Dinosaurs have to celebrate too!

My grandson is obcessed by dinosaurs so his Christmas card just had to have at least one on it.  I meant to give the dino a Santa hat, but couldn't find my stamp.  Not to worry he won't mind I'm sure.
Card created with Poundland stickers and a couple of die cut trees all mounted up on an inked background. A really super fast creation.

Challenges...

• Feeling Crafty Challenge Christmas
• Just for fun  Christmas

Have a fab day.

So much fun playing...

I couldn't resist the amazing subscription offer in Simply Cards and Papercraft.  Three stamps and all the stuff needed to start playing with guilding flakes.  Wow what a treat!  Anyway to begin with I've used the deer stamp and remembering a demo that Kay did on one of her shows created a background for the deer and then mounted my image up on some of my best Christmas papers.  Oooooooooh it was quite a decision cutting into these 12" by 12" specials I can tell you, but I'm glad I did.
The version above uses some gorgeous holly paper with gold pattern and below the same design but the silver holly pattern is printed on vellum.  How gorgeous is that?  Wish I had bought more of it.  It's been in my stash so long I can't even remember where it originated, but I love it.

and finally using gold vellum!

I don't usually do batch card making, but someone wanted two cards for their Mum and Dad at both sides of the family so it seemed like a good idea.  I did the same thing making the cards for the grandparents - see my post below.

Challenges...

• All that stickles  Happy Holidays ( stickles used to highlight tree and bushes - tried glitter first and it was too much - Stickles perfect)
• CraftyHazlenut's Christmas Challenge  anything that is urgent to make ( these were ordered so definitely a necessity!)
• Time4Scrap  Holly

Hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend.
