Christmas Card Club Challenge #23 Christmas Wreath

 Hi Crafters,

We are on to challenge number 23 at the Christmas Card Club so nearly to the end of our card-making year, it has flown by so quickly but we all have a good supply of Christmas cards in our stash now ready for the big day. If you'd like to join us and get ahead with your Christmas card making for 2022 then please contact Rachel who will tell you all about it.

Now on to my cards for this time....

These are for the kitty lovers amongst you :o)

Recipe

Both cards are made from digital downloads from Card-Making Downloads.com

I used a Carnation Crafts Tattered Frame Die for the gold backing layer and then fussy cut all the decoupage and used glossy accents for the kitty's nose and eyes. Gems in the centre of the poinsettia flower.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

CHNC Every Saturday - #567 ATG Christmas

I hope you enjoy the rest of your Sunday, it's lovely and sunny here at the moment albeit rather cold. I much prefer cold, crisp sunny days to the wet and dank ones we've had of late.

See you again soon,

Christmas Card Club Challenge #21 - C.A.S. Wreath

Hi Crafters,

I hope you are enjoying your Saturday morning and doing whatever makes you happy.

I'm posting my CCC card a day early as usual as I have another DT card for tomorrow. Our Karen has chosen 'CAS Wreaths' for the theme this time and I must admit I have not been looking forward to the CAS bit. I always struggle with the empty white space and can't quite leave it alone, thus ending up with a not so CAS card. But this is my entry so here goes...

Recipe
Wreath - Classic Christmas Stamp Set (magazine freebie)
DI Markers
Red Stickles
Penny Black Christmas Sentiment Stamp
Tri-boss Embossing Folder

In fact I think it turned out OK, so I made four of them...

Challenges I'd like to enter:
Creative Inspirations - Clean & Simple or Fussy & Fancy (CAS)
Addicted To CAS - #74 Sparkle (Stickles for Berries)

These are ideal for posting as they are completely flat. I think I will use this design again but in  non-traditional colours next time for a different look, what do you think?

Well that's all from me today, thanks for visiting and I hope you liked my Christmas cards.

See you soon,

Lorraine
