SNB Creative Chicks #25 Reindeer with Scarf

Today I had a go at making a Christmas decoration using SNB's Reindeer with Scarf stamp. I got the idea from an old card from a friend in Poland. Basically it is 4 circles which fit into each other by cutting notches at the top and the bottom. Here is a picture of it lying flat to give you an idea of how it is put together.

And here is a picture of the 'back'. I have left the back circle empty so that I can write a greeting and send it as a card.

Here is the card that I made for this weekends Vintage Challenge at Create with TLC.

I had to create something with an image from the Name Your Own Price Section of the store. I found my choice here.

Why I chose this one? Well, I recently became a Dutch citizen and I thought this might be a cute way to remind my South African family that while they are having BBQ's for Christmas, I will be FREEZING! :)

Midnight Madness #79

I tried something new for me this week and used rubber stamps for the images and sentiment on this card. 'What?', she cried. 'Nothing digital?'. Nope, just paper, card stock, nesties, embossing folder, punch, stamps, glitter pen and a few gems! I hope you like it.

Purple and Silver Christmas

So I decided to have a go at making a purple and silver card for the challenge over at Christmas Stampin' this week. I already had the CD embroidered and looking for a place on a card and I did the rest with die cuts and stamps. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.

It was hard to photograph though! The winter light here turns the purple into blue! So eventually as a last resort, I popped the card in the scanner and at least the purple IS purple :)

Anyhow, I would like to enter this card for the following challenges:
