Hey!  It’s the 3rd Thursday so that means it’s time to Get Cracking For Christmas!  Jenn, Libby, Chari, Cheiron and myself have been challenging ourselves all year to try and get ahead on our holiday cards and I’m not gonna lie, I’ve not been the best this year at keeping my promise to myself to make a Christmas card every month – must do better!  At least I have a few though – and here’s another to add to my bundle!

I used a stamp set of my own design from Avery Elle called Holiday Skates.  I’m really rubbish at ice skating but I do love to see skates hanging all festive and gorgeous at this time of year!

I used some patterned paper from the Avery Elle Holiday paper pad and arranged my images how I wanted using foam tape and adhesive.

I finished off with a simple sentiment and some subtle shimmer using Copic Spica pens.

Make sure you pop over to the other girls and see what festive inspiration they have for you this month

Hey there, this week we’re showcasing the gorgeous Cocoa Stand  stamp set from the Avery Elle Fall release.  I just LOVE Heather’s Peek-a-Boo designs and the Cocoa Stand set may be my favourite so far!  That cute polar bear just makes me melt!
I started with a white card base and blended some Tumbled Glass distress ink to give a hint of snowy sky and splattered some white paint over it so add some subtle snowfall.
I stamped the images I wanted for my card in New Moon dye ink and then coloured them with Copics before die-cutting.

So with the best of intentions I have been RUBBISH at keeping up with the promise to myself to make a Christmas card every month from January to December.  The third Thursday rolls round and I’m out of time time AGAIN!

Not this month though!  I’ve DONE it!  I’ve managed to add one card to my meagre collection of Christmas cards, and here it is!

I broke and oldie but goodie stamp set, Holiday Bouquet from Avery Elle which I still love to colour (I know I’m biased because I designed it but hey, shoot me!!)

Make sure you pop along to the other girls that have been WAY better at this this year than me … Jenn, Libby and Cheiron.
