the inspiration for the day 3 tag is a new to me technique to use foil:
i was inspired by Carissa Wiley’s tag and her cute snowman with strips of foil added to her design.
this was my first attempt to use foil and it was fun. i used a laminator after i printed the Lilyboo Designs Digital Stamp – Ho HoHo from buddly crafts and used foil on scor pal tape for the strip and attached it to a gold mirri base.

this is another scheduled post as i’m still dealing with a family member’s illness and might be for some time. i love this image; it depicts what i wish i had more time and energy to do.
as usual, i watercoloured with twinkling H2Os and added white flocking to her slippers; all the supplies are from buddly crafts and are listed below.

the last time i used this adorable teddy image from the Buddly Crafts Birthday Wishes clear stamp set i used neutral colours, so i had fun creating a more feminine card this time.
as usual, i watercoloured with twinkling H2Os and used my favourite banner dies to pop the pennants on foam tape; i love these pretty papers from Studio Light by Janneke Brinkman #17. to finish off the card, i added clear glitter on teddy’s hat stars, glossy accents on the plate and punched stars to the border.

it’s the first of the month so it’s time for a new theme at the house of cards challenge and this month we’d like you to shape up – create a card that is not square or rectangle.
i created a cupcake card and matching tag by using one of Buddly Crafts’ free templates by owner and Artist Kim MacFarlane found in the online shop: Digi Templates.

wishing you the best of everything for the new year! i don’t remember ever making a new year’s card before but while i was designing cards for buddly crafts, i found some hidden gold glitter paper and thought it would coordinate perfectly with the image.
the glasses from the Love is in the Air clear stamp set were stamped in gold ink, coloured with my favourite Faber-Castell Albrecht Dürer Watercolour Pencils and i added the die cut gold glitter border and numbers.

i’m sharing a project that i designed for Buddly Crafts using some of the smaller images in the Toby Tumble & Robins clear set along with the Jolly Santa set.
i used a pre-made treat bag and decorated it and the tags with watercoloured images using twinkling H2Os and added some white flocking to santa’s bear.

Kim MacFarlane, illustrator and owner of Buddly Crafts has created some really cute and FREE snap cards for kids in a Craft Supplies for Kids section of the online shop.
From the Buddly Crafts Facebook page:
“Craft Supplies for Kids are now much easier to find at Buddly Crafts as we’ve given the essentials their own department in the shop. I’ve also enjoyed creating some new FREE printable snap cards for the little people in our lives to colour and play. Three sets are available, one of which is a nativity set. I hope our Sunday School teachers find it a handy resource during advent. https://buddlycrafts.com/…/category-20…/kids-craft-supplies/“
Today I’m sharing a card that i designed for Buddly Crafts and features another adorable little bear image from the clear stamp set, Time for Giving.
i kept it clean and simple so most of the focus is on this little cutie that i watercoloured with twinkling H2Os; i also used the stamp image and sentiment from the Toby Tumble & Robins clear set.

i designed today’s creation for Buddly Crafts using one of the smaller images from the clear stamp set Rose Garden – they’re perfect for creating backgrounds or using on tags like this.
i used the Marianne Design Decorative Tags, stamped, watercoloured with twinkling H2Os, and sponged the edges with distress inks. i also had some fun splattering and i finished it off with a sheer striped pink bow and some twine.
i’m submitting this to kathy’s 30 day colouring challenge – day 30. this challenge was just what i needed this month; something to focus on and stay motivated to colour and create. i may have coloured everyday but i couldn’t share some of my DT projects yet.

the current jingle belles prompt is to create a hybrid holiday card and there’s a free festive digi kit available from one of their sponsors; visit their blog for more details.
i watercoloured this cute penguin from a buddly crafts clear stamp set, christmas buddies, but it is also available as a digi. my printer doesn’t like the heavier watercolour paper so i don’t use a lot of digis; besides, there’s just something about the old fashioned process that i like.
my digi elements are papers from buddly crafts, both created by owner Kim: Pretty Classic Christmas (trees) and Cottage Collection (yellow).
the tab is die cut from my favourite new banner die – Joy! Crafts Cutting Die – Labels & Tags; the foam on the die makes the banners pop right out on their own, which makes me happy. i finished it off with a self adhesive red gem.
the sentiment, from the same set, is stamped in green and i added stickles to the snow on it, the tree and to create dots to the scarf and present.
i’m also playing along with:
Christmas at Sweet Stampin – cute
Cutie Pie Challenge – challenge #87 layer it up…but keep it cute
Top Tip Tuesday – animals
