Your Christmas Challenge cards

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies,

Ladies please join me in wishing our dear Lilian a very Happy Birthday,  I hope you have a lovely day xx❤

Here we are on our favourite day of the week, I really look forward to opening your mail and messages each week that contain your challenge cards. It's always such a pleasant surprise. 

I think we must have had a months rain during the day yesterday, it just didn't seem to stop, the garden needed it though. I think Paul was hoping to do a bit of work on the Veg patch this weekend but it was just too wet and muddy!  Hopefully that means I get some crafting time in!!

What have you all been up to?  What ever it is I hope it was fun, I was thinking of you Karen, thinking how much easier it would have been to take the Boys on a nice walk or go to a park but the weather probably changed any activities to indoor fun!  Matt and the girls all finished work early because of the weather, the girls were home over an hour early, I think Matt said he finished a good two hours earlier than normal.

Michele

Three Fabulous Festive Cards designed by Michele for this weeks challenge.  I have said many times before that I love a Wreath card and these are no exception! The red frame on the first card really makes the focal point and sentiment pop!

The second and third card remind me of 'Barge painting' I love both designs.

Michele's Description:

''3 challenge cards from me. I used some free papers from a very old issue of Making Cards magazine. Added various bits -ribbon, holly die cuts, bling and they were finished.''

Thank you so much Michele for 3 fantastic Challenge cards XXX

Karen

Karen has designed a Snowflake Wreath card for this weeks Christmas card Challenge.

I really like the combination of Kraft card with White and and a touch of Gold, it works so well.

Karen's Description:

''Here’s a Christmas card for this week

The NOEL is Sue W and I cut a load of snowflakes in white and gold on ScanNCut (my Martha Stewart snowflake punch has died!)''

Thank you so much Karen for taking part in this weeks challenge XXX

Janet

Janet has designed 3 absolutely fabulous Christmas, perfect for this weeks challenge.  Janet had an order for a selection of Christmas cards and these are some of them.  The lady you have made them for will be absolutely delighted Janet. 

Janet's Description:

'' the papers and embellishments on my last card are LABLANCHE and the greetings are peel offs from HOBBY CRAFT.

The first two cards are made from papers I had left over from last year and I cannot remember the name of them. Again the greetings are peel offs are from HOBBY CRAFT.''

Thank you so much for making time to take part in this weeks challenge, I know that you must still be battling your way through boxes of craft goodies after your home upgrade. XXX

Lilian

Oh what a lovely Christmas scene you have created Lilian, I love your watercoloured background, using the water spritzing method to create snow is brilliant! 

The tree scene in the background Lilian has made with the 'Lovely as a Tree' stamp by SU.

The in the foreground we have the most adorable Snowman I have seen, his gorgeous fluffy red spotty scarf and hat really add to his cuteness!

Thank you so much for taking part in this weeks challenge my lovely XXX

Maria

A lovely 'Traditional' Christmas card from our Maria for this week's Christmas card Challenge.

There are so many things I love about your card Maria, from the lovely Spellbinder frame die to the lovely Carol Singer die cuts, the addition of that Festive Musical notes die cut brings the whole theme together. 

A beautiful Christmas card in lovely colours Maria, thank you so much for taking part in this week's challenge my lovely XXX

Sonia

Two beautiful Christmas cards from Sonia for this weeks Challenge, the first card features an adorable little dog, I love how 'round' he is and his tiny little arms and legs really make me smile.

Sonia's second card is just stunning, I love the die that you have used with the dangling heart and snowflakes, that soft blue background works perfectly with your design too.

Sonia's Description:

''Here are my challenge cards for this week too.

The first one uses a LOTV image. I think these are perfect for quick Christmas cards

(I always end up rushing at the last minute to make Christmas cards, so these are my go to for quick and easy cards!) The papers are from the ‘Scandinavian’ collection from Studio Light. I die cut the snowflakes from glitter card and the is sentiment from my stash.

Now I’m not sure if I like the second card, but thought I’d share it anyway. It’s based on a card I saw on Pinterest, but didn’t come out as I planned. I inked part of the card with distress ink. The glittered ‘snowflake love pendant’ is from Memory Box. I added the strips of glitter card and patterned paper along the top, as well as the stamped snowflakes all from my stash. Sentiments also from stash.

Thank you so much Sonia for taking part in this weeks challenge, your cards are amazing XXX
