Our Christmas Challenge cards Week one

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies,  

As you are reading this we will be up preparing to set off for Newbury, for the Crafterama show, I have my list, it actually only has about 3 things on it, however I'm sure I will be tempted by other things!  

What are you all up to today?  

Lets have a look at your lovely Christmas cards made for Our Maria's challenge....

Your Challenge Cards 

Maria

Maria has used some cute cardboard die cuts to embellish her first cards, that background paper is really pretty too.  

The heart card would be perfect for a Loved one's Christmas card, the offset stacked sentiment looks great too.

Thanks so much Maria for your lovely Christmas cards XXX

Janet

Janet's Description:

My first card this week is made using STAMPERIA papers. These are from their WINTER  series.

My second is made using my favourite LABLANCE. These papers are from their Christmas two years ago and are some I had left over.

Janet your  Stamperia card is exquisitely beautiful,  the detail is so beautiful,  it looks so dimensional too, the Colour is pretty too.

Those cute vintage children are super cute too, you can see by looking in the background that these are LaBlanche papers, so much incredible detail, you need very little embellishments on these papers, I love that you have left the paper to do most of the work.

Thank you so much for two lovely cards XXX 

Lilian 

Lilian's Description:

Hello, here is my card for this week, stamping up tree stamps.

Lovely Christmas card Lilian,  I love the background, stamping the large tree in green and adding the the gems for baubles was a great idea,  also using the 'Lovely as a Tree' stamp to create a forest around the large tree looks so effective.  I love the addition of the stars and the sentiment, adding the gold really adds brightness.                       Thank you so much for taking part XXX

Karen 

Karen's Description:

Here’s a card for this week

It’s a Sue W die I cut from black gloss card which I have mounted on some pale blue card and started to paper piece It started to get a bit wasteful cutting it so many times (plus I was losing pieces) So part of it is coloured in with paint pens It works!

The paint pens certainly do work !! I have done a paper pieced card before but it was way too much work to do again,  I kept losing bits and having to re cut more out!! 

I have to say the paint pens are very bright and vibrant, perfect for your Christmas card,  can I ask what make your Paint pens are??  

Thank you so much Karen for making time to take part in the Challenge XXX 

Sonia

Sonia's Description:

Card 1:  I used Sue Wilson embossing folder, snowflake die, poinsettia and tag dies. The sentiment is from a Woodware stamp set.

Card 2:  I used a LOTV image behind a circle aperture. The Merry Christmas circle is from My Favourite Things and the snowflakes from Memory Box.

Two beautiful cards Sonia, I love both of them, your Sue Wilson card is very traditional, I realky love that sentiment too.

Your LOTV card is just so cute, the background is so pretty,  the image is so adorable, the snowflakes are the perfect embellishment.  

Thank you so much for sharing your cards with us XXX
