This is my card for my CHNC challenge 579 - please click on the link to find out what it's all about and I hope you'll be able to join in with your Christmas designs - anything goes as long as it's Christmas with the optional theme of 'use a sentiment'.

My card was made with background and toppers from a large kit bought before Christmas 2020 from Create and Craft. I made quite a few cards from the kit for that Christmas and 2021 and still have a lot left ... some of which was still out at the beginning of this year so I've made several cards with it instead of putting it away ... and this is one of them, with the addition of  a sentiment and the lovely Italian Options golden poinsettias.

CHNC challenge 577

This is my card for my CHNC challenge 577 - please click on the link to find out what it's all about and I hope you'll be able to join in with your Christmas designs - anything goes as long as it's Christmas with the optional theme of 'feature a creature (any animal}'.

This was a commissioned card requested by a friend whose relatives have a dog she calls her 'Grandog'. There was a photo of him with a floppy sun hat on, so I found a digital picture of a similar dot, put a digital hat on him and created the background with the sentiment. This was then printed out and matted on to gold mirror card with the addition of the poinsettias.

I'm showing three similar cards using some offcuts of Christmas papers embellished with poinsettias and a Christmas felt wreath from The Works. Two of the cards are slimline ones which open tent wise and an A6 card that opens from the side. The 'Merry Christmas' sentiments are actually dark green although they look different here.
