Ho Ho Ho Ho

I wasn't sure if one of the colors in the palette was a dark brown or a black so I've sort of covered both with the tag and background paper.

Beccy's  Place - Month of Holiday Cards
https://beccysplace.blogspot.com/2022/11/a-month-of-holiday-cards-challenge.html

I have used a paper from a paper pad by Rosie's Studio.  The image and sentiment are from QKR Stampede.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I also added some Glossy Accents to the lights and baubles.


Joy To The World

This is another scrap card using the pieces cut out for apertures.  This one comes from the Octagonal Tower Card from Day 17.

Warm Wishes

Day 25 and the 23rd letter of the alphabet - W.  I found a different fold for W that I haven't used before.

This is the card closed:

Deck The Halls

I realised that it is within a week of the end of the month, and if I am going to use all my scraps by then that I need to do some more cards with what I have so far.  I may end up with uploading a few scrap cards in the next few days while the weather is still not the best.  It is really hard to believe that it is the start of summer next week!

I have used scraps from the November cards for Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards.  I also added an image from Beccy's Place (from retired set called Blessings of The Season) and some stickers.

I followed a tutorial by Sam Calcott.

 

So Very Merry

I saw a tutorial for something a little bit different for the letter V recently.  This is from a different person than the tutorials I usually do.  I had chosen this fold well before today and wasn't looking forward to doing this one but in the end turned out to be a lot easier than it looked.  The trickiest part was adding the base to the main vase - probably because of the glue that I used.

Merry Christmas

It looks like it is going to be another wet day again today.  It cleared for a bit yesterday and was quite windy so I managed to get some washing dried.  It is a case of grabbing the chance to get it out when you can - even if it means bringing it in and out several times!  On the plus side, I'm managing a fair bit of crafting time which is good as I have some DT projects to attend to before the end of the month.

Beccy's Place - Month of Holiday Cards
https://beccysplace.blogspot.com/2022/11/a-month-of-holiday-cards-challenge.html

I have used a digital paper from my Awaiting Crafting box (it didn't have the source written on the back so unknown source for now).  The image is from Conie Fong and the sentiment is from Folded Paper and Printed Pixels.  Coloring is with copic markers, Wink of Stella and Kindy Glitz.  I also added some Glossy Accents to the letters on the string.  I dotted around a few tiny gold and white pearls.
