From Our House to Yours at Christmas

Morning All
My turn at WoodwareWitterings again today, and this week we are showcasing Christmas cards.
The theme is actually 'From Our House to Yours', but I guess that pretty much anything Christmassy would count for that. Well I hope it will anyway lol.

My card was made using a Jane Gill stamp set JGS199 The House on the Hill.

I stamped and embossed the image onto watercolour cardstock, and coloured it using dye based inks.

I fussy cut around the image and layered it on to a piece of background from my stash using silicon.
The dots on the background were created using a Dutch Doobadoo stencil, a blending tool, some dye based ink and a little Star Dust Glitter Glue.

I also added some Puffy Stuff, which when heated looks like snow, and a Christmas sentiment.
I hope that you get plenty of Christmas inspiration from the Girls this week.
Have a great day.

Christmas for Kids Big and Small

Hi All
I'm filling in for Siobhan again this week over at Woodware where Dorothy has challenged us to make something Christmas - for Kids Large or Small.

I picked one of Francoise stamps FRS252 Huge Santa for my card.

It works brilliantly with Paper Piecing, and I don't care how big, or small a kid you are, who doesn't want to see Santa at Christmas?

The background has been made using my trusty Creative Palette, some dye based inks and bubble wrap.

The papers used on 'Santa' are from my stash and I will be able to finish several other similar cards using the leftover letters. That really is the beauty of Paper Piecing, you get more than one card from your stamped images.
The Faux Candi is made from small punched circles of matching card stock.

I added faux stitching and some 'Puffy Stuff' to Santa's hat along with some glitter. Even I have to have a bit of glitter at Christmas time lol.
Please pop along to the Woodware Blog and see what the rest of the team have come up with to inspire you.
Happy Crafting
Hugs Kimx
