Santa is die cut from various patterned green pieces and scraps of white, black and gold. I used a green foil scrap and a sizzix die to cut the snowflake Santa is holding up.

It's the second of the month and time for the Card Chain Challenge Reveal with a new product and a new addiction for me LOL. I am a big Waffle Flower fan, right back to their beginnings when their quirky and unique designs caught my eye. Now unless you are living under a rock you have probably seen the postage collage die being use all over the place and that's Waffle Flower and well done them for coming up with such a hot item. Always lovely to see the little companies getting big support. I am lusting after the postage collage series, which is difficult to source this side of the pond and going like hotcakes, but perusing their other products the layered stencils caught my eye. Particularly the scenes. So I took the plunge and paid really money (as opposed to waiting for a sale) for a few of their products including Moon Bay layered stencil set. This is my first attempt and I judged it good enough to use on this card. Love it. Had to consult with my muse (Jo) for what to do, because quite honestly it's so pretty with nothing else, and how could I have missed the fjord opportunities???????......... Remedied the problem by pulling out MFT's I Vike You set. I have since found other Viking stamps so stay tunaed.......</p><p style="text-align: center;">Here's the card I sent to Arlene in California</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIEwPvWOY8s5qXHQOOGWiFrRs1EtNLPpQDgOJHv6IFax7qpv2fp8A0marDbh7mEqlkl-P7whKDuFsE7BGn10xribwszS1GbKYhRQG5xPOtaoihRZBjJ49ti_celVYxX315mcA0bllTswc2gp5SccGSeeddyv35KrqFrEv_RirbyBBicMo7qjOzROTA4Ao/s1244/IMG_20240206_173949.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1244" data-original-width="850" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIEwPvWOY8s5qXHQOOGWiFrRs1EtNLPpQDgOJHv6IFax7qpv2fp8A0marDbh7mEqlkl-P7whKDuFsE7BGn10xribwszS1GbKYhRQG5xPOtaoihRZBjJ49ti_celVYxX315mcA0bllTswc2gp5SccGSeeddyv35KrqFrEv_RirbyBBicMo7qjOzROTA4Ao/w438-h640/IMG_20240206_173949.jpg" width="438" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">I think the sky is more blue and less moody in the real but I was having trouble with my colour levels. My viking kept going green! so you will just have to extrapolate. I followed the sketch, which required a skewed panel, and I could have done that differently so the horizon was more horizont, but it's too late once the glue is dry isn't it. I also used the colour options, with a few additions and stencils, friendship and men in hats. OK, men in hats wasn't an option, but maybe it should be!!!! A few MFT sentiments and baby dragon, cos every viking had a dragon you know and a few die cut birds to finish. </p><p style="text-align: center;">You can check out all the amazing cards that wizzed around the planet in <a href="https://cardchainchallenge.blogspot.com/2024/03/card-chain-challenge-reveal-february.html" target="_blank">February HERE</a></p><p style="text-align: center;">If you would like to send and recieve some happy snail mail here's the <a href="https://cardchainchallenge.blogspot.com/2024/02/card-chain-challenge-sign-up-march-2024.html" target="_blank">SIGN UP</a></p><p style="text-align: center;">Thanks for dropping by.

I'm elfing out this month over at the <a href="https://christmaskickstartchallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Christmas Kickstart Challenge</a> where the theme is <a href="https://christmaskickstartchallenge.blogspot.com/2024/02/christmas-kickstart-challenge-83-out-on.html" target="_blank">Out On A Limb</a>. Jo wants to see things in trees, Christmas themed of course. The thing doesn't necessarily have to be up a tree on your card, but if it is something that maybe doesn't usually lurk up a Christmas tree maybe best safest to include the tree. I have used a Penny Black stamp called Greetings From The Wise and perched the owl on a branch within a candy cane heart.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTkjzaRYsT7L424EgZSlUn3tZ4orbxnpglULSH4RAVFfoHgxYjjnL2whaez0yeiJZoqLjGkIc_K13fkTNiCjYChwd7AWaGaQTp9FjlNP6uSxPlmqpia3NeTsHKtpub8k4CrarlGEg0boBqo4xTYHs4MPsrhNb5ej4-L3-p2KUigEx9QW1Fmg3qd4_moQM/s1131/IMG_20240205_202621.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1131" data-original-width="850" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTkjzaRYsT7L424EgZSlUn3tZ4orbxnpglULSH4RAVFfoHgxYjjnL2whaez0yeiJZoqLjGkIc_K13fkTNiCjYChwd7AWaGaQTp9FjlNP6uSxPlmqpia3NeTsHKtpub8k4CrarlGEg0boBqo4xTYHs4MPsrhNb5ej4-L3-p2KUigEx9QW1Fmg3qd4_moQM/w300-h400/IMG_20240205_202621.jpg" width="300" /></a></p><div style="text-align: center;">I went pink and used Bazzill dots Pirouette for my panel. I made a candy cane heart using dies from sizzix candycane fold-a-long. I cut the heart out of the middle and backed with some swirly pierced cut white card. I added the Penny Black owl, stamped, coloured and fussy cut and a little branch for him to sit on. Then I went a bit OTT and added a die cut bow with a pink heart brad and stamped the sentiment with heart from Papirdesign Christmas Postal set twice.

