There's Tartan Trees for Christmas Craft Creations

 Hello and Welcome!

Here is this month's Theme for

Christmas Craft Creations

I have once again gone CAS using some of my

precious Tartan Designer Paper - like how scraps

come in handy like they did here.

Die cut my trees, adding a silver snowflake

and adding small strips of that paper to the side.

Attached to shimmery card stock and white card base.

Have you checked out the gallery to see 

what my Team Mates created?

It's always fun to see how they inspire you with their creations.

Hope to see yours there! I know how we all have

so much designer paper eh! No excuse!

Thanks for visiting

'tis a Merry Christmas

 It's time for our New Challenge over at

Christmas Craft Creations

Our Theme for the Month is 

Stencils or Embossing Folder.

Unfortunately purple never comes out true in a photo.

Craft time of late has been very limited with

caring for hubs failing heath so CAS it is for my

card for this month's challenge.

I used kraft paper, purple card stock,

an old CB embossing folder, purple ribbon,

and big Christmas die to complete.

Head over to our Blog and check out

what my team mates created for you

and come join in with yours to the Gallery.

'Sparkle' this Christmas

 Welcome to a New Year of Challenges for

Christmas Craft Creations

I know Christmas has just passed but 

let's start all over again with this month's fun Theme!

This is my first for the year!

and a closer look at the 'sparkle' which is 

sooooooooo hard to photograph.

I saw this sparkly creation on YouTube Here

and as our Theme asks for Sparkle

I thought it fun to case it.

I used matte gel medium as adhesive then added my 'sparkle'

sequins and tiny brightly coloured star sequins

to add extra pop of colour.

Sentiment is also brightly inked with Versafine Clair

and heat embossed clear.

Attached to coloured card base.

Head over to our Blog and check out

how the Team created their 'sparkle'

Come join in the New Year fun.

Silver Decorations for Christmas

It's sooooooooooo close to Christmas

and I am sure you haven't finished your cards yet have you?

 Christmas Craft Creations have their last challenge for the year

so a great chance to quickly finish them up by entering our

Christmas Decorations Theme

I went with an old CB embossing folder for my background

then added a MFT oval die that I had

adhered my silver Christmas Decorations to.

Die cut the Merry Christmas sentiment.

Framed in silver onto white card base.

A really CAS card that would be so easy

to do multiples of.

Hop over and check out what has been added to

Our Blog by the Talented Design Team.

Hope to see yours there.

Thanks for visiting throughout the year

with your kind comments.

May you have a

Merry Christmas 

with Family and Friends and I will be back

in the New Year to do it all over again.

A Jolly Gnome's Christmas

It's time for our New Challenge at

 Christmas Craft Creations

I got out one of my cute Gnome stamps from Poppy Crafts,

 did a 'little' colouring and

fussy cut his hat from scrap DP

I popped him on top of a white SB die

and added a red frame behind it.

Thought a sparkly heart would be a nice touch.

Added a shaped DP piece as backing on white card stock

and adhered to red card base.

Christmas Time is fast approaching so we really

should have started making those cards for Family and Friends

Have You?

If not how about getting those supplies out for starters

and play along with this month's Monochromatic Challenge at

Christmas Craft Creations

I decided to case a card I did for CCC in March last year Here

It is such an easy one to make. This time I changed the colours

and a few other things as you see below.

I changed the card base to blue, heat embossed my

STAMPlorations Large Flower

with white embossing powder

masking and inking with Tim's Mermaid Lagoon.

Sponged inside the flower to highlight.

Added splattered snow with posca pen,

Shimmer and Liquid Pearls to centre of flower.

Sentiment is from Happy Little Stampers,

Cut corners and adhered to white card base.

Welcome CHRISTMAS!

What's the Theme for this month at

Christmas Craft Creations 

It's another easy one (for some)

Clean and Simple!

You will notice that my trees are the same shape as last month - 

that's because I made both cards at the same time using

the same die set. Can't get it easier than that.

Die cut my two trees and attached to kraft card stock.

