uploading some pictures! lol  :)


I also nabbed a few photographs from the Cheery Lynn Facebook page   I was well chuffed to see so many of my cards on display and I thought the whole booth looked so bright and colourful.  There are some stunning designs from all of the DT, I think I would have stayed hours just looking at them all.

 
 
 
Anyway, thanks so much for visiting my blog today, stay warm and safe, and have a smashing day,

Cheery Lynn Designs - Winter Whites



Hi and Good Morning :)  I  hope everyone is having a great week so far.

Our new challenge this week over at Cheery Lynn Designs is 'Winter Whites', and so this is a lovely excuse to brighten up a dark January with a sparkling fresh card.   The winner as always will win a fabulous $20 voucher to spend online at the Cheery Lynn Store.
 
I started off with a 6 x 6 blank card base and used American Crafts textured cardstock for all the matting, layers and die cuts. 
 
I cut the elegant French Lattice Frame for the background as it added depth and always looks really stylish.  The borders are the beautiful Anastasia lace border, and to hide the join to the frame I cut a delicate strip from the Expandable Tiny Borders die plate.  This is a really useful multiple border die.
 
I coloured a cute Sylvia Zet digi image and layered onto circle stackers and the gorgeous Pinwheel Doily die.  The snowflowers are a mix of different snowflakes layered up and secured together with pearl brads.
 
All dies used on this card are:
 
 
I cant wait to see what everyone comes up with this week, and you still have plenty of time to enter our challenge.  Dont forget there is always fresh and inspirational ideas to be found on our Cheery Lynn Designs Inspiration blog too.
 
Thanks so much for visiting my blog today, and I will be back later in the week to showcase some of the AMAZING new release Cheery Lynn Dies - they are utterly brilliant! :)
 
Have a smashing week,
