Christmas Card Club Challenge #16 - Christmas Activities

Hi Crafters,

Two weeks have gone by and it's time to share some Christmas cards for our Christmas Card Club Challenge.

The theme this week really made me get my thinking cap on regarding what relevant things I had in my stash to go along with Maureen's choice...although we have the option of Anything Goes now too.

CHRISTMAS ACTIVITIES

(Sleigh, Sled, Ski's)

I decided to make a few of the same design as my pile of Christmas cards needed filling out I thought.

These were created using some gold glittery papers from a Dovecrafts paper pad called 'Time To Sparkle' and some fabulous shaped gold ribbon featuring the sleigh and trees. The sentiment is an Apple Blossom Die.

There are 4 pictured here but I made 8! and still have plenty of that gorgeous ribbon left :o)

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Rudolph Day Challenge - July/August Challenge

Christmas With The Cuties - #18 Add Some Sparkle

CHNC Every Saturday - #397 ATG Christmas

I usually start to sell my Christmas cards on my stall from next month but I don't feel ready at all.

How are your festive cards coming along?

Please take a look at the rest of our groups cards, the links to their blogs are in the tab at the top of my blog.

Thanks for visiting, it's great to see you here.

Christmas Card Club Challenge #2 Sleigh

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.

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.
