Little Rudolph


Eeeeek I just love Christmas, especially with all of the gorgeous images that seem to jump into my shopping basket!!!! This adorably quirky little guy is Little Rudolph by Bloobel Stamps, he just puts a smile on your face when you see him :)

My card is unusually CAS for me but this guy needed to be the star of the show, a simple layered Make it Crafty chipboard sentiment coloured up, a snowfall embossed background and some festive washi tape was all I needed. Hope you love him as much as I do.

The Cutest Reindeer Around


Check out this adorable new Sprite from Aurora Wings - this is Reindeer Sprite and seriously could he GET any cuter?!?!?!?!

Aurora Wings Challenge #61


It's time for another challenge from Aurora Wings and this time we're using...

No automatic alt text available.

I decided to use the adorable Christmas Chihuahuas and mixed in some gold metallic paint, gold metallic glitter embossing and gold metallic card to cover the brief. It's a bit sad that the gold paint doesn't show it's rich glow so well in the main photo but you can see it a little better in the close up.


Don't forget to check out the rest of the AMAZING DT inspiration on our BLOGWe also have a very active Facebook Fan Group with additional contests, challenges and inspiration.  We hope to see you there. 

You can find this image and more in the Aurora Wings Etsy Store or the Online Store.

Light Up Gingerbread House


As soon as I saw Betty's Gingerbread House from Simply Betty Stamps I knew I wanted to play with my chibitronic LEDs again and give it a light up window....those elves have orders to get done for Christmas and now there's no 'low light' excuses. 


It's such fun and reminds me of my high school days making circuits in my electronics classes. My Favorite Things have a great YouTUBE clip on how to 'light up' your creations HERE.

Downunder Elf Debbie in Non-Traditional Colours


There are 18 fun new Christmas images from Simply Betty Stamps in the NEW section of the store. The whole DT have been turned into Santa's helpers and this is 
Downunder Elf Debbie. It's great to have a Christmas image perfect for those of us who live in countries where it's hot at Christmastime. Today I've coloured her in less traditional colours but with a little hint of the traditional.

Along with all the DT elves there are also some stand alone Christmas elements and I'm having fun playing with one or 2 at the moment.

Challenge me a Christmas Card - with Michelle Lupton & Friends


My friend Michelle Lupton is running a Christmas card challenge with friends and today I am playing along with her. Our challenge today is "Deck the Halls", you can check out Michelle's card for the challenge HERE.


I chose this gorgeous image from Teddy Bo to use because to me "decking the halls" is all about decorating the house up for Santa's visit, so I felt this image fit the bill. I also added some "boughs of holly"to the top corner as per the line in the Christmas carol. Sadly the Teddy Bo shop has shut down but I love the images I have and will keep playing with them.


Just for a bit of fun I also decided to experiment with my new chibitronics LED light up system to add a "glow" in the fireplace. The large sparklet acts as the switch to light up the LED when it's pressed.

Halloween Mug Swap Reveal Day & Blog Hop


It's time for the reveal of the Halloween Mug Swap organised by Betty from Simply Betty Stamps. We were given this fabulous digi called Witchy Brew to create a card to send to our swap partner. We were also asked to send along a Halloween themed mug and some other Halloween goodies. This is the card and mug I sent to my swap partner Lea Wilkin.


I created the decal on the mug using water slide transfer paper and this tutorial. I checked with Betty BEFORE doing this as I needed to check that it didn't go against her TOU. It's always a good idea to do this with these sort of techniques. I finished off with some glitter silver vinyl lettering I cut using my silhouette to personalise the mug. 


And below is the absolutely GORGEOUS card and mug I received from Lea and I want to thank her publicly for my fabulous parcel. I'm not going to show the goodies than came along with it as I don't want to make anyone jealous :) , although the 2 little rats were a fun part of the parcel, making me jump as they flew out of the pack as I was unwrapping it LOL. 


Check out the other blogs participating in the swap by following the Blog Hop list below....
