Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge ~~ May Edition

As always the challenge is anything goes but this month there is an option to use a House. I imediately thought of a Gingerbread house so I pulled out my gingerbread house set and made a scene. 

The background was one of my practice gelli press backgrounds which I though worked well for the wintery looking sky the house and gingers were cut out of Crumb Cake, I added a red roof and then the snow layer. I also added glitter clouds.

Here is a better look at the roof and wreath, I layered 3 green diecuts and added the Starform glitter sticker dots. 

Thanks for stopping by today and check out the rest of the cards that the design team have made to inspire you. 

 

November and a New Challenge!!

 It's November and time for a new challenge at the Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge Anything Goes + optional Make a Scene. 

I love making scenes for cards, I mae halloween ones this year and I have a few stamps to make into scenes but for this one I use a very old favourite of mine from Penny Black, I use it at least once every Christmas season and this is the time.

I have been working on this card for weeks it seems, the houses die cut in my "parts" box, I cut three light standards to glue together and the image stamped then the transition from cottage to home happened.  Time to get everything together, where are my light die cuts? can't find them cut 3 more next morning I sit to craft nd what is sitting in a basket on my rolly cart? the dies, well now I have spares. I cloured some vellum to put between two of the layers of lights. Made the sunset background, cloured the penguins with spica glitter pens, fussy cut and popped them up. Layerd it on a piece of metallic posterboard (dollar tree) then added that to a 3 1/4 X 6 1/4 base to make a Mini Slimline Card.

For the inside I used a strip of the blue metallic posterboard and a Stampendous Cling mount sentiment.
