Hello there. The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge has started a new ‘anything goes Christmas‘ challenge. Here is my card:

I had fun creating this card with all those die cuts. I have to be in ‘the zone’ when I do this, but I enjoy the process.
The background panel is dry embossing using a Spellbinders embossing folder, and adhered flat to the card base.

The mug, marshmallows and candy canes are from Spellbinders, die cut and assembled with a mixture of glue and 3D foam.
the sentiment is heat foiled, and some silver sequins added for extra sparkle.

I hope you can come and join us with your Christmas creations. xx
I shall be entering the following challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – anything goes
CYHTP – embossing folder – option of squares/circles not taken
Creative Fingers – anything goes
Ally’s Angels – anything goes
Christmas Craft Creations – Christmas with stencils or embossing folder
Jingle Belles – Christmas and mainly die cuts






that mug is holiday perfection … so very glad you shared your die cuts with us at Jingle Belles.
