Favourite non birthday at As You Like It

Good Morning Everyone
I hope you are all keeping safe. We've been busy, back to homeschooling but to be honest I can't do Tom's work if he gets stuck! 
Anyhoo, I was lucky enough to win the last challenge at As You Like It and they asked if I would be their GDT for the next 2 challenges. The first one starts today, and the theme....

What is your favourite non birthday card and don't forget to explain why!

Well, mine is Christmas cards especially if they have a snowman on them. I love colouring snowmen, and I love Christmas. I always hope that it snows so that I can build a snowman with my children (grumpy teenagers!)
Here's my card

The sponsor for this challenge is the fabulous..

I've used my favourite 'Mr Snowman' from Lili of the Valley and coloured him with promarkers. The background papers were also from LOTV.
I've used a Creative Expressions winter tree die, a Marianne Creatables fence die and a Spellbinders snowflake die. The sentiment tags are from Lili of the Valley.

Bumblebee fairy - Lili of the Valley DT

Good Morning Everyone, 
I hope you are all keeping safe and well. The Easter 'holidays' have finished so we are back to school work this morning.
In the meantime I have a card to share using the very cute 'Bumblebee Fairy' from Lili of the Valley. I used the rubber stamp for my card,  but she is available as a digital stamp.

I've coloured her with promarkers and added lots of glitter to her fairy wings. The background papers are from Dovecraft - Sweet Paris. I've used a Die namics fence die, a Hunkydory moonstone die and a die namics flower die.
BUT the big question is...why, no matter how many shades of 'pink' ribbon I have, can I never find one that matches the background papers?!

A little Book from Hunkydory

Hello Everyone, 
I hope you are all keeping safe and well. I needed a birthday card for my Brother from my Mum and Dad, and having used just about every male stamp I have for him over the years, I turned to a little Book of Hunkydory!

I added a bit of hessian and some green twine. The sentiment stamps are from Lili of the Valley. Very quick and easy - job done!!
