Snuggle up

Hello lovely people,

Here we go again with a new challenge at Crafty Little Fairies and very sadly, it is our last ever challenge :-(

Our final theme for you is... HOLLY AND/OR IVY

Well, it pretty much had to be another Christmas card with that theme didn't it?! 
I've done a stepper design and there is holly both on my image and the little charm I added.


These stepper designs are great for using up quite small bits of DP and I love adding a little detail to the top of the front step with a border punch.


I always add a strip of card in the centre of my stepper designs so that it can't slip open when standing so I thought I'd show you, just in case you're interested!


And this post wouldn't be complete without a close up of the sweet bunnies all cosy in their stocking.


Card recipe;
