C and D are for... DT cards for ABC Christmas Challenge.

Hi out there, are you ready for some new letters?

Wilma is hosting this months challenge at

ABC Christmas Challenge and the themes are:

C is for CANDY!

&

D is for DECORATIONS!

 My 'C for Candy' card is made with a digi stamp from Stamp Fairy.

The 'sweet' papers are from Maja Design.

 

This image is coloured up a long time ago,

but sooo perfect for the C challenge.

I have used this sketch for my card,

it's from CAS(E) this sketch.

My 'D for Decoration' card is made with a 

Penny Black image and papers from 

My Mind's Eye.

 

The colour red is not so pink as it looks here.

The sentiment means 'Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year'.

That means two lucky random winners

For one lucky winner.

For another lucky winner.

Calorie free candy cane, a DT card for ABC Christmas Challenge.

I can't believe how quick this year has gone, we are up to the letter Y

at ABC Christmas Challenge. It seems to me like we started 

with A a few weeks ago. 

If you have been a regular participant you should have 

at least 20 cards in your pile by now.

And still we have the letters Y and Z left- that means two more cards.

Back to the Y which is for

You make it !

(Make your own embellishments)

Our sponsor Stamp Fairy has kindly given the team some images 

to  play with, thank you Gerda.

 

I have used this cute Clementine Winter with the candy cane 

from Stamp Fairy. She is coloured with Prisma Colors.

The papers are from Maja design and the red bow

is recycled from a box of something.

 

Here a close up at my calorie free mini candy canes, enjoy !

They are made by twisting the red and white chenille stems together and

 bending one end. Trim with wire cutters or scissors if neccessary 

(DON'T use your good scissors!).

The sentiment is from LOTV.

The back side is like this today.
I love the shape of this Go Kreate die.

Twelve Days of Christmas, DT card for ABC Christmas Challenge.

It's Wednesday and the ABC Christmas Challenge team with

 Lacey as the host are ready with a new challenge for you.

The letter for today is T and stands for

Twelve Days of Christmas.

We want you to find inspiration for your creation 
in this Christmas song:

On the twelfth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Twelve drummers drumming,
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a-milking,
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree!

I guess you all are singing along.

My inspiration is 'Twelve Drummers Drumming'
 and I have used a sponsor image from Stamp Fairy
for my card. Lenny Music, it's called.

He's a cutie and a dream to colour.

The papers are from My Mind's Eye.

Buttons are from Basic Grey, ribbon from my stash.

The border die with stars are made with a die from Magnolia.

The sentiment is from LOTV.

All edges are distressed with  Vintage Photo.

The back side with my personal stamp.

I have used Oktober month's sketch from Stempeleinmaleins

for my card.

N for Not A Card, DT project for ABC Christmas Challenge.

Hello crafters, ABC Christmas Challenge here trying to save
the summer with a brand new challenge for you.

The weather here at my place is definitely great for crafting-
better than sunbathing and swimming!

But hopefully the summer will come. Those of you having fine
summer weather, please send some of it my way.


Wilma is hosting this challenge and
today's letter is N and the theme is


N for not a card.


I'm so looking forwards to be seeing your
creations for this challenge.

If you are in need of some inspiration, please take
a look here and see what my talented teamies have made.

Stamp Fairy is one of our sponsors and has kindly
given the team some images to use for this challenge.

I decorated a round box, using papers from Maja Design
and Clementine Winter from Stamp Fairy.

Darling Clementine is painted with Distress Reinkers,
and there's a lot of Stickles on the snow.

She is cut out because I wanted to emboss
the white background with a almost
new snowflake folder from Cuttlebug.

For once I have distressed the edges on the papers.

The original box was wooden colour, so first I painted it white.

The red ribbon fit perfect for the edge of the lid.
The text says 'Happy Christmas'.
I guess you could translate it yourself.

Please bear over with me, I'm showing you a lot of
photos today, of the box from different angles,
but I really love how it turned out.

The beautiful swirl snowflake border is made with a
die from Memory Box. It was a bit difficult
to cut it out, but with a bit of patience I did manage.

The ticket sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps, and the round
one in the bottom of the box saying 'Best wishes for a happy
Christmas and a happy new year' is from Unik Stempel Design.

I had to find a place for my usual 'Handmade by' stamp.

We have to sponsors for this challenge.

Easter basket , GDT for Stamp Fairy.

This is my third post as a GDT at Stamp Fairy.

Todays release is a collection of cute
Easter bunnies and a freebie.

I have made this little cute Easter basket,
using a tutorial from Stamp Fairy.
It's on the blog for you to download.

My papers are some old ones from My Mind's Eye.

I have added white Fun Flock to the clothes, and for the
eggs he's holding, I have used some of the wrapping
from the chocolate eggs in the basket.

I admit I had to have a taster.
(I was going to use the paper.)

And the eggs was delicious !

For the edge I have used a punch from Martha Stewart.
For the inside of the basket I made some grass and put in between the eggs.

Here you can see the basket from another angel.

I've made a round easel card having a great time making it.

The largest circles are made with a circle cutter.

And for once we managed to cooperate
the cutter and I!

The papers are from Little Yellow Bicycle, so lovely.
The grass is made with a die from Magnolia
and I have added Glossy on to the eggs and Barry's nose.
