Non-traditional colours

For the last challenge for this year, Granmargaret asked the Christmas Card Club to use non-traditional colours. I've used offcuts of DCWV papers and a large snowflake cut on my Scan n Cut, with another underneath, held with the brad, with a strip of turquoise mirror card embossed with the star of wonder embossing folder. The snowmen are lovely and shiny irl, but they don't show to full advantage in the photo.

CHNC challenge 207

For CHNC challenge 207 I'm asking to see any urgently needed Christmas creations. I'm cheating a bit because these were made a while ago, but hadn't been shown.

These are five quick cards using some vintage pictures that I've had for ages (the five are all the same) mounted on to some small stardream sparkly card blanks, with the addition of the sentiments that seem to go with the vintage pictures.

This is my design card for the Cheerful stamp pad challenge 101: signs of Christmas. Please click on the link to see the lovely crafting of the rest of the team and we would love you to join in our challenge.

The image is a super one kindly provided by Stitchy Bear Stamps by Gingerloft called 'head first'. I digitally put this on a deep blue background and added the lyrics of the song in white. I then printed this out and coloured the image with spectrum noirs, adding some Art Institute glitter as snow. The snowflakes were punched out using some white pearlescent card and I put some quickie glue here and there to sprinkle some more of the Art Institute glitter.

Glory of Christmas challenge 48: candy canes and/or gingerbread

This is my design card for the Glory of Christmas challenge 48: candy canes and/or gingerbread. Please click on the link to see the lovely crafting of the rest of the team and we would love you to join in our challenge.

I managed to feature both candy canes and gingerbread on my card thanks to the Cosy Christmas collection paper that I used, mounted on to mirror card before matting on to the shaped card blank, rounding the corners with a punch.

Simply layered the die cut labels, cut on the left with the lovely little gingerbread, felt button and twine.

I based the card on the sketch given for Atlantic hearts sketch 84:

Photo had to be taken slanted because there was so much reflection on the mirror card that there was either glare or a picture of me with the camera! The sentiment, of course, is also mirror card.

CHNC challenge 206: bright colours

Incredible that we are now getting well into December and nearer to Christmas Day - less than three weeks  now. So it is the time to catch up with making all those cards and other Christmas creations that still need to be done. I'd love to see your cards linked into my challenges - CHNC challenge 206 starts today and this month's CHNC challenge extra for December continues right through till the end of the year.

For my card for my CHNC challenge 206: bright colours, I've used papers from 'traditional Christmas' pack by Wild Rose Studio and various washi tapes, glittered flowers from Hobbycraft and a couple of sentiment panels from Craftwork Cards.

Fan-tastic Tuesday challenge 64

This is my design card for Fan-tastic Tuesday challenge 64: anything goes with a twist ... embossing. Please click on the link to see the lovely designs of the rest of the team and join in our challenge.

I've used one of my favourite digital images by the sponsor, The Stamping Boutique, called 'for Santa', colouring with spectrum noir. The deep wine coloured embossed paper background is from Kaisercraft Turtle Dove pad and the matt silver embossed panel was run through the cuttlebug with a Sheena Douglass embossing folder. The image and the sentiment oval are raised up with 3D foam to give a bit more dimension to the card.

This is another label shaped card which I edged with a gold pen, doing the same with the Kanban frame. In the middle of the frame is the picture of the three wise men which has been covered with a domed acetate with the same picture, so that from certain angles it looks 3D.

This is for Pinspirational 129 which shows a Christmas nativity picture:
