Love this cute little snow scene! That little mouse hanging on for dear life is too funny!

I colored with copics and used Lawn Fawn rectangle and lacy rectangle dies. I used the Simon Says snow stencil with Lawn Fawn white stencil paste. It's a bit hard to see the snow in this picture, but it adds a nice texture to the card.  I embossed one of the sentiments that is included in the stamp set. The other sentiment is Have an "ice" Holiday Season.

Something New

Celebrating Snow (wood mount stamp) 4095H

Snowflake Stitch Frames 51-375

Joy to the World 30-143 used clear sentiment

SnowFlake Z-fold card (Silhouette cut file)

Trinity Stamps Vanilla Sugar clay snowflakes

This little hedgie is a new to me stamp, but I believe it has been around since 2010. I wish Penny Black would release new hedgie images. I sure miss them! I guess I have to treasure the stamps I do have!

I used a Silhouette cut file for my snowflake card base. I used the snowflake stitch die to fit inside the base, adding a dark blue accent behind the die so it shows through in the cut out dots around the border of the die. From there I colored with copics and added a few more white Trinity snowflakes. Pretty simple indeed!

The Z fold card folds in a Z or will fold over like doors as well. Super cute design and perfect with the snowflake theme.

Lori Whitlock 2026 Calendar Tutorial

 It's my turn for a tutorial over on the Lori Whitlock Blog today.

Sticky Note Calendar-2026

Pattern Fill Set Summer Splash

3 Valentine Gnomes (Silhouette)

Pictured above are the pieces I used for this project. 

3 pieces for the calendar holder cut file, some Lori Whitlock pattern fill paper  and some paper inserts (3x3.25 inches) I made for the holder since I didn't have a sticky notepad. I cut the pieces and stamped some inspirational sentiments on each sheet. You will get 12 full sheets and 4 partial pieces that still work! I cut 2 sets of these.

Opening the calendar  in Silhouette it imports to cut all the print, so you have to highlight and choose cut edge to cut them out properly. You also have to enlarge the print and cut length just a wee bit to allow for cutting all the calendar pages. I used regular printer paper for this part. 

This is what it looks like in the Silhouette software when set  to cut edge. Stack and staple them together after cutting them out.

I added the stamped inserts and the little peeking gnome on the back for a bit of fun and I was all done! 

I hope you enjoyed this quick little project. It is a great addition to your desk and will keep you on track for 2026!

Spellbinders Noel RSC-013

I colored this darling stamp in triplicate and then finished each one of them off a bit differently. 

The holly leaf frame on the top card was cut with my Silhouette and the other two cards I used Spellbinders dies.

I added glittery ground snow and used a white gel pen to add the snowy sky. The last one has part of a Simon Says sentiment strip.

Bio.

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.

I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself. This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

Penny Black Mid Way Inspiration=ATG or Snow/Snowmen

Penny Black Saturday Challenge

 Mid-Way Reminder 

December Challenge

Anything Goes

or the optional theme-

Snow/Snowman

Tiny Tinsel 31-158 (SSS)

Slimline Zig-Zag 51-733

Modern Xmas Tree 51-400

Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders

When I saw this adorable stamp set, I knew it was designed just for me LOL! I just fell in love with it and had to have it. So so cute. I stamped, colored and cut out the critters for my slimline card. (there are matching dies for this stamp set but I didn't have them). 

To start my card, I used two slimline pinked panels for the card base. I then blended a bit of sky colored ink on the background before starting my little scene. I then glued on my hillside.  I colored the modern x-mas tree die cuts to match the little critters outfits and tucked them in behind and in front of the stitched hillside, along with the critters. I then stamped the sentiment that is included in the stamp set and added few little misc snowflakes on the hillside for the finishing touch. 

So cute! I adore Penny Black critters!
