Watch This Snowman Come to Life with Polkadoodles :D

Have you seen the phenomenal NEW release from Polkadoodles? It's called Cozy Christmas and is packed full of some stunning designs!! I adore the Ho Ho Ho Snowmen! They are just soooo cute and such fun to colour, I've also teamed up the snowman with the Super Snowflakes stencil and some of Nikky's wonderful Stencil Butter Frostings too!! :D They're nice subtle colours, but you can easily make them bolder by ink blending first and adding them over the top! :D Christine xxx

White Christmas with Spellbinders :D

I made these three cards a couple of months back playing around with some of last years Christmas sets from Spellbinders along with some of the newer sets from this year with the film strip, wheel and post-it note, I just thought they'd work so nicely for some tone on tone simple Christmas cards! Enjoy the video! I only included footage of sticking on card together otherwise it'd have been really long and I cut out a bunch of card allocation and die-cutting to make it shorter too :D Have a wonderful day!
