Rudolph, Snippets and Tags


Morning Peeps, there are new challenges at Rudolph Days and Snippets Playground so my entries for both starting with the top one, a Winery scene using a number of Lavinia stamps.

I created the sky first using Elements, next added the stamping using Versafine Acorn, applied more ink around the edges, some snowy mounds and colour to the berries and mistletoe. In hindsight the Robin's a tad large in comparison to the Pheasant, artistic licence!! I would like to share this at The Holly and Ivy Christmas challenge and Christmas Kickstart challenge. And as I made my own background, Simon Say's Monday challenge.

For my snippets share I utilised some odds and ends of Kraft, a foray that told me I have no whole A4 sheets left so need to order some. There was just about enough to make a tag which also serves as a timely reminder that there are just three days left to enter before our July challenge ends at Tag-Along (and ATC's) challenge. So if you've not entered pr want to add another we would love to see you, theres a super set of tag dies for our lucky winner as well as the chance to be selected as a DT Favourite.


A base white tag, Kraft frame and a little scene using Lavinia's new Twilight Tea collection. I'll admit when these first arrived I knew I would do lots with the Sunflowers but not so sure about the teapots, I've never drunk tea and only espresso coffee as I've been allergic to milk since I was weaned so the appeal wasn't great. But much to my surprise I've used them quite a lot - along with flowers of course. This will also fit the current Lavinia One Upon a Time challenge. I would like to enter Try it on Tuesday with my tag.

And below my snippets....


Thanks as always for your visits, always appreciated.

  7. A lovely wintery scene for Rudolph Days and I love the Teapot tag. Interesting to find someone else who doesn't drink tea, no reason really except that I just don't like it and never have. Happy Rudolph Days.

  13. The winter scene feels like a magical stroll through frosty vineyards—your layering of Lavinia stamps and snowy details is absolutely enchanting. That robin may be oversized, but it brings such charm and character! And your tag? Pure whimsy. The Twilight Tea collection has never looked cozier—like a tiny fairy cottage nestled in a sunflower garden. You’ve transformed snippets into a storybook moment, and it’s delightful.

  22. This is a beautiful card Brenda. It makes me feel cold-which is good since our weather is too hot right now. And I like your latest tag too. I'd love to be small enough to live in a teapot house. Hope the rest of your weekend is good (as it is probably almost over) and have a nice start tot he new week. hugs-Erika
