Hi Crafters,
It's time for our friendly Christmas Card Club to meet again and our theme which was chosen by Maureen is 'Sleigh'.
I have used this fabulous image from Bugaboo Stamps featuring jolly old Santa and his sleigh in a snow globe.
Recipe
Image - Snow Globe - Santa's Sled - Bugaboo Stamps
Medium - Pro/flexmarkers
Papers - Me To You - Happy, Jolly Christmas
Kraft Card
Sizzix Word Die
Marianne Designs & Impression Obsession Snowflake Dies
MFT Stitched Square Dies
Crafters Companion Christmas Embossing Folder
Gems
Glamour Dust
I've seen lots of crafty folk recently making these types of backgrounds with patches of coordinating papers so I thought I would give that a go. I like how it turned out, especially using the MFT stitched square dies, which took all the work out of cutting and measuring. I embossed the panel behind Santa with a CC Christmas Words embossing folder but then covered most of it up with the snow globe, never mind. Lastly, I cut out the word 'believe' from my new set of Sizzix dies, loving these as there are so many combinations using the words included in it, and adhered it and the snowflakes to balance out the card.

Fun card Lorraine. Love the layout with a cute sleigh and Santa. Zx
ReplyDeleteThis card is so lovely. I really like the design and your cute, fun image.
ReplyDeleteI think I own the Sizzix word dies you used. I have not opened them yet, but it looks familiar. Looks like the perfect sized sentiment words to get lots of use from us both!
Such a lovely card and I love the patchwork design too. Great image and so beautifully coloured.
