how to train your reindeer!


Happy Sunday!

how are we all doing? feeling Christmasy? here its kinda a weird as its red hot so I am still confused by it. But we are all set- tree is up, lights outside, turkey in freezer...where i am wishing i was currently!

So I would like to enter my card into the following challenges-

Magnolia Forever Challenge blog- Christmas
Craft Heaven shop inspiration and challenge blog- winter wonderland
Magnolia-licious challenge blog- Anything goes with the option of Christmas
Paradise of Magnolia challenge blog- Anything goes
Paradise of Stamps- Anything goes
Deep Ocean challenge blog- Santa is coming to town

This card was made for my three year old to be on Christmas eve nephew and I wanted to make it fun and bright. I thought a shaker card would be great for him as he can interact with the card. So with it being for the little guy I used baby Rudolph as hes only little too. I coloured Rudolph with Distress Inks.

I used papers from Doodlebug Designs and its such a great collection for kids this one. Lots of fun colours and images and George loves cars, truck, wagons and all that sort of thing so it was a  must.

I used the same tutorial as always for the twist and pop card.

On the front the shaker circle is from Impression Obsession and I used shaker material from neat and tangled these colours work perfect with the papers. I added some jingle bells to one of the tags that was die cut from a Magnolia die. The snowflakes are also from Magnolia and the jingle tag is from Tim Holtz.

On the inside I used some of the little pictures that come with the collection. Perfect again for kids.

I used the Santa die from Magnolia and the Santa clothing die again (its been used a lot these two dies !) from Joy Crafts. I added snow marker on the clothes cut outs.

The rest of the card pictures are from the paper collection too.

I added a secret tag compartment like in the tutorial.

Have a great week ahead.

The Man..


Happy December people!!!

Well its finally here December is in the house!!! wow! so today we have been wrestling the lights outside and boy it was red hot out there so will sort the rest tonight when it cools!

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges-

Deep Ocean Challenge blog- Santa is coming to town
Marvelous Magnolia Challenge blog- Anything goes
Simply Magnolia- Winter
Midweek Magnolias- Anything goes
lovely hAnglar or Sweet Magnolia- pearls, gems or sparkle

So again I am back with my fave twist and pop cards! I like these for many reasons but they are also a great size to post. As most people know I am English and most of my cards go back home so it makes it easier and lot less likely that they we be damaged when in this style.

I used the cute Santa Edwin from a couple of releases ago from Magnolia. He is coloured with Distress Inks. On his beard I used the snow tex marker to make it pop and it so great to watch this come to life when you heat it. On his cuffs I added some Frantage shaved glass and I love how this twinkles and sparkles.

The papers are from the ever fab Maja Design. Its one of my fave Maja Christmas collections this one. The reds are beautiful.

On the front the gift die is from Tim Holtz and the Santa and his sleigh is from Impression Obsession.

On the inside I used the snow tex marker again on the Santa suits- the large one is from Cheery Lynne Designs. Again I used the Tim Holtz gift boxes die and the tree and Santa's head (i LOVE this die!) are from Magnolia.

Hope you have an awesome weekend.
