Christmas Card Club Challenge #22 Winter Wonderland

Hi Crafters,

I'm a day or two late posting my card for the Christmas Card Club, so I'm sending my apologies to the group but better late than never as the saying goes :o)

Here's my contribution...

The image is printed from a CD Rom I believe but for the life of me I can't locate which one and it was in a folder of things that I'd printed last year and never used - note to self...write on the back of printed items where they came from!

I then used an MFT scalloped, wavy border die to create the snowy foreground and some Lea'bilities Fir Tree Dies to match in with the trees in the picture and bring it all together. The sentiment die is made by Apple Blossom.

Please take a peek at the other ladies creations in the group their links are below:

B for Bare Essentials

Hello... back again...

Scroll down for my earlier post

The challenge over at ABC Christmas challenge Blog is 'B for Bare Essentials' so you have to use a bare minimum of embellishments. I found it quite difficult to leave it with only one snowflake but here is my card... 

Just a bit of matting and layering, 3D Barkley image, a sentiment stamp and two snowflakes layered up on top of each other with a glitter dome in the middle.

I'm entering this in to the challenges at:

ABC Christmas challenge - 'B for Bare Essentials'

Winter Wonderland - A Dog is not just for Christmas

 

This is also my 3rd Christmas card make for 2014 so I'm now back on track for my 'One a week' challenge.

 

Thanks for stopping by again,

Five Jolly Snowmen

Evening all,
Just thought I would pop in and share the last five cards that I have made, and I am so chuffed coz' that's me all finished on the Christmas card front for this year, phew. It was a mad rush at the end and so my New Years resolution is definitely going to be that I must make a Christmas card every week next year so that I have a stash of them by the time it comes round again.
I used a gorgeous Penny Black stamp called 'Warm and Cold Snowman', my Promarkers, lots of different embossing folders (although you are hard pressed to see the embossing in the photo I'm afraid) a Tim Holtz edge die and some gingham ribbon.

He's such a cute little fellow don't you think?
I'm entering in to the following challenges:

Papertake Weekly - Last Christmas... Card of the Year

Crafty Little Fairies - Let It Snow

Bearly-Mine Challenge - Anything Goes

Through The Craftroom Door - Anything Goes

Winter Wonderland - Ribbon and Pearls
Penny Black and More Challenge - Traditional Christmas Colours

 

That's it from me this evening, I'm off to finish wrapping the last few presents and watch a bit of TV.
