Christmas Card Club Challenge - #12 Star of Wonder or Anything Goes

Hi Crafters,

Today is the twelfth challenge of our Christmas Card Club so each of the members should have at least twelve cards set aside for Christmas this year! A great start to alleviate the panic nearer the big day.

I have chosen to go with the Anything Goes option for today's card, thanks Zoe for a great theme this time.

Recipe

Die - Christmas Scene Mini Background  - Sue Wilson

Sentiment Die - Creative Essentials

Snowflake Embossing Folder

Pebeo Silver Gilding Wax

In real life this gilding wax has a beautiful sheen to it but alas not in my photos.

A simple card to put together once the dies have been cut but one that could easily be given a different look just by changing the colour scheme.

This die happened to fall in to my basket while 'browsing' through Ebay, ahem. I thought it would be very useful as the inner rectangle could be replaced by an image or verse and this could easily be a winter Birthday card or similar as it's only the circular centre die cut that depicts Christmas.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Christmas Card Club Challenge #19 - Embossing Wet or Dry

Hi Crafters,

Thank you for all your kind comments yesterday regarding the loss of our beautiful cat Tina, we are all missing her dreadfully, she was such a character and to have her taken from us suddenly like that is very difficult to come to terms with.

On a brighter note it is only 96 days until Christmas Day and challenge #19 of our Christmas Card Club. I'm posting a day early again as I have another post for tomorrow.  My card features both wet and dry embossing.

Play time with Sue Wilson Dies

Hi Crafters,

 

Is everyone enjoying the weather, or maybe watching a bit of Wimbledon?

It's been a bit up and down here for the weather but just the right temperature for me this week at least - I found it too hot last week and didn't get as much done as I would have liked.
