Top tip Tuesday 22/1


Welcome to another Top tip Tuesday. It's our lovely Lisa M. that is hosting this fortnights challenge. 
The theme is :-

Lavishly Luscious Layers

Our sponsor are :-




Here is my card. I have one of Bugaboo's images 'scene it bear b'day'
This is a fun image. I just had to make it bright and cheerful. 
I have decoupaged the image (hard to see in the photograph). The papers are Christmas selection from Dovecraft, and that's my tip, Christmas papers are not just for Christmas. I love this warm and cheery combination.





I have also used Promarkers, Cuttlebug embossing folder, Nesties, Stickles and Dovecraft brad, Woodware circle punch and corner punch.

Pop over to see the other team samples for inspiration.

Love


It's been a snowy day, but fortunately it is not lying too much here. 
So keeping warm what else to do but make a card!



This is another clean and simple card. I was lucky to win a prize on Charisma Cardz a few weeks ago. I won Washi tape from Freckled Fawn. I have never used this before, so it is a first!

I used an embossing folder, Sizzlet heart , Nestie circle and a Papermania stamp.

Snowflakes

It's still freezing, but a least we have no snow yet. 
My card is quite fitting with the weather in parts of Britain at the moment. 



This is one of my Christmas cards this year. I took inspiration from one of Samantha's cards here

I used Spellbinders snowflakes, Craft Creations paper, Nesties, Woodware snowflake punch (small snowflake), Fiskers small circle punch for spots and the rest from my stash.

Single layered card


I hope everyone is keeping warm. It is bitter here just now and I am lucky to be in the house nice and cosy. 

It has been a while since I have managed to make a card for the Less is More challenge. So I have made this card using their theme of Sports or exercise. 




I have used Penny Black Teed Up stamp, coloured with Promarkers, and added chalks to make the sky. A little doodling brings it all together.
