Christmas Card Club Challenge #19 - Woolly Hats and Gloves

Hi Crafters,

Happy Sunday to you all!
I've just returned from a weeks holiday on the East Coast, we had fabulous weather and couldn't have asked for more as it was late in the season and unexpected.
My absence explains my sporadic commenting last week so if I did not visit you then rest assured I will be popping along soon over the next few days.

Now on to why I'm here today, it's another Christmas Card Club project.

This time it was Kate's turn to choose the theme for our Christmas creations, she has given us 

Woolly Hats & Gloves

I've used another of these fabulous Craft Creations Decoupage images for my card.
She's wearing a hat and gloves and I'm guessing they're woolly so hope this fits the brief.

My Christmas card making is coming along a treat and I have quite a pile now so feel pretty pleased at this stage. Most of my family ones are made now and I have plenty for my stall too.

Please pop along to the other ladies in the group, they have all created some fantastic cards for this week - you know the drill by now that their blog links are in my top tab bar above.

See you soon,

2014 Catch Up

Hi Crafters,
Whilst sorting through some of my files on my computer I found a few pics of cards that I had not had a chance to share so thought I would show you now.

 This first photo is of a card I made for my husbands' Birthday using a decoupage sheet from Craft Creations but I really liked making the background best. I used a Spellbinders deep embossing folder and inked the cardstock afterwards with black soot distress ink picking up the embossing and then carefully applied Versamark clear embossing ink and clear powder over the raised parts, giving this gorgeous industrial effect.

 A close up view to show the embossing.

I thought I would do this again on another card but this time using an X-Cut embossing folder covered with tiny cogs.

Another close up

And in true Monty Python style -  now for something completely different...

 ... a Wedding Card. I made my own rolled roses with  an MFT die and used a Martha Stewart border punch for the accent piece.

This card was rather fun, inspired by something I saw on Pinterest, I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the spectacles a few times and layered them up to be a sturdy weight and popped them on foam pads.

 

I'd like to enter this last one in to the challenges at

 Come And Get It - Humorous Cards.

Quirky Crafts - #1 Clean & Simple

 

Well that's it from me today, thank you to everyone who has popped in here recently and left some fabulous comments, I really do appreciate it.

See you all soon,
