Gingerbread House

At Kate Hadfield Designs there are so many fabulous sets it is really easy to get inspired to use them. There are digital stamps which you can colour, coloured versions you can scrapbook or make into digital layouts. Papers, patterned overlays and doodles galore. No matter what your skill level there are so many goodies to play with. 

Kate has designed two new sets for Christmas. Jolly Holly is a Kawaii style with cute characters and lots of smiley faces. Totally up my street and so much fun to work with. Each sets comes as either a pre-coloured Doodle, black line art to colour yourself or a specially priced bundle with both sets together.

This card has been made with the Gingerbread House image from the Doodles pack.

This card has been made using a sketch from Kendra's Card Challenge. This is the first time I am taking part in such a project. Every quarter Kendra provides a PDF which has a cutting plan for several cards using 6 sheets of 6"x6" paper. This time there are 17 card sketches for A2 size cards which are slightly smaller than the A6 cards we would normally make as a small card in the UK. This layout is sketch 14

The card base already made following the sketch I was able to quickly put this together. I had printed several of the characters on a sheet to make use of the relevant sketches and layouts. The planning and measuring probably took more time than actually making the card.

The special colour laser printer paper I use is not very thick so I find it is best to add the printed image to a scrap of card to make it more robust. This is especially important when it will be mounted on foam pads. I cut the shapes out with tiny scissors and leave a thin border. I love fiddly cutting so this is right up my street.

I used a Spectrum Noir glitter marker to colour the roof and chimney tops in a golden yellow to match the colours of the gold used throughout the card. I added some gingerbread rub ons as Mommy & Daddy and a little puffy sticker for the child.

Over at Kate Hadfield Designs there is lots going on. Kate is really generous with her freebies which are readily available. If you sign up to the newsletter you get access to an extra subscriber area the Doodle Den where there are loads more freebies. There is a gallery full of projects by the Creative Team and customers and so much inspiration for crafters and teachers. I would highly recommend you pop over there and join in the fun.

The circular element I felt suited the wreath image so I fussy cut and added a scrap of gold to the inside. This is mounted on foam pads for dimension. I added a bit of sparkle with red Stickles glitter glue on the ribbon and Icicle on the baubles. The sentiment has been added to a scrap of red card and I trimmed around it to leave a small border.

The card base already made following the sketch I was able to quickly put this together. The background paper was free choice so I used a green metallic snowflake paper to keep it mainly one colour. This is a wrapping paper from Paperchase that is great value a you get 8 sheets of A4 paper for only a few pounds.

The middle paper of this card was a free choice so I chose this red paper which has a foiled green marble pattern. It is framed with some pearlescent gold card that has been cut with a scalloped edge die. This is a great backdrop for Santa as the red is a little darker. For the shape element I found a sentiment in black which I felt matched the boots and gloves.

The placement of the banners on the right hand side left me the perfect placing to put little Rudy. He is simply popped up on thin foam pads. The sentiment is a Dufex sticker that lost it's stickyness a long time ago. I added it to a scrap of card. I love the bit of sparkle it gives with the holographic shimmer.

Some People Are Worth Melting For

At Kate Hadfield Designs there are so many fabulous sets it is really easy to get inspired to use them. There are digital stamps which you can colour, coloured versions you can scrapbook or make into digital layouts. Papers, patterned overlays and doodles galore. No matter what your skill level there are so many goodies to play with.

Kate has designed two new sets for Christmas. Jingle Toppers is a set I asked Kate to design as I really enjoyed working with the Halloween ones as bag toppers and thought it would make great gifts for Christmas treats. Each set comes as either a pre-coloured Doodle, black line art to colour yourself or a specially priced bundle with both sets together.

I wanted to use the Snowman image so started with that as I my base. I love the spotty paper from Merry and Bright. The colours are bold and cheerful and suit the character really well. When planning out my printing I always make a template the size of the finished card so I can play with dimensions and sizing the different elements.

I added a red rectangle from the Jingle All The Way Papers. I added a black border as this made it stand out from the spotty paper better.

I then added Mr Snowman and sized up. Kate's images are perfect for this as they are really high quality and do not degrade when made larger. Many digital stamps and images are not as clear and when enlarged they lose a lot of the crisp sharpness. I have used Kate's quite large on some projects and can vouch for the quality.

I had seen this quote on Love SVG's site. This is a fantastic resource for free files you can download if you become a member. They come in lots of different formats so you can use as cut files, digital projects and things like T shirt printing. I just use them as a digistamp. It is definitely worth checking out. 

I particularly like the quote as Olaf says it in Frozen and I love Olaf. I made a box for the quote to sit in and then by moving it into position it then looks like the snowman is holding a banner. 

Once printed and mounted onto the white card blank it was simply a case of adding some Christmas sparkle to his outfit with red, green & clear Stickles glitter glue.

I thought the circular element would be perfect for the smiley pudding. It is embellished with Stickles glitter glue and some red berry gems. Apologies for the dark photo but it was the best way to show the sparkle and the weather in the UK has been so bad these last few days. the rain has been horrendous...

Finally I added a foiled sentiment and decorated it with a couple of gems.

Joy To The World

 

I often buy lucky dip type bags from Crafter's Companion when they have clearance sales on. You usually get a huge amount of value like £150 worth for only £30. 

This die set was amongst one of those bags. You get the main star frame and then there are 3 different inserts so you can change the sentiment. 

At £24.99 to be honest I would never have bought it but when it is in a bag of loads of goodies that are worth a lot more than you pay for them some things are not to your taste but often prove themselves to be useful. I still have a mission to use ever die I have at least once so it does not feel like it has been a wasted purchase. I don't feel quite so bad when it is something like this though as I got it for a much cheaper price.

The card pretty much makes itself. I covered the base with some sparkly paper and then cut the panel from some purple cardstock. I then went to town with lots of twinkle in various colours. I have been doing some diamond painting and think I got a bit carried away ☺

Anyway I thought this was the perfect die to use for the letter J prompt at Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards challenge