Added a wee star and a white embossed snowflake.

Sentiment is a very old SU one I forgot I had

till just recently.

Attached to kraft card base and my CAS card is done!

Head over to see what the Team created and

come join in. You are never toooo early

to get some CAS Christmas card rolling out.

Thanks for the visit.

Season's Greetings!

What's HOT at Christmas Craft Creations?

What IS hot at Christmas Craft Creations this month?

We are looking for Heat Embossing!

It may be warming up in the Northern Hemisphere

but not in my neck of the woods where a

warm cosy fire is so inviting.

Once again I got out my favourite ARTplorations stag stencil.

 Background is smooched with 

Nuvo Solar Flare shimmer powder

and stencilled with Ranger transparent matte texture paste

from Tim Holtz

Stag was inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne and

sprinkled with black glitter while wet.

Die cut Merry from Tim's Holiday Words dies

and finished by adhering to white card base.

Santa's Elfs at Work!

We are looking for a bit of Humour this month 

for our Christmas cards at Christmas Craft Creations

 

I had a load of fun making this card.

The stamp set is from STAMPlorations

Whoever made the elfs legins didn't knit them

very well as all the colours are mixmatched.

(that was fun)

in red green and silver.

The boots have a touch of glitter.

Added various fun sentiments and

sequins and gems to finish.

Hope you find time to add your

humour card to our Gallery this month

when you see what the Design Team created.

Thanks for the visit.

In the 'Pink' at Christmas Craft Creations

I saw this card over on Pinterest quite a long time ago

 took my inspiration from that.

Used Spellbinders dies for my snowflake,

inked background in Versafine from retired SU Snow Burst, 

sentiment backed with pink strips, misted with perfect pearls

 and sequins to complete.

Christmas Snippets

It's our first Challenge for 2023 at Christmas Craft Creations

our Christmas card making for last year.

'Snippets'

Here's mine!

All dp used here are leftover bits (snippets).

Die cut five trees, adhered to white cardstock,

framed in red and corner rounded as is the 

one background piece. Both adhered to

white and red card base.

Merry die/sentiment is from Her Arts

and finished with a red bird.

After our recent DT call out we have

welcoming comments for our Newbies.

The Theme for our December Challenge at

Christmas Craft Creations is Gnomes.

I only had one lonely gnome stamp but

lucky for me our local craft store had a

special on them recently (and with dies yay)

in plenty of time to create for our last challenge of the year.

I knew the paper I wanted to use here.

It's Boofle with lots of tartan and other gorgeous pages.

My bff brought it back from England

many years ago and use it sparingly.

I inked my gnome with Versafine Clair Nocturne

and heat embossed clear.

Inked again on one of the dp's

and fussy cut his hat, boots and mittens.

His beard is layered lightly with Liquid Pearls.

Added a touch of shimmer with a gel pen

and gloss.

Popped him onto a MFT die cut, added

three Merry dies and a heart to finish.

Head over and see what my Team Mates created.

Look forward to seeing your gnomes in our Gallery.

Thanks for your encouraging and kind comment

throughout the year.

Merry Christmas and as the Scots say

A Guid New Year Tae Yin An Awe

See you in 2023. 

PS So looking forward to watching the

Edinburgh Military Tattoo once more.

I had fun here tearing off bit of

colourful 'washi tape' to sit behind my

splatters of blue and gold.

Sentiment is from Tim's Great Outdoors.

Inked the edges and adhered to

It's a White Christmas!

Hello and welcome to today's post for 

Christmas Craft Creations

Our Theme this month is White on White

There is something magical about an all white card

especially a Christmas one.

I got out my favourite Spellbinder Poinsettia dies

and for some snowy shimmer added

Lindy's  Milky Way White Magicals to my flower and

the foliage dies behind it.

I dry embossed a sentiment strip to the background

(a freeby from a magazine)

Did you see the little birdie sitting on the branch?

Shame it couldn't be a red one.

Adhered to white card base.

Head over and see more white magic from

my Talented Team Mates.

We would love to see yours in our Gallery..
