WOW Christmas for Less Is More

Good morning LIMettes!

Well, I am now back to my early Saturday morning crafting after a fab 2 weeks being guest designer at Less Is More. I really tried to get around to everyone to comment, but there were just so many entries! I really don't know how Chrissie and Jen do it! So if I didn't get round to you, I really am sorry!

So this week the challenge is 

WHITE ON WHITE CHRISTMAS

So here is what I made...

Now, to be honest, the vellum Poinsettia was sat on my desk after I saw a card made with one a week or so ago, (and fell in love!) and I hadn't got round to making anything with it! 

I simply embossed a panel of card with Pretty Print and added Liquid Pearls to the centre of the flower. I haven't added a sentiment as I felt it would take something away from the pure white crispness of the card.

Supplies

Stamp - Joyful Christmas

Embossing - Pretty Print, Iridescent Ice EP

Other - Vellum

Sketch Saturday Christmas!

Good morning Sketchy fans! 

It is my turn to host the challenge this week at Sketch Saturday, and also to choose a guest designer for October. I chose the very sweet and talented Neets and you can see her card for this week's challenge here.

I am also sponsoring our challenge with some Stampin' Up goodies!

So here is my card for our challenge...

I used the lovely hostess set Warmth and Wonder for this card. I sponged in some sky using Soft Sky, then masked and stamped the trees.The snow section is 2 cut pieces of card, overlapping then highlighted with Iridescent Ice Stampin' Emboss powder. I mounted the panel onto a Cherry Cobbler card blank.

I finished with falling snow (white gel pen dots), a sentiment and some Pool Party Seam Binding.

Life is a matter of moments

Hello! Can you believe it's October already?!! It'll be Christmas soon! ;)

Anyway, I had an enjoyable couple of hours in my craft room last night after Keiran had gone to bed. Here is one of the cards I created...

I have only used one stamp set for a change! I've used Elements Of Style and I stamped it in Blushing Bride and Primrose Petals.

The sentiment is on a banner because I only went and smudged it didn't I! I finished with Blushing Bride Stitched Grosgrain and a few little pearls.

Supplies

Stamp - Elements Of Style

Ink - Blushing Bride, Primrose Petals

Ribbon - Blushing Bride Stitched Grosgrain
