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.

  2. 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.

  4. 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.

    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!

  14. 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.

  19. 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.

  21. 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

  24. 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
