I've made a Stair Step Card this time.  My Secret Santa Monica P. from over at Scrapbookers of Country Craft Creations facebook group, gifted me with some Heartfelt Creations Wildwood Cottage items!!!!!!  So I have used some on today's card!

Here's a side view of the Stair Step Card, I love how you can add different layers for interest.

I used a panel from the Wildwood Cottage Paper Collection and die cut a scalloped edge using the Border Essential die.  I then stamped and die cut the fence and flowers from the Wildwood Cottage Accents set.  The sentiment and bird are part of the paper collection and I fussy cut them and matted them with cardstock.

I stamped and die cut the flowers, grass and gate from the Wildwood Cottage Accents set and used Prismacolor pencils for some added dimension.

I added some Glossy Accents to the water but at this angle you can't see the sheen.

The wheelbarrow is also part of the Accents set and I stamped it on Kraft cardstock and coloured it with Prismacolor pencils.


Recipe:  HCPC-3772 Wildwood Cottage Accents Stamp, HCD1-7128 Wildwood Cottage Accents Die, HCD1-783 Border Essentials Die, HCDP1-274 Wildwood Cottage Paper Collection, CMTH CS-White Daisy, Bazzill CS-pink, light green, burgundy & Kraft, Prismacolor Pencils, Nuvo Fresh Snowfall Glitter, Twine, Foam.

You've reached the end of the Blog Hop for December!  I hope you enjoyed and are inspired by all the fun Heartfelt Creations projects!!!  See you next month!

Cuttlebug Mania Anything Christmas Challenge and Some Quick Christmas Cards

Hello and welcome here!  It's December and time for the last Cuttleubug Mania challenge of 2017!


Challenge - Anything Christmas
(use a die &/or embossing folder)

For a chance at winning an awesome prize, link your creation over at Cuttlebug Mania. 
Challenge runs for 4 weeks. 
Don't forget to let us know how you used your Cuttlebug!


Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"
I tend to keep my cards fairly simple at Christmas because I'm usually making more than 1.  You know me, I usually add dimension with foam squares and finish my cards with some embellishment. So the cards I'm sharing today you can definitely bling them up, or keep them simple like I have.

A huge thanks to our Fearless Leader Jannie for sending me an early Christmas gift of the snowman stamp and die set...sooooooo cute!!!  I just coloured him quickly with Distress Markers and boom, my card was done.
