Hello everyone. I’ve got another of my samples from Sunday’s Clarity Social TV show to share with you today, featuring a couple of the Wee Christmas Family & Friends Silhouettes on one of the Landscape toppers – I love these little characters!

I first chose one of the smaller tags from the Landscapes set and cut it down to a square. Next was to stamp the two busy little kids with their piles of presents (there’s one of them in each stamp set) in black Archival ink and add a mount of Amazonia companion paper.

I decided to use an A6 card blank for this one and embossed a frame onto it with a rectangle embedder and a ball tool. I could then position my topper within it, sitting over to the left of the card.

Finally, I added one of the Bijou Drop Shadow sentiments in black Archival ink and scattered a few of the tiny snowflakes from the Silhouettes stamp set around it using ‘cobalt’ Archival (the stamp pens are perfect for this)

This little pair do look very purposeful as they’re trotting off with the piles of presents – I’m not sure whether they’re on a delivery mission or making off with them to open round the corner! I’m also trying to channel cooler thoughts with these blue tones, as we’re heading into our 5th heatwave of the year this week – it looks like 2026 will be the warmest year on record in the UK (and it’s not been a fun experience). I’d really welcome some cooler rainy days!

Anyway, enough of my complaining about the weather (although it is a favourite British pastime!) I’m going to share this little pair with a couple of current challenges. Love Those Pretty Papers have got ‘skies’ as their optional twist and it’s always ‘anything goes’ at Holly & Ivy.
