As well as the freebie, there is also a video to watch that shows how the digital stamp evolved - here is the link

I added a Christmas sentiment to the bottom of the image before printing out and colouring with my Promarkers and then fussy cutting out, leaving a snowy bank of card at the bottom of the design.

Next I created my Wintery background, blending distress oxide inks to create a Winter Alpine scene with mountains, fir trees and lots of snow

Finishing touches were some glitter to the snails ear muffs and his spots.

I do hope that you like my card for today and I'd love it if you'd leave me a comment.

Rasha Reindeer - Freebie Digital Stamp - with Julia McNeil Designs

Hello everyone Happy Friday! I hope that you've had a great week and the weather has been kind where you are.... I know there has been a lot of snow over in the UK and its been very cold in some areas.  It's still really sunny and warm here during the day so great weather for working outside but colder in the evenings, not quite cold enough for the fire yet!

JJ has started pruning the trees while the work continues on the era ! I've not been great lately with bad tinnitus for several weeks and then I had my flu and COVID jabs this week which have somewhat floored me but apart from a sore arm I'm feeling a lot better today, so fingers crossed I can get outside and start helping with the pruning.

Today I'm back to share a Christmas card for JMC Designs  that I've made using the November freebie digital stamp - this is Rasha Reindeer and he looks like hes having a few problems with his boots in the snow, hope he masters them before Christmas Eve.

With Love - Bunny Card -Digital Stamp Freebie - with Julia McNeill Designs

Hello everyone Happy Saturday I hope that you had a great week and something nice planned for the weekend - last day of August ! My goodness that's gone so fast but its been so hot over here so I'm hoping now for a few cooler days  

Today I'm sharing a project for JMC Designs  that I've created using the Freebie Digital Stamp for August. 

Who can resist a cute Bunny? I definitely can't and this is perfect all year round

Every month Julia McNeill very generously gives away a fabulous digital stamp, which is available to everyone in her Facebook group JMC's Crazy Crafty Hive and also to her followers via Instagram, all you need is to use your email address to register for the stamp. 

Here is the link to register and download this months digital stamp. I've coloured the cute bunny with my promarkers and then used an arch die to cut it out.  Next 

I blended a little distress ink for the sky and the grass.  I used the arch dies and a slightly smaller one to create a frame in a chocolate brown cardstock and then layered a panel of pink and brown paper from the Bumble buzz digital collection on the same brown card stock.

Next I fussy cut some of the cherry blossom from the ephemera set and adhered this in an arch over the bunny image. 

The finishing touches were a few highlights with my white gelly roll pen and a few pieces of chocolate brown confetti

I do hope that you like my card for today and Id love it if you'd leave me a comment.

Home is my favourite place - April Freebie - Strawberry Villas with Julia McNeill Designs

Hello everyone Happy Monday I hope that you had a great weekend.  We went on a charity walk yesterday with an organised group from our town, raising money and awareness of Cancer and had a wonderful day however after 23,912k steps and 16km my feet and legs are a little achy today.  After the walk a group of us went for a fantastic meal so all in all it was a great weekend.

It's time for me to post my next project for JMC Designs and its something very sweet and fruity today.  I love strawberries...definitely one of my favourite fruits and they are delicious here at the moment.

Its currently a card but I've decided I'm going to put the finished project in a box frame and keep it, it will look great on my craft room wall and I cant bear to part with it !  I will share a photo once its framed.

I have used the April Freebie called  Strawberry Villa and I think this digital stamp would make the perfect new home card.

At the start of every month Julia McNeill very generously gives away a fabulous digital stamp, which is available to everyone in her Facebook group JMC's Crazy Crafty Hive and also to her followers via Instagram, all you need is to use your email address to register for the stamp. Here is the link for you if you haven't grabbed your freebie yet.

I decided I wanted to create a scene with the little strawberry house so resized this to suit a larger A5 panel before printing out on alcohol marker friendly cardstock along with an earlier freebie from Julia from August 2022 called Bubbled Berries, you can still grab her here in the Facebook group too Freebie.  

I resized Bubbled Berries so she appears to be in front, so larger and the strawberry house smaller as this will be at the back to give perspective to my scene.

The  card itself is a pop up frame card - one of my favourites to create and perfect for scenes.  For this one I've used a simple dotty textured cardstock, which coordinated with my strawberries.

After colouring in the two main images I also decided to print out extra strawberries and colour these to match.  Once all the colouring was complete I fussy cut out all the images and then put these to one side. 

Next I took a piece of watercolour card and used distress inks to create an ink smooshed background with blues at the top of the panel and greens at the bottom. 

Then I assembled my scene adding die cut white clouds (tinted with a little blue ink) and some simple die cut grass at the bottom.  

The finishing touches to the project were white gel pen and metallic orange highlights and a simple sentiment from the Bumble Buzz digital collection

I really hope that you like my project today and it would be lovely if you you leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

Too Cute to Spook with Last Minute Manda

Hello everyone - It's Saturday again and really scary just how fast the weeks are flying by! It'll be 'You know what' in no time 🎄🎄🎄

I hope that you have had a lovely week and something wonderful planned for the weekend. I imagine there will be lots of Halloween parties planned and maybe a little early trick or treating over this weekend.

I'm back here today with my fourth Halloween card in my mini series for Last Minute Manda.

As with my previous cards I've used a digital stamps from the Ghostly Good Time digital stamp set. 

I have had the sugar skull paper in my stash for far too many years and thought it was perfect as a background to use with this cutie. I love how bright and colourful it is and works perfectly with my little ghost.

Because the background paper is so colourful I decided to adhere the cute ghost on a simple die cut circle of white card that I have inked around the edge with orange distress ink...this helps to differentiate between the busy background and the focal image....a layer of vellum would have worked also !

Just some simple layering on purple cardstock with a coordinating paper, some orange cardstock ricrac and a simple spooky sentiment to finish off the card.

Don't go yet....there's some exciting news !

Now you have seen a few cards that I have made with this digital stamp set, I can reveal that if you are a member of the Kit and Clowder Facebook group, this set is the freebie available to all group members from today for 1 week only, so don't forget to head over to the Facebook group, follow the instructions to download this cute set and get those last minute Halloween projects made. It's only available for free for one week !

If you aren't already a member then its a wonderful and friendly group and the colouring classes by Alyce Keegan are brilliant for beginners right through to anyone wanting to improve their colouring skills.
