Having a laugh with Embellished Events

We're already a week into November so it's definitely time to get serious about Christmas cards now. Every Thursday I post a fast card for my Three Minute Thursday slot and today I've made a festive card using Embellished Events, a set that will be your pal all year round! There's nothing serious about this cute card though - come and see:


This little santa hat always makes me smile with its Ho Ho Ho sentiment - the sentiment is attached to the image so you can see how speedy it is to make this card!


I used dimensionals to mount my laughing hat on a snippet of designer paper from the Seasons of Style range and added a candy dot embellishment. Stampin' Up candy dots are the most fabul.... Pardon? Oh. Apparently I've already mentioned how fabulous they are 183 and a half times since last week!

I've been using up the snippets on my desk today so maybe I can pop over to Di's snippety playground. It's a bit nippy noodles outside but I've got my fleecy vest and voluminous bloomers on, and a spot of hopscotch is sure to warm us up!

Here's what you'll need to make this project
Stamps: Embellished Events
Ink: Real Red
Card stock: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler
Other: Candy dots, Season of Style designer paper, stamp-a-majig

When my youngest son was at playgroup he was very fond of one of the play leaders and told me he was going to marry her. "Really," I said. "And what will you wear at your wedding?" My son was deep in his hat phase at the time and replied that he would wear his fireman's hat. "Won't you be a little chilly in just a fireman's hat?" I suggested. "Oh no," he said. "I'll wear pants as well!"

See you tomorrow,

  8. Cute little card - perfect for a quick make.
    I loved your use of the phrase nippy noodles - Emily and I use that all the time, but I've never hear anyone else say it - have we been reading the same books I wonder?! x x

  10. It must be that time of year. My fingers are itching for all things crafty! Wafting in waves of wonderfulness on your blog. (How's that for alliteration?) Methinks this could be the perfect card for a certain group of eager Year 5/6's that I know :)
