Your Cards for Sonia's Christmas Challenge

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies, 

I am really looking forward to today, it feels like I haven't been to a Craft Show in ages, it also feels like we haven't had a meet up in ages too, we must discuss a Watford meet up while we sit and eat lunch too.  

We had a busy day in the garden yesterday, we got a lot of pruning back done,  weeding etc, so much to do in Autumn. 

Let's have a look at your Christmas Challenge cards,  suggested by Sonia. ..

Sonia's Christmas Card Challenge 

Sonia

Sonia's Description:

I’ve used Chloe’s star background die on both, cut in half, and backed with glitter card. The silver card uses one of the Christmas Roses from Chloe’s, and the gold card uses Spellbinders reindeer. The rectangle frame is from a Sue Wilson set. The sentiment and die are also Chloe’s.

Two amazing Christmas cards Sonia, I really love that Star background die,  it's so effective and works perfectly with the Christmas Rose and our favourite Reindeer die! 

Thank you so much for 2 amazing cards and for suggesting this weeks challenge XXX

Karen

Karen's Description:

I’ve been playing with the gnome dies from Karen Burniston.

Card 1: I used a Serif background and some glitter 

Card 2:  I used Serif background and some artificial snow

Card 3:  I used Serif background and a wobbler

Card 4:  Serif background I printed off a street lamp and scanned it into ScanNCut  

The noses are their mouths The moustache their hymn book and the beard and plaits are their hair.

Absolutely amazing cards Karen, I love these gnome dies, they are so just adorable, I am blown away by the last card, you would never believe that those Carol Singers are made using the Gnome dies, so clever and means you get more use out of your dies!

Maria your Diorama cards are brilliant,  there is so much detail included,  I love the stars held in place with the little pegs on the first card, I love the effect of looking in through a window,  the layers of detail included is amazing too.  Thank you so much for taking part in this weeks challenge my lovely XXX

Janet

Janet's Description:

All the cards have been made using Seasonal Kits (over two years past) by LABLANCHE.

The mirror/glitter card is TONIC card and the sentiments etc are from my stash.

I just have to do the finishing touches like sentiments where needed and stamp the inside of the children's card.

Wow Janet, what an amazing collection of cards, I'm so pleased the weather cooled down enough foe you to craft, it sounds like you made a great start to your Christmas cards for this year.  As always with LABLANCHE kits the attention to detail is incredible, those last two cards are just so beautiful,  definitely in the extra special category!!

Lilian's Description:

 

Here is my card for this weeks challenge. I used Stamperia papers, ( a winter’s tale ) ink back ground with faded jeans oxide ink, stamped the holly over with a small holly from Lavinia stamps , embossed in white.

Such a beautiful card Lilian,  your handmade background works so beautifully with that gorgeous Stamperia paper you have used, it's such a triumph when you find colours that match your papers so nicely,  this is a great way to make your papers go further too!
