Loving Christmas Wishes

Hello again, It's so cold and gloomy, that I don't want to go out of the house, so after a quick dash to Tesco to stock up my fridge and food cupboard, Now I'm tucked up indoors, chores done, spending my time either crafting or visiting all the lovely blogs I follow. I'm seeing so many wonderful creations and of course I have to have all the stamps, dies and embellishments that are needed to create them, as well as all the other 'essential' goodies that seem to find their way into my basket!! On-line ordering from all the various craft suppliers is too easy and I end up spending a fortune. I won't mention that I have loads of stamps and dies that are still unused!! - lol.

I wanted to enter the http://magnoliastamplovers.blogspot.com/ Christmas Challenge which runs until 19th November. The only requirement is to use a Magnolia stamp:


I finally inked up one of my many unused Tildas and coloured her in with Prismacolor pencils.
The doily was made with a Magnolia Doily die, the papers and card were from my stash, and I added a couple of die cuts that were sent to me free with an order from Dies to Die for - I loved the Memory Box Frostyville Border die so much that I've ordered myself one, though I'm still waiting for the postie to bring it. I used a McGill Multi Tickets punch to make the ticket and stamped a Magnolia sentiment on it, I also added a Prima 'Say it in Pearls' embellishment and finally I heat embossed some snowflakes to the doily and added crystals around the edge, and finished off with lots of sparkly.

Many thanks for coming by. Have a lovely evening.

Bye for now.

  6. Beautiful card Vicki, so sweet and pretty :)
    When I started card making a couple of years ago I didn't get what people were saying about it being addictive, but many uninked stamps, mountains of paper & drawers & baskets full of embellies later I "get it" now lol.
    I'm so pleased my tutorial helped hun, I always worry that my waffle will confuse people lol

You did make me laugh because I have loads of un-inked stamps and embellishments that I haven't used and I just love internet shopping and having it delivered, I can't wait for it to arrive!
