Wow – how can the weeks be flying by so quickly?  5 weeks to Christmas, can’t believe it!  Luckily the Wednesday Challenges are providing me with lots of excuses to make Christmas cards so I’m slowly but surely getting through them.  This week I’ve used a House Mouse stamp for the very first time and must say, they’re so cute!  They’re not usually the style I’d pick to be honest but I had loads of fun with this card.  I coloured the image with Copics and added some sparkle with the Spectrum Noir sparkle pens and a wee touch of Stickles.  To finish off I die cut some Poinsettias from the Simon Says Stamp, some greenery from Retro Ornaments by Avery Elle  and a circle sentiment also from Simon Says Stamp.

Ok, I know what you’re going to say … how does this card fit this week’s challenge theme of Thinking of You?  Well I can’t lie … it doesn’t!  I have been pretty up against it this week after being away on holiday last week, Halloween, my daughter’s birthday etc.  I had to make my card in a rush and whilst I have used a gorgeous Penny Black die, the actual challenge theme just went … poof.. right out the window, lol!!  I hope you like it anyway, lol!!

Simon Says … Anything Goes (with Lawn Fawn)

I had a ball creating this spooky little Halloween treat box for this week’s challenge.  Lawn Fawn make amazing box dies and this one is so cute.  I can see me getting lots of use out of it in the run up to Christmas!  BUT, we’ve got Halloween to enjoy before that 🙂

This was pretty simple to put together.  I cut the box out of SSS Fog cardstock and then used the circle die from Stitched Tree Borders to make an window (I put acetate behind it to stop the candy corn from falling out!)  I then cut the tree border in black and lined it up on the box so it falls in front of the window. I created the sentiment from Milo’s ABC’s which is heat embossed in white and then finished  off with a wee bit of Doodlebug twine in Beetle Black!
