Day 11 - Twelve Days of Christmas Cards Challenge

Well, here is Day 11. The challenge is coming to an end but I hope that you have been inspired to create heaps of Christmas Cards!

You can enter as many times as you like! There are prizes up for grabs too! The linky tool will be open until 12pm on the 17th of December (AEST)

Here is the card that I am sharing with you today -

This card was fun and easy to make. I drew a circle to give me an idea of where to stamp my first circles. I have used the HLS Mix Mash set to create a Christmas Wreath! The sentiment is from the HLS Mixed Christmas Sentiments and the bow was made with HLS Christmas Twine.

I can't wait to introduce the friend that is joining me for Day 11 -

Anita and I have known each other since... well it feels like forever. Anita has been on my Design Team Addicted to Stamps and More! and is currently on the CAS team at Happy Little Stampers. She is a brilliant cardmaker! Anita is another lady that I got to meet in person for the HLS Craft Retreat. How lucky am I? Anita is loving, caring, and a wonderful friend.

Day 10 - Twelve Days of Christmas Cards Challenge

Day 10! The time has flown by. I hope you have been enjoying the inspiration so far :)

You can enter as many times as you like! There are prizes up for grabs too! The linky tool will be open until 12pm on the 17th of December (AEST)

Here is the card that I am sharing with you today -

I have to say that this card gave me a lot of grief :( I was trying something new from my stash - Ranger Gold Tinsel embossing powder. This takes a bit of trial and error. Well it did for me lol. Because it is a combination of embossing powder and glitter, you have to be careful that you don't get more glitter than embossing powder when you sprinkle it onto your sentiment/image. The only way I could try and get a decent mixture is shake the bottle first and then hope for the best. I'm sure it is only me that has this problem....

After I stamped the 'Merry' from the HLS Everyday Sentiments set, I used my embossing pen to add ink where I wanted to partly emboss. I didn't get the best coverage on the first try so I just repeated what I did and it turned out pretty well. The holly is from the HLS Christmas Joy set which I coloured then covered with clear wink of stella. A few splats finished this off :)

I can't wait to introduce the friend that is joining me for Day 10 -

Darnell, I love this card! All that sparkle is so pretty! Darnell has used the Big Bold Numbers from HLS and has used them beautifully!!!

Day 9 - Twelve Days of Christmas Cards Challenge

Day 9 is up and ready to go! Have you linked up yet? There is plenty of time.

You can enter as many times as you like! There are prizes up for grabs too! The linky tool will be open until 12pm on the 17th of December (AEST)

Here is the card that I am sharing with you today -

This card was heaps of fun to make. I die cut my poinsettia then covered it with Aged Scarlet Embossing Enamel. Through a bit of trial and error, I have decided that the best way to use this on large dies like this is to cover the die cut with versamark ink, sprinkle some of the enamel powder onto a craft mat (or piece of scrap paper), then press the versamark'd side into the powder. The enamel has lots of different chunky colours through it and if you just sprinkle it on from the bottle, it doesn't mix the colours very well. By putting in onto a piece of paper I can control more of what I get in my end result. I emobssed the sentiment from the HLS Christmas Joy set in gold.

I can't wait to introduce the friend that is joining me for Day 9 -