I have a little inspiration over at the <a href="https://lostcoastportaltocreativity.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Lost Coast Portal to Creativity</a> today for the February challenge, <a href="https://lostcoastportaltocreativity.blogspot.com/2024/02/challenge-182-for-men.html" target="_blank">For The Men</a>.
Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda have so many wonderful
masculine stamps and the team is knocking it out of the park with so
much awesome inspiration. I've made a card using two of my favourite
blokes, <a href="http://www.lost-coast-designs.com/men.html" target="_blank">Weeping Man</a> and <a href="http://www.carmensveranda.com/famouspeople.html" target="_blank">Alfred Hitchcock</a>. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjciqS3YQqknyCZnpt6tIp9bEMBy6XBTkIcS3dSP6qOEyRO5jP1RjGC2wRLKdynurS9m1eu5W3oIFugdclf8TLbQ43Vz-v3uRwiKnMT6xSeHB58g9NGEQMrsE_HEgpocraWbD3tChigo_gl7VqVd6qSuYLDOUyOZ82ZjkbatAEV1i9a3i78B84dA7AqnaLT/s1119/IMG_20240204_224134.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1119" data-original-width="850" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjciqS3YQqknyCZnpt6tIp9bEMBy6XBTkIcS3dSP6qOEyRO5jP1RjGC2wRLKdynurS9m1eu5W3oIFugdclf8TLbQ43Vz-v3uRwiKnMT6xSeHB58g9NGEQMrsE_HEgpocraWbD3tChigo_gl7VqVd6qSuYLDOUyOZ82ZjkbatAEV1i9a3i78B84dA7AqnaLT/w486-h640/IMG_20240204_224134.jpg" width="486" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">I got both these stamps out and decided to make a collage, but ended up with this kinda split personality thing going on.

Hero Arts have a fun challenge where they want old and new. Well, I must admit I often shop sales for bargains, but a few months ago I couldn't resist their new release and splashed out on this Where To Next stamp set. Such cute little scenes. I've combined it with a kitty silhouette cut using Hero Arts Luna The Halloween Cat Frame Cuts, which is an old set, bought very recently in a sale, so in a curious way I suppose Luna satisfies both the old and the new options........</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4g87hPvIlM6kK0wKqq_vOFs8kzUZmLhrPm4j0ncfrJQTGUuylhN1WeNfBo-76sSvOE_8-15DU2fE5Sscj1cCXS6CKBmVCihl8pMPnH4S6EnT_hwDGlr4GZEgmQL_lNrljka-TWXeX3hu2Z7VwAAuUAHmfimUQZLO8pNwiHDxAuqxyK-uqM5cYOxD-xEk/s1266/IMG_20240204_010439.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1266" data-original-width="850" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4g87hPvIlM6kK0wKqq_vOFs8kzUZmLhrPm4j0ncfrJQTGUuylhN1WeNfBo-76sSvOE_8-15DU2fE5Sscj1cCXS6CKBmVCihl8pMPnH4S6EnT_hwDGlr4GZEgmQL_lNrljka-TWXeX3hu2Z7VwAAuUAHmfimUQZLO8pNwiHDxAuqxyK-uqM5cYOxD-xEk/w269-h400/IMG_20240204_010439.jpg" width="269" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">Love these little scenes and a cat makes everything better.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Thanks for dropping by.

Oh my goodness! There went January with a bit of a whoosh!!! Now February, month of love and get your red petticoats out girls!! It's a leap year!!!!! I'll still probably be caught short when it ends on the 29th and be frantically looking for an extra day or two. But today it's the second of the month and time for the <a href="https://cardchainchallenge.blogspot.com/2024/02/card-chain-challenge-reveal-january-2024.html" target="_blank">Card Chain Challenge reveal</a>.

