Bah Humbug challenge - white on white

 

Well we are back home after having a lovely week in the New Forest with our grandchildren, Andy and I are both 'cream crackered'.....The weather couldn't have been better glorious sun shine apart from Thursday morning.  Its so good to get back to crafting...the washing and ironing can wait until tomorrow...lOl...lOl..  Sorry for the lack of comments on your blogs but I had no service on my laptop PC while away..

This weeks Bah Humbug challenge is White on White....its the first time I have ever done a card completely in white.  For my card I've used the Cuttlebug Christmas tree Emossing folder and also the snow one. On the side border I've used SU eyelet border punch and added a little bit of ribbon.  The ponsettia is a Marianne die...on the christmas tree I've just added a few pearls...

Bah Humbug........Snowmen

This weeks Bah Humbug challenge is Snowmen.
The stamp is a Hobby Art one and is called 'Juggling Snowman'.....have painted him with Copic pens, glittered his hat, used glitter snow for the bottom and put minature pom poms for the snowballs. Large scallop circle nesties have used to mount him on.
The backing paper I think is Papermania, the snowflake die is the large Cuttblebug Snowflake die with a papermania brad in the centre, Cuttlebug swiss dots across the centre with a couple of card candy dots on. Sentiment is computer generated.

This little stamp comes from the SU set 'Oh so lovely'. Stamped and coloured with polychromos pencils. Blue card and backing paper is also from SU.
Sentment comes from the SU 'Pocket Silhouettes' set then punched out using SU window punch with another blue piece behind it giving it a 'shadow' effect. Cuttlebug Swiss dots embossing folder also used for background.
Ribbon and gems from stash.

Play Day.....

I've had a lovely day stamping with my friend Val W.
We did a lot of chatting but also managed to complete 2 projects, one being a Watering Can which you can find the tutorial for on Splitcoast Stampers, and also a Christmas gift bag which I made from bags given to me by the lovely Jenny Moors, thank you Jenny.
The bags made are for children but if making them for 'grown ups' you can really go to town and put lots of glitz and sparkle on. The stamp set used on both these project is SU Season of Joy, all SU card and designer papers have also been used and of course SU oval punches! Cuttlebug flower dies. We also made a Christmas 'Peek a Boo' card but I need to complete that.

It's difficlut to scan these two cards as they both have holographic card.

The first card is another Creative Stamping stamp just stamped in light and dark turquiose, 4 layers layers have been cut and mounted on foam pads, then a holographic circle Nestability.
A few pearly gems have been added, the backgroud is the Swiss dots from Cuttlebug and a small punched flower in the corner with a brad in the middle. Dotty ribbon from my 'stash' and then the card has been edged iwith Versa Magic Sea Breeze chalk pad.

And Yes a Christmas card, this is a Pergamano Snowflake rubber stamp which can easily be used as a medallion stamp, image has been stamped onto acetate twice then glittered, and second layer has been cut and mounted with Pinflair glue. Two Nestabilities used for layering up, a scallop circle in holographic and standard circle in black pearlised card. SU oval punches and a computor generated message, background is the Cuttlebug snowflakes and black & silver spotty card, and silver holographic ribbon.
