ATSM - ANYTHING GOES

Hello! It's Wednesday which means there is a brand new challenge over at Addicted to Stamps and More.

It's your favourite -

ANYTHING GOES!

That's right! Create anything you like and link up over at the challenge blog.

Here is my DT card -

Not one stamp on this card!

My first Christmas card for the year. It is never too early but it is nice to have a bit of a break! 

I have used the retired SU stocking punch (that I bought through the clearance rack as it was as cheap as chips) and glitter paper. 

The background has been emobossed with a folder that I have never used before. 

Glitter paper was used for the die cut sentiment. Bakers twine was the finishing touch.

Our sponsor this week is

The prize is 5 free digis!

We are also happy to welcome Dawn from Lily Pink Scraps as our Guest Designer this week.

Pop on over to the challenge blog to see plenty more inspiration. Even though it is Anything Goes, it is hard to decide what to do! Perhaps we can provide you with a little help :)

Last but not least, I would like to enter my card into the following challenges -

Crafting from the Heart #6 - Anything Goes / Use Red

Thanks so much for looking xx

Merry Monday #23

I kept going with the Touch Twin Markers and decided I had to do Santa!

I didn't really plan ahead very well for this sketch lol. I decided I had to move the sentiment towards the bottom of the card because of the size of the stamp I had used. I stamped the sentiment with Real Red and then clear embossed.

I had a lot of fun making yet another christmas card.

You can find the challenge HERE

Merry Monday #22

Well the last couple of days have been blowy and raining. Gave me the chance to do a card!

Here is the challenge at Merry Monday #22 and this is my card

I was really hoping that my new circle dies would show up in the mail today otherwise I would have been cutting out by hand again. When they didn't arrive, I decided to keep it nice and simple without the circle.

Merry Monday #21

I had a lot of fun (again) making this Christmas Card. It was a bit fiddly for me because I don't have any circle or snowflake dies. So, I cut them out by hand. Don't look too close!! LOL

The challenge this week at Merry Monday was a sketch. You can find the challenge here - Merry Monday #21

This is the card I came up with

Merry Monday #20

Talk about having withdrawals!! I've had a huge week helping with the Fire Brigade. This morning I got all the housework done and have now settled down to craft (you guessed it) YAY.

I started by having a look around for the challenges that had been posted. This is the first one that I have finished. It's a challenge at Always Playing with Paper - Merry Monday #20

I had a terrible time trying to photograph this card - I was trying to show the gold embossing. Hopefully you can tell just a little :)

Thanks for looking

Merry Monday #19 - Sketch

Well, it's getting late... I have just finished my challenge for Always Playing with Paper - Merry Monday #19

Using the sketch provided for the challenge, I decided to do a very Australian theme. You can't get more Aussie than Santa going for a surf at Christmas time!

This is the first time I have entered this challenge. My main love in cardmaking is creating Christmas cards and it's never to early to do so! I have a feeling I'm going to love these challenges at Always Playing with Paper lol.

Goodnight!!!