Did you see the <a href="https://www.rubberdance.com/blog/art-journal-inspiration/exciting-new-release-stamps-and-stencils-1224/" target="_blank">Rubber Dance new release</a> yesterday?? It includes a new set of adorable Textured Birds, and 10% off until the 4th of February, so grab em while they're new LOL. The sentiment is also a Rubber Dance stamp from the Just a Note set.

Magnificent die. Note to self: add adhesive backing before cutting! All that detail was a little tricky to glue after the fact, but I managed, onto a lovely cream glitter card panel. I die cut Whittle Cutie Dog, also unused!!, from kraft card and gave him a little bit of colour on his nose. I added a small scrap of thick card behind his ear to make it stand out a bit. Then I went hunting for a sentiment and found this beautiful one from Aall&Create, which is also new from the A4 dog stamp set!! Gotta love a big stamp and using NBUS! <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Thanks for dropping by.

This could be the fastest conversion of NBUS to US in my life!! I just got a delivery of Funky Fossil stamps and dies and ooh, these steampunk animals are just adorbs. So I made a new year card with sparkly fireworks.</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd_vN7Aa83L6OFeNq5D0w-OU8tPYHQ5MnnVmGoE-WOUBuABH32t2eq8iclcCcDjSONrbuj2TLZAMeJlHgdqgebSEwmTK7gss3JcwRvKYBwfL_SyHNt0TyC4j3ulzER5qkgdbB4k8aj6TBjrzXZwNool0LXHI9qkDVfvtjqZTROwBxlCNJ5hN32XxBMw1A/s1616/IMG_20240117_135635.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1616" data-original-width="850" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd_vN7Aa83L6OFeNq5D0w-OU8tPYHQ5MnnVmGoE-WOUBuABH32t2eq8iclcCcDjSONrbuj2TLZAMeJlHgdqgebSEwmTK7gss3JcwRvKYBwfL_SyHNt0TyC4j3ulzER5qkgdbB4k8aj6TBjrzXZwNool0LXHI9qkDVfvtjqZTROwBxlCNJ5hN32XxBMw1A/w336-h640/IMG_20240117_135635.jpg" width="336" /></a></div><br /> Uh, OK, you are looking at the 2025 aren't you and feeling like you hit
time warp. Well, that's all De Egels idea!! They wanted new new years
cards so asked for the 2025 to be visible. I understand that, and
actually it's a cool idea cos now I am ahead of the game!! There comes
a point in the year where you need to give up sending xmas cards and a
few New Years span the gap. I rarely have them ready, but now I do!!! <p></p><p style="text-align: center;">The background firework paper is a new favourite for me. I bought some scrapbook kits from Carol Wilson in a sale and the papers are mostly gorgeous. Cool and unusual designs with some glitter and embossed highlights. Really pretty. But New Year needs bling so I ran a bead of glitter glue around the paper panel. I cut Funky Fossil Pipework Numbers using the dies and stamped, coloured and fussy cut the steampunk pig. Awesome. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Thanks for dropping by.

Happy weekend!! Using some scraps here for a colourful birthday. I'm using an old but NBUS set from sizzix and lots of scraps. I actually bought this set not that long ago in a sale because it's full of fun frames and embellishments, like what it says on the packaging. I actually wanted to use the coloured corrugated bit for the large scallop, but it was too small. So I found a bit of textured handmade paper, which was also a tiny bit small, but you just shove the flower over to cover the mm missing.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbrAvc0SSbd21t9lxIJ6OJj-2ASSTJFSBzekQOHVSNeIiFg5FEhyHj3evQJR6Q91XAsTQIyVfSHLEDuWke-8ru8-4bubdXwUTudSnuCaWnrrdRqcQ_cUxH6E9Nbu83MBW47C6zdDxt5PYSOHfop7TFVvtg4CShd02OjUZUV6CEtveISyUGTSqZ9w5IJ3g/s1142/IMG_20240112_004456.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1142" data-original-width="850" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbrAvc0SSbd21t9lxIJ6OJj-2ASSTJFSBzekQOHVSNeIiFg5FEhyHj3evQJR6Q91XAsTQIyVfSHLEDuWke-8ru8-4bubdXwUTudSnuCaWnrrdRqcQ_cUxH6E9Nbu83MBW47C6zdDxt5PYSOHfop7TFVvtg4CShd02OjUZUV6CEtveISyUGTSqZ9w5IJ3g/w476-h640/IMG_20240112_004456.jpg" width="476" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">The hummingbird was cut from a scrap of photo paper that has been coloured with brusho powders.
