Four quick Christmas cards

Four quick Christmas cards - just cutting and sticking involved - using some of the recent QVC kit. They aren't paricularly my 'cup of tea', but I need to make a lot ready for selling for Tearfund and BMS at church, so some 'quick to make' ones like this help to swell the stocks - and this type of card will also sell quite well.

It was this week's Sparkle creations Christmas challenge 36: 'deep red, black and cream/vanilla' that prompted me to choose the elements. The backgrounds are from another kit, with the addition of some Anita's glitterations snowflakes here and there.

The cards are much more 'blingy' irl - just right for Character cafe 28: 'bright sparkle card'.





They are also for:

Sundays with Crissy 7: 'Christmas in July'
Ann's creative nook 100: 'Christmas in August'
Christmas cards all year round: 'snowflakes'
Crafty Ann 21: 'Christmas in August' - please see my post here about Ann's challenge blog moving
ABC Christmas: 'Q is for quick an easy'
Bunny Zoe 3: 'vintage'
