Joy & Traditions

 

Well Sue's great challenge this fortnight is for our cards to have snowballs & glitter...

 

Card 1 'Joy' - my snowballs look huge ( have to dodge them for sure), & loved using my stickles for that glittery effect around my little house & on the snow balls.   I downloaded the little home image & fussy cut it, plus used some lovely BG Christmas pp & ribbon.

 

My 2nd card titled 'Traditions'

 

 

has more of those snowballs plus glitter on the tree baubles...but it doesn't show here (boo hoo)

 

I cant wait to see the ladies cards this time...they will be very beautiful!

Christmas Card Club - This fortnight it is my choice!

My choice for the challenge for this fortnights Christmas Card Club is a 3 fold card with Christmas colours.

So I have been making 2 cards per challenge so far, but I decided I would make 3 cards this time..I really want to be in front by early December.

Card One - Merry Christmas to all, & to all a goodnight.

 

This is October Afternoon pp & ephemera with cream CS

 

I have not made one of these cards before, & loved this idea, so will make a couple of birthday cards now.

 

 

 

Card Two - Merry Christmas

 

I have again used October Afternoon pp & ephemera with cream CS, such a lovely style of card.

 

Card Three - Merry Christmas (once again)

 

With this one I used my favourite style of card, using Graphic 45 pp for this vintage 3 fold card.  Just love the rich colours of Christmas here.

 

 

And here is the lucky duck RAK to be won by this fortnight's players.  I will use a Random Generator on Sunday morning 10 March...hope you win it!!

I have kept it relatively flat for posting OS.

 

 

Thnk you for looking,

I'm Dreaming

 

 

Here is my card for Dawn challenge at our wonderful Christmas Card Club.

Her challenge was no stamped images, just words.  So although this looks a plain-jane card, I used lots of mixed media techniques to get here.  I love pinks & blues for Christmas...lovely little change from the usual colours.

I used light white CS, & a template that is from KC & is only words. So used my fave product at the moment - Gesso- & smothered the template.  Had to let that dry & gave it a good 3 hours, then got my inks on a piece of soft fabric & ribbed them gently over the dried CS. The colour sticks on the un Gesso'd & that highlights the words.  I used 3 diff coloured inks, & also gesso'd another page with pinks. After the pink was dry I punched out lots of hearts which will surely come in handy!  I then used a BG Christmas 'I'm Dreaming' sticker along with 2 pink hears on foam tape to give dimension to add colour & texture to the card.

 

I have also made a 2nd card, as I am trying to do this year & here it is..

 

 

I have used the same Gesso techniques, with a few more embells.

 

 

Hope you like them!

 

Hugs dear card making gals!

Silver Bells....

 

Here I am a tad late again, with a card from Lizzie's 'musical' challenge.

 

With some fab elements from an October Afternoon Christmas pack, I fashioned a quick little Christmas card I titled 'Silver Bells'. But not a bell in sight!

My favourite things....on a card

 

This fortnights topic at the fabbo Christmas Card Club is Sue W's 'favourite things'.

What a great idea Sue - thank you.

Christmas gift tags

It is my turn over at our Christmas Card Club, so my critera was for 4 small cards or 4 tags.

I choose to make the tags, as I always leave tthem far too late to organise & have to use stick on ones!

I really had fun playing with Basic Gray papers, & embellies & some hand made flowers too.

I hope you all over at CCC have enjoyed this little challenge too.

Thanks for taking a peep,

Hugs Debi xxx

Hope you get a smile when you read my card for Sue C's choice for our Christmas Card Club.  I certainly enjoyed making this one.
