Hi Cookie!
Hi Guys!
Hope we are good?
I am here with a GDT for the fabulous Swedish House Crafts and a new company added to the shop called Hi Cookie these are the sweetest Christmas images and I couldn't resist the one that I used.
For this card I used the image 'Nils Reindeer Jumper' I love anything Christmas jumper wise and this little guy dressed up is just adorable! I coloured Nils with Distress inks. I had to download the Digi and print it on to watercolour paper and just to make sure the printer ink was dry I left it overnight before I coloured him up.
The papers are from Maja Design. These guys do fab Christmas papers and this collection Christmas Season is probably my fave out of all they have done. So much so I have ordered another 2 lots of it!
The dies....oh I love me some dies! These are all from Magnolia as I do have a bit of a think for Magnolia dies.
On Nils Santa hat...the trim is Marvy snow marker just to make it a bit puffy like fluff. I used the same on his Santa tache too. On the reindeer's nose I added just a touch of Ranger's Glossy accents to make it sparkle and add some dimension to it.
Finally to the tags, I popped some shabby chic red binding through and a small candy cane charm from my stash.
Now, the image comes with a sentiment but I used a different one as I kinda thought Nils is wanting to be Santa when he grows up and the Tim Holtz sentiment 'Just believe' from the December Doodles is one of my fave...ie: its used a lot!
The stocking pic on the left side of the card is from the Maja collection.
Hope you have a great week ahead.

Christmas behind every door
Hi guys!
hope we are all well and going good this Thursday?
I am here with a *whispers* Christmas card...yes I know I know...but its coming fast crafters and we know what the Christmas cards do to us!!
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges-
The official Magnolia Inspiration and Challenge blog - Christmas in August
The Alphabet Challenge blog - 'J' is for Joy or Joy fold card
Simply Magnolia Challenge blog - Anything goes with the option of a sentiment
Sweet Stampers challenge blog- Dies and/or punches
International Art and Soul- Embossing heat or dry
So this style of card is a a feature for my Christmas cards this year. Its actually a die that came with a magazine and its made my life sooooo much easier in the posting dept. It folds down flat! yes FLAT!!!!!! no more wrestling into the envelopes!!!
I used a Tilda from a Christmas collection a few back and i think she is called 'Tilda in button down coat' i cannot for life of me remember.
I coloured Tilda with Distress inks. I used papers from Maja Design 'Christmas season ' which I think out of all the Christmas papers Maja have done this has to be my fave.
Now the door....this is from Lawn Fawn and I couldnt resist. It such a fab little die isnt it and perfect for Christmas.
The other dies are all Magnolia except for the little holly spring on the front of the door which is from Impression Obsession.
I used a Cuttlebug Embossing folder on the Magnolia Poinsettia die and then sprayed these with Tattered Angels Glimmer mist in silver. Once dry I curled them and dabbed some Nuvu silver mousse on them to add a little glimmer.
Hope you have a fab week.
