Three Cats

Since the weather warmed up, my cat has been pretty much living wild in a thicket behind our house- he just comes in for food and shoots off again. He also seems to have made a friend - another black and white cat from some neighbouring flats. They sit a few metres away from each other though, not cuddling up like the three on my card.

OLC Christmas

 Back after a little blog break and straight in with a Christmas in July card . Actually, I don't think there's a month in the year when I wouldn't enjoy making a Christmas card - I just love them! 

This one-layer card uses a Woodware penguin and snowflakes by Uniko.

Wedding Card

 I made this card for my nephew's wedding. I designed and cut it on my Silhouette Cameo digital cutter, using foiled scrapbook papers and a scrapbook embellishment as the sentiment. The main image is Colorado Craft bunnies.

Two Christmas Box Cards

 

My daughter and I fantasise about going to New York near Christmastime, for the shopping - so I made this first card for her.  I used manual dies plus stamps and markers.

Sparkles Monthly Christmas Transport

This one was cut on a Silhouette digital cutter and I've kept largely to the design - I just changed up the colours, used patterned paper on the trees, liquid pearl snow and stamped the sentiment. 

Little Penguin

 This little MFT penguin is skipping through the dry-embossed snow, with die-cut trees and sentiment.

Inkspirational Challenges - Stencils

 

Our new challenge at Inkspirational is

For my DT card I create a scene with a loose stencil background, a die cut Christmas tree and stamped streetlight, cute animals and sentiment. 

This is my last challenge with Inkspirational. After 12 years I am leaving the DT with sadness and pride - they are a wonderful team and a fantastic challenge blog - but competing priorities have meant that I haven't felt I've been 'pulling my weight' lately and so it's time to move on. 

I hope you'll go over there now and see what the DT have made and enter your own creation.
