Bouquet Bear

Christmas would usually be my favourite crafting occasion, but as it's January I'm not feeling the festive vibe at the moment, so I've switched my allegiance to birthdays for the first challenge of 2026 at As You Like It Challenge.  Today's card is for my Auntie, whose birthday is next week.

Santa Belly

I've made this fat santa belly card from bright red card with some splashes of white, black and gold.  It was quite quick to make, and I love the fun design.

Birthday Gnome

Today's card is for one of my lovely As You Like It Challenge teamies.  My gnome image is watercoloured on Ecoline Watercolour Card with Ranger Distress Ink Reinkers. I've framed him with some pretty papers and added a personalised typed sentiment.

Chimney Santa

I love using glitter on cards, especially to create the effect of snow. I love the sparkle and much prefer it to gold or silver card (which is also difficult to photograph).  I've used glitter card to create the snow layers on this die cut card. It's a tent fold, so does actually stand upright and is a fun shaped card for Christmas.

Daisy Tilda

I've not used my Tilda stamps for a while and inked this sweet flower girl for a birthday card.  I really enjoy using these images when I make the effort to ink a rubber stamp rather than take the digi option, and I'm really pleased how she turned out.

I've framed her with my favourite embellishments, flowers and ribbon.  I love that they can bring out  accent colours from the image, and are soft but create texture. They can be a little bulky for mailing, but I love the 3D effect.  You can share your favourite embellishments with us this week at As You Like It Challenge.

Flower Bunny

I love a lot of cute and furry critters, but bunnies are one of my all time favourites.  I used to have a pet bunny when I was younger, and love to see them hopping around in the wild. I've used a bunny with daisy image for my card today which reminds me of Spring when the days are starting to get longer and warmer!

Lilac Heffalump

Ribbon is one of my favourite embellishments, and I have boxes of it in dozens of colours and shades.  My favourite is satin, but today I've used a gingham one which tones better with my card colours. I love the 3D effect on a card which makes it look more handcrafted when it's gifted.

Flower Umbrella Bear

I've made this beary-sweet card for one of my As You Like It Challenge teamies.  I've watercoloured him on Ecoline Watercolour Card with Ranger Distress Ink Reinkers.  I've inked around him by creating a mask and added a personalised typed sentiment.
