Hi Crafters,
Well the first week of the new year is underway and we are back in the swing of our fortnightly challenge at our friendly Christmas Card Club. This first challenge has been set by Margaret our leader and she would like to see...
Gnomes, Pixies or Elves
Now this year I am determined to make multiple cards for each theme - we'll see how that pans out in the coming months :) - in an attempt to create an even larger stash of Christmas cards come the end of the year as I found that I still didn't have enough made by Christmas last year :/
So, here are my offerings....
Recipe

Paper - Berry Merry Pad by Jennifer Ellory
Winter Fun Border Die - Precious Marieke
Sentiment Label - Upcycled Christmas card
Ribbons from Stash
Glitter embossing powder
Challenge I'd like to enter:
CHNC Every Saturday - #367 ATG + Upcycle or use something old
(Sentiment label is from an old Christmas card.
~~~
Then I took myself out of my comfort zone and made a very CAS card...

Fun cards Lorraine. I like them both but the peeping one is just too cute!! I like the folded ribbons for added details on that too. Hope you achieve your goal. Hugs and Happy New Year Zoe x
Two gorgeous cards. My favourite is the second one, I love the adorable image and the white, embossed panel makes a lovely background. Thank you for joining in the Crafty Calendar Challenge this month. Good luck!

Two beauties Lorraine, the elf peeping out of his stocking is a perfect CAS card.
Two gorgeous cards Lorraine. Both in lovely Christmas colours, adorable images and both beautiful designed. I like the idea of the little coloured ribbontags on the second! hugs, Marlies
These are lovely Lorraine and I am impressed that you did two, a really good idea. I love the little ribbon tabs, such an unusual touch xx
Well done Lorraine on getting two cards made and what beauties they are too. Really cute images and fabulous designs, I really like the CAS one, Kate x
Two very adorable cards using images I haven't seen before. They are both sooooo cute. Hugs Mrs A.
Both are fab. Love the colorful and cuteness of #1 - and although you've got some nice layers, it's not too much...just right! That's a darling image. Great work on your CAS too, as the white embossed background shows off that adorable elf peeking out of his stocking! Well done! TFS & Hugs. Happy New Year as well.
Two gorgeous cards Lorraine, a brilliant start to your Christmas stash

These are both brilliant Lorraine but especially love the second one! I need to get a wriggle on and make sure I make multiples next time!!! Hugs rachel xx
Two super cards, especially like the first one. Cute images and lovely designs.
Thank you for joining our 'Something New' challenge this week at Allsorts.

These are both lovely, I think the CAS one is gorgeous with the embossed background.
It's a great idea to do extras when you make your cards, it's thinking up the design and layout that takes most of the time so I might just try that!

Both beautiful but love the second one with the little stocking elf
