Christmas Card

Hi there! Its time for a brand new challenge at The Paper Shelter and this week we want to see your Christmas cards.  Here is mine:


I have used Christmas Stocking which is available here. I coloured the image with my Copics adding Star Dust Stickles then fussy cut out.  I mounted the image on a mat cut with Just Rite Vintage Labels 2 die and ran it through an embossing folder.  The sentiment is LOTV cut out with Spellbinders and matted on a Dienamics Pinking Edge Circle Die.  The paper is My Mind's Eye 12 Days of Christmas.  The bells are a Memory Box die and I used Mirri card.  Twine and bells from my stash and the flower is a very old Kay and Co embellishment.


Don't forget there is a fabulous prize on offer for one lucky winner:


Thank you so much for taking the time to look -

Delightful Thursday

Hello and welcome! Are you well underway with your holiday preparations? Here is some inspiration for Christmas cards:



I have used Candy Cane Jingles from Digital Delights available here.  I coloured him with my Copics adding some Stickles Star Dust to the candy cane.  The digital papers are by Karen Lewis called Happy Holidays.  I used Spellbinders Grand Nesties for the card shape along with Dienamics, Marianne and some more Spellbinders Dies.  The snowflakes were made with a punch, I think X cut, and I added some gold Glamour Dust to them and the tree.



Don't forget we have a new challenge started on the Digital Delights Challenge which as always is Anything Goes, we would love to see you!

Card for a Child


Hello there and a big thank you for your visit.  Today sees the start of a new challenge at The Paper Shelter Challenge with the theme this week being Card for a Child.



I used the super cute What Did I Get? image from The Paper Shelter which is available here.  Coloured with my Copics but I really can't get a good photo, the teddy is blended a lot better IRL!  The papers are Nitwits and sentiment computer generated. The little gingerbread man is an X Cut die, just love him.  Snowflake banner is Whiff of Joy die.  I also used Go Kreate XXL frilly squares, Sue Wilson Pierced Squares, Dienamics Pierced Square Stax, Spellbinders Scalloped Square.


As usual, there is a fabulous prize for the lucky winner:
