Allsorts Challenge ~ For Men and Boys

A new Allsorts Challenge begins today and Ellie has chosen the theme of 'For Men and Boys'.  As always there is also the option of Anything Goes.

I've made a masculine Staggered Front Card.  The patterned papers are from an old Trimcraft paper pad, 'Sail Away'.  The sentiment is a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Best Year' set, stamped with Versafine Clair 'Nocturne'.

The Allsorts prizes this time are two A5 stamp sets from Sweet Poppy.

Stepper Christmas Card

Another Christmas card for the pile.  I saw this style of card demonstrated on the Nifty Noodles Crafting Facebook page yesterday.  I haven't seen this fold before, but it's really easy to make.

The patterned papers and topper are from a paper pad from The Works.  The sentiment is a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Dashing Deer' set.  As the text on the topper is grey, I stamped the sentiment with Versafine Clair 'Morning Mist.

Christmas Snippets

I'm on a mission to reduce my snippets pile and also keep ahead with my Christmas cards.

The patterned papers were all snippets from a paper pad from The Works, cut into 2cm strips.  The sentiment is a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Greatest Part of Christmas' set, stamped with SU 'Night of Navy'.  I used an SU punch for the navy blue mat for the sentiment.

I used stamps from the Stampin' Up 'Dashing Deer' set and stamped the images and sentiment with Versafine 'Monarch'. The mat and punched snowflakes are silver pearlised paper.
