Bah Humbug Challenge 33

My don't the weeks go by quickly??  It is time again for the Bah Humbug challenge and this time the theme is 'charms'.  I searched through all my stash and couldn't find any Christmas charms so resorted to stamping a tree onto black shrink plastic with moonlight white Brilliance ink and making a charm.  I stamped the same tree onto black card and embossed with sparkle embossing powder and mounted this onto layers cut with Nestabilities.  Background paper is from a Papermania pad which I've had for a while (maybe last Christmas or even the one before that) with the addition of some Cuttlebug snowflake embossed silver card and a sentiment from a current set of Papermania Christmas greeting stamps. It was finished off with some ribbon and pearls from my stash. The stamp is an old one by Inca Stamps.

Woman

I came across this image while I was tidying my workspace (yet again) - it is a rub down image from Papermania Born To Shop range.  Background papers are from My Minds Eye and the little tags on the flower were made using a tiny tags punch and stamps from stampin Up fastened with a matching brad.

Popcorn

This Popcorn Bear card was made using a CD from Crafters Companion and was quite easy to make once I'd chosen and printed out the papers, image and border.  I made some matching flowers using a Nellies flower punch - quick and easy is good sometimes I find.

Two Birds

I just had to have a play with a recently acquired Sizzix die which I used to cut a shape from some card in my bits box(es), sponged the edges with distress inks and then thought "what next?"  I settled for a greeting stamped and cut using Stampin Up oval punches and two birds with leaves which are made using a Stampin Up punch. Background paper and the scraps used for the birds and leaves are also SU. luckily I also had just enough matching ribbon to complete the card.

Stitches and Wishes

                              
I decided to have a go at making a background paper using a digital scrapbooking programme and was quite pleased with the result. I thought this image from Retro Women stamp set by Tanda Stamps was just right to use with the background.  I added some paper lace tinted with Distress ink and a 'button' strip made with a cuttlebug embossing folder; greeting is from stampin Up,
