Simple Christmas card





Good Friday Morning Ladies, 

Here we are at the end of the last week of November,  so we have get those last Christmas cards done and ready to send.   Are you Ladies all organised with you Christmas shopping etc,  we most definitely are not, mind you it doesn't help that my lot have given no ideas, Sophie and Lucy has used all the giid ideas on each other. I'm sure it will all come together though. 

Talking of Gift giving I saw a warning about a new scam on Gift Cards, thieving swines are going into shops and photographing the back of gift cards and then going home and waiting for someone to pick up the card and take it to the till to add money to it, the thieves then keep checking the balance on the card and as soon as the money has been added the they spend it, so when the actual intended recipient of the card opens it on Christmas day and checks the balance it's at Zero !!!   Stores have tried adding tamper strips but they aren't that secure either, so please be careful Ladies. 

Today's card is a simplified version of yesterday's card, I stamped the pine branch and pine cone onto very vanilla card, then added the sentiment,  I added the thick twine with a little metal pine cone charm to finish. 

I hope that you all have a lovely day, 

Love and hugs to all,

Sandra xxx

  1. Hi everyone
    A lovely card today, as was yesterday’s 😍
    Thank you all for your kind wishes the other day 🥰
    I’m off work today and hoping to get the majority of my Christmas shopping done! Wish me luck. I have a few bits already - mainly for Teddy ☺️ Like you said Sandra, I’m sure it will all come together in the end!
    I’m also hoping to do some more crafting over the next few days. I’m off work until next Thursday, although I do have to go in on Monday for a first aid refresher course. Fingers crossed they don’t ask me to do any overtime on my other days off!
    Hope you all have a good day
    Sending hugs to you all xx

  2. A beautiful card I love CAS cards
    I am nowhere near organised and have not bought any presents yet Waiting on daughters to say what to get the boys I did order the turkey pork and Christmas pudding from M&S yesterday afternoon to be collected on 23rd Boy! I had no idea turkeys were that expensive!
    Been into town and back on a wasted journey Was supposed to have a diabetic foot check with the nurse and was cancelled because she is unwell

  3. Evening, everyone, sorry I forgot to come in yesterday.

    It’s been an awful day fog, rain, dark and dismal.
    Been ironing most of the day, can only do a short bit at a time. I have a bad habit of leaving it till R needs his shirts.

    Lovely card today, really Christmasy. I just don’t seem to be able to do clean and simple cards. I’m more the mixed media and grunge style.
    Hoping to do some crafting with my jelly plates tomorrow, I have two but I’ve hardly used them, so it’s backgrounds for tomorrow.
    Hugs to all, Lilian

  4. Hi Sandra and all looking in. A lovely card. The colours you have used as very true to life and I also love the twine and pine cone embellishment. Stampin up do make some really beautiful stamps don’t they. It was so good to sit, catch up and craft with you today my lovely. I hope you have a better night tonight 🤞🏼 xx
    I’m very tired so hope to nod off very quickly!
    Take care. Love Sue xx
