Going Green - Peel offs

 

Still trying to make a dent in my peel off pile from back in April .

This time using green  Christmas Pud peel offs on silver background and silver peel off baubles on green!

Temu Topper Xmas Cards

 

Those bargain Winter themed temu toppers make lovely Christmas cards

Easy to match up with backing papers, sentiments and embellishments

There are 200 in the winter pad, so expect lots more Christmas cards to feature them!

Lavinia Stamps ..... Hares

 

As well as the stag stamp, I also bought some Hare stamps from Lavinia Stamps recently.

The set of 3  hares work quite well on the Hunkydory twilight background paper

Lavinia Stamps .. Stag

 

I know that they have been around for ages, but I am just discovering the delights of Lavinia Stamps.

Their stag is especially suited to Christmas and Yuletide greetings cards!

More Xmas Peel offs

 

Yup, still working on how to use up some more of those donated peel offs

The big bow was off last years Christmas Crackers

Christmas Peel Offs

 

Remember back in April, I was given loads of sheets of peel off stickers?

Well, I've now made a start on using the Christmas Themed ones

And there were a LOT of them, well over 100 sheets, mostly unused!

So, it's going to be a long, long time before they are used up!

Christmas is Coming ....

 

And its time to dig out the Christmas craft stuff and start making those Xmas cards!

First few are the easy ones, recycling some of last years cards

Adding background papers and embellishments

Next thing , look through all my old stamps and dies for new inspiration!

Lovely Landscapes

 Those topper books from Temu just keep on inspiring me to make more cards

The soft, dreamy pastel shades are so pretty ....

and are so easy to match up with backing papers.

USING MORE OF THE TOPPERS

 

Great fun using more of the fab Temu toppers

Lots have cats on them!

TEMU Toppers

 I spotted 4 books of seasonal topper images on  Temu recently, there are some beautiful scenes in them

 I have been inspired to make loads of cards already

which also helped to use up some patterned papers I have had for ages

However, I guess the images must be AI generated, as there were a couple of weird ones that stood out

Now, I've visited London many times, but never spotted any mountains nearby!

Nor did I spot any when visiting the Eiffel Tower in Paris!!

More for the Men

 

Had a go at making more masculine cards - not so easy as cards with flowers and butterflies!

So made music, gaming and motorbike themed cards instead.

Plus a wooden dinosaur one for the kids!

From This .........

 

to this......

I've been using up more of the scrapbooking paper kits that I was given back in January to make some more birthday cards for charity. Before .....

and after .....

and finally, a fun Dinosaur card from this pack
