LIM.............Jingle All the Way !!!

Here is my challenge for the current  Less is More challenge and this one is....

Jingle all the Way

My image is Aurora Wings Holly Sprite and I coloured her with Copics. The DP are from Simon Says Stamp Kit and the sentiment is a very old one from Cornish Heritage Farms.

Simon Says..............Anything Goes !!!

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

ANYTHING GOES

ADDED

Iv'e managed a better photograph - it's a little lighter today!!

I really wanted to use the Simon Says Stamp with Clearly Besotted Christmas Character Set - I die-cut and stamped all the images but couldn't make my mind up which one/s to use. Problem solved - use them all!!! I made a 'Card in a Box'

I coloured the images with Copics, the cardstock is KaiserCraft Pitter Patter. I had a problem about showcasing Lawn Fawn - I had a paper pad on my shopping list - it was out of sale at the time and forgot to re-order it again - what I did have was a Lawn Fown Grassy Border Lawn - I turned it upside down sparkled it and now it's Icicles - I hope you have a good imagination!!!

Please ignore the couple of cat hairs a the top of the box and a slightly scrunched snowflake - my friend (Chaster cat) has been helping me crafting!!!

Everybody Art Challenge...........A Snowflake !!!

Another experiment that has gone wrong - it was gorgeous in my head - on real live not!!!

Photographing it was a nightmare - I've tried again this morning but not with success.

I used acetate to stamp the Lots of Snowflakes with Clearsnap Frost White.

I added an older Tilda sat snowflake watching - on the inside of the acetate to give it depth.

On the inside is added a MFT label with a Simon Says Stamp Merry Christmas Die and added a American Crafts white satin ribbon

This colour is Simon Says Stamp cardstock Shades of Gray

In reflection I should have used black card on a gray Label and the Die on black - I think although it looks great IRL!!!

House Mouse & Friends...........Mid-Week challenge - add a little Sparkle !!!

Less is More........More than One tree !!!

Just a very quick, easy card for the  Less is More challenge, I intended to find my tree stamps - I had them out, put them away - errr, somewhere - I really must stop moving thing around!!! I decided to use some stamps is from Indego Blu, a set called  'Here Comes Santa' and I stamped the Christmas tree on a piece of patterned DP from my stash. I add them a  fluorescent star at the top of each card and added the sentiment from the stamp set.

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

This month we are showcasing our own  SIMON SAYS STAMP products - I wanted to use so many of them but I didn't have a card big enough!! I decided to use their Thank You Ticket, Clustered Leaves, Grid Border & Forest Tree as they suited well with the Tiddly Inks Faiary Tender Hearted which I coloured with Copics. I love the new Thank You Ticket and decided to cut the ticket in half and joined the two halves together.

I used the Simon Says Cardstock in Sea Glass for the base and their  Lavender for accents along with Kaisercraft Pitter Patter Designer papers.  The flowers were make with  Memeory Box Cherry Blossom and Fanciy Blossoms - they used the Simon Says Premium Dye Ink Lavender/Purple to colour.
