Good afternoon and a happy new year to you. A bit later posting today as I have spent this morning taking down all of the Christmas decorations. This weekend was the first opportunity we had and as long as they were down before twelfth night I was okay with that.
It's the first Saturday in the month so we have a new challenge for you over at Crafty Calendar and a nice easy theme for you to start the year:

Bold Tidings Joy to the World Snowman Christmas Card
Good morning, I hope you are keeping safe and well. Here in the UK today snow has arrived. In my family they joke that I only have to look at ice and snow and I fall over and true to form I slipped over on the ice yesterday so today I'm nursing a grazed knee and a few aches and pains but luckily nothing major.
I have been doing bit of batch card making so I have four cards to share today with the same design only different colours
- Tim Holtz Bold Tidings #2 by Stampers Anonymous CMS419 stamped on black card and heat embossed in white. I masked out the O from joy and replaced it with the snowman from the My Favorite Things Christmas Cuteness stamp set
- The backgrounds are ink blended using Distress Oxides and then I have stamped snowflakes on it which were then heat embossed in silver.

Cheerleader Ellie from Paper Nest Dolls Birthday Card
Good morning to you. I hope you are safe and well. Not a Halloween card.....Encouraged by the Halloween stencil I created in Cricut Design Space (card was posted a couple of weeks ago - Halloween ghost stencil) I set myself the task of creating a confetti/ticker tape stencil but this time not just a one stencil, I wanted it to be a layering stencil. I ended up creating a four layer stencil and I don't think it turned out too badly.
- A four layer confetti/ticker tape stencil created using Cricut Design Space, Each layer was cut out of Mylar and then I ink blended through them onto white card. I have used a different ink colour for each stencil layer and I think it worked out okay.
- The digi stamp is Cheerleader Ellie from Paper Nest Dolls coloured with copics.

- The sentiment is from the same stamp set and has been heat embossed in white.
