Die Cuts

For this weeks challenge at http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ it's use a die cut or punched shape.
I thought I would go really bright with this one as today is so miserable out wind, rain and dark skies

I used Tonic Dies on the yellow cuts
Tonic Punches on the flowers
The words and snowman are ready made die cuts.

Not sure who would want such a bold card on display, but it brightened my otherwise dull day.

Patterned Paper

Left the sewing alone for today and did a bit of cd card making, you forget what great images you have stored away.
This one seemed to fit the bill for  http://craftyhazelnutspatternedpaper.blogspot.co.uk/
I must admit I have been so busy on the sewing front I had forgotten how you get totally absorbed into card making, once you get stuck in. I was browsing my CD images for over an hour before I realised I hadn't eaten.

As I said this one is for entry into http://craftyhazelnutspatternedpaper.blogspot.co.uk/

February Guest DT entry for CHNC

Well it's 1st February and at last the sun is shining, will it last, I doubt it but it's nice to see it.

With this card I  am sponsoring  http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ the theme for this week is stripes and or spots, do go along and join in there are fab prizes to be won every week.

With plain grey card stock I added dotty paper, then using Calibur I cut some stripy paper, and to give it a splash of colour and a Christmassy look I added one of my free standing lace candy canes with a brad, these can be purchased from

Then just finished with a sentiment.
