Stamping Bella Uptown Girl Loves to Perform & Spellbinders Shine Bright

 Hello everyone,

Well - I am rather late to the 2026 party with my first card of the year!

I have been making cards, just not sharing them here!

I have also very excitedly joined Bonny Snowdon's Academy which is an amazing Pencil Drawing Course.  I am really enjoying it!  You may see more of that from me as the year progresses.

Anyways - here I am today to show you two cards.

I must say a MASSIVE thank you though to my lovely friend Elaine (Marker Geek).

I was inspired to make these cards after I saw one Elaine had made.  I just fell more than a little in love with it. - and what's more, the card style is perfect for two lovely girls - my friend Lyn's Grandaughters!

So with Elaine's approval, I made two cards which I am sharing with you today! - and oh my, I had the best card making fun I'd had in ages!

Concord and 9th - Sleigh Full Of Cheer

 Hello everyone ...

Well - I said I'd be back and I meant it!  (:

This card was made with a fabulous Concord & 9th Stamp & Die Set from our lovely 
Dies To Die For


Ingredients From Dies To Die For

I used a selection of paper scraps I'd had for ages to make the gifts - any paper would be effective for this!

The sleigh was die cut three times and the pieces layered together.  I then coloured it with Copic Markers.

Thank you so much friends for your ongoing support, it really does mean a lot to me - particularly during a rather odd year!

wishing you all wonderful Christmas time and if you don't celebrate - wishing you just a wonderful time!

Happy crafting!
