Christmas Card Club Challenge #10 Base Your Card on a Christmas Carol

Hi Crafters,

We're another week closer to Christmas and I have created more cards for my Christmas card box thanks to our fabulous little challenge every fortnight.

This week Christine would like us to base our card on a Christmas Carol and here's mine...

'The First Noel'

Recipe

Image - Woodware Stamp - Noel Tags

Various Christmas papers from stash

Distress Inking for backgrounds

Twine

Card Candy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've created three variations using this lovely Woodware stamp, inking the backgrounds and then stamping and heat embossing the stamped image for more definition. I then stamped the images again, cut out and popped them up with foam squares for a subtle 3D effect.

I hope you like them.

As You Like It Challenge - Favourite Christmas Carol & WHY

Hi Crafters,

I'm popping in today with my last inspirational card for the new challenge at As You Like It.

As You Like It is the last of my three design teams that I have decided to step down from, if you saw my post last Sunday you will know the reasons why, but suffice to say I was trying to fit too much in to my time. I will miss all the ladies on the team, I had a fab time creating for these challenges and intend to join in a challenge or two when I can in the future.

So....

We'd like to see your Favourite Christmas Carol and please tell us Why it is your favourite.

I have a few favourite Carols really but I've chosen

'Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly'

'Tis the Season to be Jolly'

Fa, la, la, la, la, - la, la, la, la.

I think this is one of the most cheerful carols and I really love to sing it.

Christmas Card Club Challenge #11 Christmas Carol

Hi Crafters,

Today I'm here to share another Christmas card creation on behalf of the Christmas Card Club.

This week Rita asked us to use the theme of a Christmas Carol.

I have gone with 'Away in a Manger'

Here's another very flat Christmas card for my growing collection.

Recipe

Nativity Scene Die - Apple Blossom Crafts

Glitter Card

How simple was that?!

These would be great for batch making. After I had cut the die from Centura Pearl card I covered the star with a pale lemon glitter and popped it back in the cut shape. I also have the letters from the cut out sentiment to use on another project.

I hope you will visit the rest of the ladies in our Christmas group for some festive inspiration, their links are in the tab at the top of my blog, however my card is a day early so theirs will be up tomorrow.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

CHNC on Saturday - #283 Use a Sentiment

Crafting From the Heart - #113 ATG

Fab 'n' Funky - #306 Christmas

I will be here again tomorrow with my DT card for 613 Avenue Create, in the mean time I hope you are having a great start to the holiday weekend.
