A Sweet Pea Christmas!

Christmas is not too far away now, so here is a Christmas card I have made. The gorgeous stamp is "Holly Fairy" from Sweet Pea Stamps and she is designed by Ching Chou Kuik. She is coloured in with copic markers (as always!) and copic spicas. I have embossed my Christmas sentiment with metallic silver embossing power and used silver metallic brads on the flower and on my stamped image. Sweet Pea Stamps has a new blog called 'In a Sweet Pea Dream' and the theme this fortnight is "all about Christmas" so I am entering this card into that challenge. I am also entering this into the fabulous 'Christmas Stampin' All Year Long' blog where the theme this week is 'something metallic'.

Double Pouch Bag and Matching Card

This post is a little different! I have created a double pouch bag and matching card for the challenge at Christmas Stampin' All Year Long. I loved this challenge becuase it made me try something I have never done before; a bag! I love Christmas and I adore Gingerbread Men so used them on my bag and card. My gorgeous gingy men stamps are from Hooked on Craft and I used C-0009 Gingy on my card and C-0012 Gingy on my bag. How cute is the gingerbread man sitting on the marshmellow? I have put them both on tags to keep in with the Christmas spirit! I have also used cute little gingerbread men glass pebbles and my Martha Stewart gingerbread man border punch.The tutorial for how to make a double pouch bag can be found here. Please let me know what you think!

Here is the bag and card set together:

Borderbilities - Christmas Stampin' All Year Long!

I made this card for the challenge at Christmas Stampin' All Year Long which is to create a card using any type of border punch. I just love this challenge blog's moto of "where the spirit of Christmas never ends"! How sweet is that? Anyway, back to my card, I have used a Martha Stewart border punch and a very cute stamp called "Lily Snowflake Fairy" from Pink Cat Studio.
