Christmas Card Club Challenge #25 - Use Die Cuts

 Hi Crafters,

It's our last challenge of the year and Shaz has asked us to use 

DIE CUTS

I've been playing with my 'Santa's Helper' set of dies by Sizzix and created this fun little scene. I used an embossing folder from the Apple Blossom range for the background and inked the edges with Distress Ink and then added a festive ribbon.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

CHNC Every Saturday - #519 ATG Christmas

I still have more cards to make for Christmas even though I've been making them all year. The lockdowns and the fact that shops have been closed has sent more card orders my way as folks were having a difficult job finding greetings cards that they needed so I have been really busy this year....still it's kept me occupied and the time has gone so quickly. We are only 3 weeks away from the Big Day so I'd better get my skates on as they say.

Take care,

Lorraine
