Christmas Kickstart Challenge - Out of the Woods

Dia daoibh!

There is something downright lovely about getting a card in the post. A stamp costs the same as a chocolate bar, but a card lasts longer, causes no guilt, and will not leave you staring into an empty wrapper thinking that escalated quickly.

I am absolutely chuffed to bits to say I am the Guest Elf for March over on the Christmas Kickstart Challenge blogHuge thanks to Jo for the invite, because I am thrilled altogether. The theme this month is Out of the Woods, which is great fun and gives plenty of room to play. Please do join in and pop over for a look, because the inspiration is seriously class and will have you digging through your craft supplies like you know exactly where everything is. You probably do not, but we can all pretend.

 

Now onto my card:

The background design is from the Lovely Studio, and it is a gorgeous kraft card with polka dots that does a lot of the heavy lifting for you. The stamps are from Purple Onion Designs, and I used Chilliezgraphy by Pei - Christmas Present, along with Stacey Yacula Studio - Lights, all stamped with Memento ink. The sentiment was stamped with Versafine ink for a lovely crisp result. Everything was coloured with Promarkers, then embellished with Glossy Accents and finished with Nuvo White Blizzard Drops, because Christmas cards should sparkle, even if the weather outside does not.

Do head over to the Christmas Kickstart Challenge blog and have a look at all the fabulous inspiration and join in yourself. Go on, sure you might as well, because future December You will be walking around like you invented Christmas cards, casually mentioning you made them months ago, and pretending this level of organisation is completely normal.

Sláinte,
Wendy R.

Ever Thine, Ever Mine!

Dia daoibh!

Fun February fact. It is the only month that regularly forgets how many days it is meant to have. Twenty eight. Sometimes twenty nine. Absolute chaos. Yet it still expects romance, hearts, and emotional commitment. The nerve 😉.

My card is for Challenge #103 over at Ally’s Angels where the theme is Anything Goes. The DT have amazing creations this round and they are seriously inspirational. Well worth a look.

I used the Anita Jeram Ever Thine stamp set from Colorado Craft Company . It is sweet, cosy, and full of feel good vibes. I coloured the image with Promarkers, keeping everything soft and cheerful. I kept the design very CAS and let the image do the talking. I added pearl drops for a touch of elegance, Glossy Accents for some shine, and a die cut bow to finish it off nicely. Clean, simple, and no fuss. Exactly how February cards should behave.

A few challenges:
Crafty Calendar February: Love Is In The Air
Sweet Stampin No Designer Paper 
Cardz 4 Galz #269: Hugs and Kisses 
C.R.A.F.T. #773: Love / Anything Goes
Creative Knockouts #564: Love, Valentines, Anniversary
Just Us Girls #810 - Word Week: Valentine

All in all, a fun little card with big February energy. Short, sweet, and finished before the month disappears again.

Sláinte,
Wendy R.
