Santa's Elves

Hi Everyone,

I just could not resist the "Santa's Elves' Set from MFT.

I looked everywhere online and ended up getting it straight from MFT.

The only trouble with that is that I have to wait weeks for it too arrive.

I love living in Australia, but I hate waiting for my crafty stuff to arrive from Overseas (lol).

I am sharing 3 CAS cards with you today using this stamp set.

Ingredients:

Stamps:  Santa's Elves

Medium:  Copic Markers

Dies: MFT

Sentiments: SIlhouette Cameo, Minc & MFT

Other:  Glitter & Glossy Accents

I would like to enter these cards into the following challenges:

Until next time

No Sunshine

Hi Everyone,

I tried to colour this image in last week, however this were stopped when I had an accident in the kitchen.  Unfortunately I ended up in emergency at the Hospital with burns to my hand.  Serves me right to grab on to a hot saucepan.

Thankfully my hand is ok now and I finally got to finish this card.

I have used 'Skelekinz No Sunshine' from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.

The sentiment has been 'foiled' using my new Heidi Swapp Minc Machine (I love it).

Ingredients:

Penguin Party

Hi Everyone,

We have just had a long weekend.

I was so grateful to my family for letting me have some time in my craft room.

I managed to get quite a few cards made and I am hoping to share them with you over the next few weeks.

For this tag, I have used the adorable 'Penguin Party' from Sugar Nellie.

I must admit that I have cheater with this image.

I have used a pre coloured image.

However, I have added sparkle to the image and made the tag from scratch.
