On Top of the World

Doesn't it look like the little Polar Bear is on top of the world. Or you could interpret it that he is sitting on a giant ball! Great idea Frankie

Snow Church Scene

Two cards one stamp - the top card is stamped in stazon and coloured with Distress inks, the bottom card is stamped in Vintage Photo and then Lesley used a waterbrush to give it that watercoloured look.
You can find this Snow Church Scene unmounted stamp on our website here.

Old book Partridge

As you can see on this card Frankie has stamped the Pear Tree onto the page of an old book. I'm sure no books were hurt in the making of this card.

Snowy White Village

Frankie has used the large dots and small dots from our Dots and Stars background set to create the wonderfully snowy backdrop for the Snowy Village.

Polar Hug

Chris created this card in black and white with a hint of blue, using our Polar Bears. I love the way Chris cut the arms of the big bear to wrap around the baby bear, you may have seen me borrow this technique on our last show!

Penguins @ Play

I've programmed Blogger with lots of Christmas cards to appear on my blog over the next couple of weeks as I'll be going in for surgery tomorrow. Hopefully by the time I get back we'll have lots of lovely artwork to show you for our new TV show on Friday 28th October. Plus some brand new stamps being released in November.

This card is one Vicky created on our last show featuring our Playful Penguins, coloured with Flexmarkers.



Christmas Topiary Trees

Taken from our Front Door stamp set, Esther has utilised just one element to create this lovely card.

Bird with Umbrella

This is a card Vicky made a while ago with our Bird with Umbrella stamp.
I believe Vicky coloured the image with Promarkers. The silver dots on the umbrella are two way glue and silver leaf.

Pop-Up Card



On the front of the card we stamped and embossed in silver onto Mulberry paper.

To create the pop-up Snowman we used a FlipFlap from JudiKins.

Aiming for the stars

Didn't you know Polar Bears practice their Cheerleading skills when no one is looking, or are they just reaching for the stars?

Not just for Christmas

Our gnomes were not designed for Christmas but they do lend themselves so well to be Santa or his little helpers. This card by Brenda shows how they don't have to be for Christmas.
