Happy hump day everyone! Today I'm sharing a card for this week's challenge over at Just Us Girls where it's anything goes Stencil Week:

I was lucky enough recently to be gifted this fabulous Christmas stencil by my dear crafty friend Elizabeth, who is herself the absolute queen of stencils, so how could I not use it for a card for this week's JUGS challenge - take a look at my card:

Here's the low-down on today's card:

The stencil is called Christmas Bauhaus by Uniko (they also do a similar non-festive design which is already in my shopping basket) and consists of three layers that piece together to create this fun design. I stayed with traditional red and green for my colour scheme today, and cut a base in mat in the same colours before adding my stencilled panel and a heat-embossed retired sentiment from the 'Greetings from Santa' stamp set. The only other thing I needed to do was add a bright red shiny enamel dot to Santa's nose:

Isn't that just so fun?! I'm also linking today's card up over at Inspire.Create where the theme is Christmas. 

Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:

Today I have a quick post to share a card I made last week using the sketch layout over at Sunday Stamps:

I went with a collection of festive images for a cute Christmas card - take a look:

Here's the low-down on today's card:

I saw those little squares and immediately knew that they would give me the opportunity to have a play with a new stencil that my dear crafty friend Elizabeth recently gifted me: the Christmas Bauhaus stencil from Uniko. I absolutely love it and can assure you that you will be seeing more of it in its entirety in the future (I added a sample of that in the photo at the bottom of the post), however on today's card I snipped the images apart and mounted a selection of them on Postage Die bases, finishing with the Santa uppermost so that I could add a cute red button nose:

A simple sentiment from the new Greetings For You pack and some gold pearls complete my card.

Did I say how much I love this stencil?! The  modern, whimsical images are so cute.

Enjoy your evening and I'll be back soon with another project. Until then, happy stampin'!
