Hello! I know it has been a little while since I posted here – almost two months ago. It’s not because I haven’t been crafting, it is just that my life has been super busy. However the good news is that I am now on my summer holiday break, and I have just finished the hardest and most challenging year of my teaching career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Penny Black<\/a> have been very busy releasing some new Christmas awesomeness in two releases – Season of Hope and Winter Wishes. Due to COVID, things took a little longer to reach me, but you will be pleased to now that I have a lot lined up to show you this coming week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first project isn’t a card, but rather a Christmas decor piece using the Mirthful<\/a> and Winter Greens<\/a> creative dies. I love both of these dies as they are slightly bigger than usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Joy is popped up on some foam squares, but the leaves are adhered to the base, which is a whole piece of Neenah solar white card stock. The ‘To the World’ sentiment is from an older Christmas set called Holiday Snippets<\/a> – I reach for this set every year and white heat embossed it onto black card stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I added some pearl drops to the berries to add some dimension. I simply love how it turned out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next up is a sweet little winter scene using some cute critters from the Scarved Sweeties<\/a> set. This one is pretty straight forward – stamped and coloured with Copics and then I added some white gel pen detail for the snow. The trees in the background are from the Snowfield Friends<\/a> stamp set. I really love creating scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
