Christmas Bauble

I finally succumbed and bought the Sweet Poppy Bauble stencil. Another NBUs make as this is the first time I have used it. I had a couple of false starts with colours that didn't work for me. The final version ended up being inked with Iced Spruce Distress Ink.

 

Rather than put an image in the middle of the bauble I decided on just a sentiment, which I stamped in gold. I'm sharing this over at CAS Christmas and NBUS challenge.

June Rudolph Day

Its Rudolph Day again at Scrappymo’s, only 5 more to go before the big day! So if you haven’t made a start yet on those Christmas cards, maybe you should start! 

I used a new stamp from Chocolate Baroque which I thought would make a quick and easy card. Wrong! Eventually I stamped in red and clear embossed it as it looked too flat just stamped.I found some matching red card for a mat and mounted it on a large square card. The matching bow is some old SU ribbon, added to hide where the stamp missed a bit. The sentiment is a PaperRose die.  I’m also sharing at NBUS challenge and Pixies Playground even though my snippets (the card I stamped on and the mat) are rather large!

Folksy Ornament

It's time for the May Christmas challenge at Happy Little Stampers.  Hopefully we'll all be out of lockdown by then, and it will be a distant memory. Meanwhile keep safe and keep crafting.

 

I have chosen to use the optional twist and also a NBUS stamp that was a magazine freebie a long time ago! 

Using the Misti I coloured the different parts of the stamp with markers, stamping each colour separately. Once I'd got the image inked enough I cut it out with a Penny Black frame, then mounted it on card matching the markers. Do visit the challenge blog and see what the rest of the team have made.

Edited: Thank you Darnell for your suggestion, I’m going to add it to the NBUS gallery.

Blue and Silver Bauble Tree

This was made using the Martha Stewart Bauble punch and stamp. The baubles were  stamped in silver on white and the plain ones were cut out of white glitter paper, silver glitter paper, silver mirri board and silver holographic card. layered onto navy and silver mats and finished with a silver ribbon. The card blank was from Craftwork Cards.
