Paper Mug for Christmas

 Hi it's my time to share at Die Cut Divas - our sponsor this month is Lawn Fawn and our challenge is Critters.  

My project today is a sweet little Christmas Mug 

I saw this video on You Tube by Christy Gets Crafty - Isn't this a cute little gift Mug.   It used two sheets of 6" patterned paper.    It's really easy to follow Christy video.  I die cut the tag from a Spellbinders die set and stamped the sentiment from Lawn Fawn - Cozy Cats Christmas Add on.  Stamped the little Kitty, his antlers and the present onto some scrap white card.  I used alcohol markers to add colour and die cut them out before adding to the tag.   Had fun making this and I'm sure I'll be doing some more - adding some chocolates as a gift. 

Do come and join us at Die Cut Divas with Critters and don't forget to use your die cut machine.  

Herd it's your birthday...

 It's a Critter Challenge at Die Cut Divas this month and we want to see your critters,..real or imaginary ones - so fun!

Our sponsor is Sunny Studio and for my card today, I've used Miss Moo mini stamp and matching die. 

I used a free clipart barn and printed onto some white card and then used a mini slimline die to cut it out.  I masked it off and added some Altenew ink blending for the background.  I stamped and die cut two cows and used some Spectrum Noir Aqua pens to add colour.  I stamped, coloured and die cut the little flowers too.  Just love the sentiment from this little set.   It's the cutest mini stamp and die set, so a super good price point. 

Do come and join us with your Critters... just remember to use your die cut machine for something on your card.  

Animal Antics at Christmas Kickstart Challenge.

This month at Christmas Kickstart, the challenge is "Animal Antics"  - they want to see animals playing in the snow. 

Hubby tidied up the storage space under the stairs that is accessed through my craft room and made the access to the set of storage drawers that are in there, much easier.  Lots of old stamps are in there including lots of freebie sets from magazines.   So I had a look and found a freebie set that had some penguins and a seal as well as a polar bear.   I used the two penguins and the seal to make my card.

I stamped the little critters and then masked them while I used a hill mask I made, and blended some blue ink to make my snowbanks. I removed the masks and used some alcohol markers to colour them in.  I added some Nuvo Crystal drops in Simply White along the edges.  The little snowflakes are from another magazine freebie - stamped in a soft blue ink.  The sentiment is from the same freebie set as the critters.

Another Christmas card added to the stash.   Time to do some card making other than Christmas cards!

 

Critter challenge at Southern Girls.

I'm back with my DT card for Southern Girls Challenge...

I used a sweet little image from All Dressed Up called Christmas Penguins

 

I printed the image onto some Canson Mi-teintes paper and used my Prismacolour pencils to colour.  I die cut with Lil Inkers stitched rectangle dies.
