Rockin' around the Christmas Tree


A quick (and wow unscheduled) post with a share for the new Rudolph Day's challenge and another for the current Snippets Playground. Above a Sweet Poppy frame, stencil paste and foiled through a hot laminator, Lavinia Wild Pine Tree and two little Fairies, the right from Dancing Fairies, the left no longer available.


This one uses lots of Bazzil and Mirri leftovers, the stars created in Canvas Workshop and sent to the Scan and Cut, it's one I made some months ago and never blogged (hence no photo of snippets). Thought it would be good for a masculine card and made a few in different colours.

Happy Rudolph Days - somehow they seem to come around more quickly each month😊. Lovely sparkle on the Christmas card and the fairies are doing a grand job decorating that super tree.

It's great to see that you've managed an unscheduled post Brenda- hope it means you're feeling a little better :)
Love the monochrome Lavinia Christmas card with the magical tree and tiny fairies, gorgeous embossed background. The snippets card with the stars design is great for those masculine birthdays...and for using up those left over scraps of card we all end up with.

Two super cards, Brenda. I love the magical scene on your first card and the design on your second card is a great way to use snippets.

Oh wow Brenda..avinia steals the show for me I am afraid..it's beautiful....I love that tree. Your masculine card is great too though and a lovely design for those hard to cater for men. Hope you are feeling better x

Great news that you managed an additional unscheduled post. Hope that means you're feeling better.

Stunning Rudolph Day card with all the glitz.
Gorgeous birthday card using your blue and gold snippets too. Definitely could be used for the male of the species!

Thanks for entering a piece of homework to the Snippets Playground. See you up in the treehouse later.

Hugs, Sarn xxx

Two fabulous cards Brenda - your tree card is so gorgeous - the background and the fairies and the wee pearls on the tree are perfect. That star card is a great way to use up snippets - and definitely has a masculine feel to it.

The foiled Christmas card is a real beauty with all of the sparkle, and that birthday card with all the stars is just delightful with all of those blue colors. What a wonderful pair of cards!

Linby said...

Great to see an unscheduled post! The first one is so pretty with the lovely foiling and striking colours. The second one is a perfect masculine make and great use of snippets.

Gail L said...

The snippets card is fabulous!
Hope you're getting things sorted!

I hope you're starting to feel on the mend, Brenda and these cards are just lovely. I particularly love your 'vision in pink'! The stenciled foiled paste is a wonderful technique and the tree and fairies add a beautiful whimsical touch. The star card is such fun and how great that you had just the right leftovers.
Take care of yourself.

2 fab cards Brenda, I particularly love the pretty Christmas card. Love the foiling … I’m currently looking at how to do foiling using stamps but no heat as I don’t have a laminator .. there are some interesting techniques available xx

Ellibelle said...

They both are so beautiful Brenda, love the pink foil on the first and the scene looks so magical and gorgeous! Wonderful masculine card with all the stars and perfect choice of colors!
So great to see you were up to doing an unscheduled post!

Marianne said...

Love your pink Christmas card, Brenda. So fun that you incorporated those fairies with the fancy tree.

Interesting to see several non-traditional colours used for the cards this week. This one would cetainly stand out from the rest!. As soon as I saw theimage I knew it must be Lavinia stamps. Her style is very recognisable. A great card. Kate P. x
