CHNC challenge 453

This is my design card for my CHNC challenge 453 -  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 'something beginning with the letter S'.

For my card I used a background from a set of cards from The Works, plus some chipboard snowflakes from Poundland, a bauble tag from Wilko and a sparkly Merry Christmas greeting from Hobbycraft (sorry, this doesn't show up too well here).

My main 'something beginning with the letter S' is, of course, snow and snowflakes ... with a sparkly sentiment too.

Just for you

This card was made up of various offcuts which included the middle piece cut from a notecard from a set, with some chipboard scalloped circles and some other chipboard pieces including the sentiment. The piece of card across the middle with the sort of chevron pattern is silver foiled, although this doesn't show up in the photo. I love the colour combo of the lilacs and blues.

This is my design card for my CHNC challenge 452 -  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 'embossing (wet or dry)'.

I used one of my newly acquired Crafter's Companion Gemini die cut and emboss folders with silver mirror card, mounting on to gold mirror and then on to the black card with the 'Away in a Manger' sentiment added from a Hunkydory set.

It wasn't easy getting a photo because of the glare or a reflection of myself in the mirror card - lol, so this is the best I could do.

Not enough candles

This is a card I made and sent earlier in the year for a cousin who is just six months younger than me ... I always tease about age, so I wrote inside that I was sorry there weren't enough candles - lol!

With deepest sympathy at this difficult time

This is a commissioned  sympathy card that I was asked to make a while ago. The background was created on lilac paper randomly stamping one of my favourite Penny Black stamps called sparklers inked with memento grape jelly. I also stamped with the Penny Black butterfly edge stamp, also inked with the grape jelly. The panel with the lilies was upcycled from an old card, the ribbon with tiny silver studs was from Hobbycraft. I added the sentiment circle and the butterflies with 3D wings from Docrafts.

Happy birthday daughter-in-law

This is a commissioned card for a friend to give to her daughter-in-law. I used backing card and elements from Kanban, cutting the easel, mat and side floral piece using a Die'sire create-a-card floral easel set from Crafter's Companion. The floral piece was cut from a pearlescent card. I added lace and ribbon to the base with the sentiments to act as a stopper.

Unfortunately, the photos don't show the lovely copper foiling on the butterflies - much better irl.
