Heart's Quest Fantasy Challenge #7 Anything Goes with Optional Theme of Elves

Good morning and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge from Heart's Quest Fantasy Challenge. This month our challenge is, as always, anything fantasy goes, but the optional theme (for extra bragging rights) is to use elves on your card or project.

For my card, I went for these cute baking elves, Sugar and Spice from Sweet November Stamps, showing each stage of the baking process before the cute elf at the end gets to eat her little gingerbread person. I didn't want to use traditional colours and went for this blue, pink and grey combo and I quite like how it came out.

All Things Magical and Mythical #114 Featuring Valentine's Gnome from Jo Kavanagh Designs

Good morning and welcome to this week's All Things Magical and Mythical post. For today's card, I thought I would make a Valentine, yet not Valentine card.

He only needs one card for tomorrow! LOL

Anyway... here's my card using this cute gnome image from Jo Kavanagh Designs.

Scene It Sunday #166 featuring Stella and Cold by Light by Make It Crafty

Good morning everyone and welcome to today's Scene It Sunday post. I found this scene already printed in my folder full of Christmas images and it combines two digis from Make It Crafty, who are sadly no more! I love their images and their background scenes were always amazing to colour. Such a shame they are no longer around!  

Anyway this scene combines Stella and the Cold by Light background, both perfect for a wintery card!

Good morning and happy Sunday! It's our first Bank Holiday weekend of the month this weekend, so an extra day off work! Yay! Let's hope the sun shines all day tomorrow, so I can take the new car out for a ride! 

For today's card I used two of my older C.C. Designs stamp set to make this bee themed birthday card. I inked the sky using my cloudy stencils and distress oxide inks before adding some grass die cuts and some flowers in the corner. A quick fun card to make! 

And here's a close up of the characters...

Something Else on Saturday #204 Featuring The BFF from C.C. Designs

Good morning and welcome to this week's Something Else on Saturday post. I am sharing another Wednesday Addams car today, but this time using one of the new stamp sets from C.C. Designs, The BFF. I had seen a few cards with the window from Wednesday and Enid's bedroom at Nevermore Academy, so went hunting for one and found tons on Etsy! I did print it out a bit too large, but I like it! 

I stencilled the wall background before adding my stained glass window and then popped up the characters and sentiment. I bought this set specifically for this sentiment as I just love it!

All Things Magical and Mythical #69 Featuring Unicorn Lucy from C.C. Designs

Good morning and welcome to this week's All Things Magical and Mythical post. For today's card, I pulled out this cute image from C.C. Designs which I got as a digi stamp years ago before they stopped doing their digis (although I think they still do the odd one here and there!) C.C.

Good morning and welcome to this week's All Things Magical and Mystical post. For today's card I thought I would use a gnome, which I haven't done for a while. I'm not a fan of real life garden gnome, but gnomes in my card making and gonks for various occasions in the house, I do love. I just bought the cutest gonk witch decoration for Hallowe'en!

I decided to pull out all my Doo-Hickey bee themed dies for this card and ended up wanting to use so many of them, that I went for a gatefold card to get them all on! So this is the front, with the honey drips at the top covered in crystal effects for some shiny sticky honey effect! A few bees and a bee hive finish it off.   

Then on the inside is my cute gnome having finished collecting all that honey in his giant honey pot! These papers from Stampin' Up are just perfect for bee themed cards, so I only use them occasionally as they are retired and I cannot get any more!

Something Else on Saturday #162 Featuring Rockabilly Girls from C.C. Designs

Good morning and welcome to this week's Something Else on Saturday post. This week I have used the adorable Rockabilly Girl from C.C. Designs, but this was the digital version from way back when they still did digi stamps. It is still available as a clear rubber stamp set though. 

I went for a fairly simple design on this one, mainly because I wanted the girls to stand out and the background needed to be cute but more neutral as they are so brightly coloured too. I added a fun sentiment from an old Whimsy Stamps set, added a bow in the corner and a few gems and it was all done!

Scene It Sunday #73 Featuring Woodland Snowman by Rachelle Anne Miller

Good afternoon and welcome to this week's Scene It Sunday post. I have missed a couple of posts this week as I just did not have enough time to do all my DT commitments and my own blogposts last weekend. (That's what happens when you are not organised enough 😜)

Anyway I am now on my school holidays for the next two weeks, so lots more crafting time can be fitted it! Yay! 

For today's card I have used adorable Woodland Snowman from Rachelle Anne Miller and went for my usual combo of red and aqua as these papers are my faves and I can't seem to stop using them! I still have an unopened pack as well, as I bought 2 packs last year. I always seem to fall in love with a paper pack but never buy more than one - decided to jump straight in last year and buy them and have been using them ever since!

All Things Magical and Mythical #16 Featuring Snowflake Fairy Princess from Whimsy Stamps

Good morning and welcome to this week's All Things Magical and Mystical post. As you can probably tell, I am in full Christmas card making mode now. I could probably do with a few more, but need to count to see how many I have actually made! I think it is quite a few now! How are yours Christmas cards coming on if you are making them?

Anyway...today's post features the adorable Snowflake Fairy Princess from Whimsy Stamps, which is such a quite wintery digi stamp. I thought I would go for some icy blues and silvers on this one.
