The cards for last Challenge of the year

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies, 

I hope that you are all enjoying a lovely relaxed Sunday,  this time next week we will all be busy with the Christmas Lunch preparations and wrapping the last of the gifts, do you all have family traditions that you take part in on Christmas eve?  We always had a 'picky tea'  then bathed all 4 children, got them in their new Christmas pj's,  these Christmas Eve Box things weren't a thing back then, (another way to squeeze more money out of you In my opinion ), the children then placed their stockings where they wanted Santa to leave their presents, they then put Mince pie and Milk for Santa, carrots outdide for Rudolph and hung Santa's Special 'Magic' Key on front door, the girls would then go to bed and Matt & Becca would watch Santa doing his Deliveries on Norad on the Computer. The laughs we have had trying to silently move all the Christmas gifts from where they were hidden upstairs down to the lounge without waking a child !! 

Sophie & Lucy have started their own tradition, it started about 5 years ago, on Christmas Eve they both take the day off work, the will go out for lunch, they open all the gifts they have bought each other, they have a list of Categories that they both buy from, full outfit, something funny, something to do, something to eat/drink,  toiletries, something useful and surprises, are some of the Categories.  They don't see their other halves either, 'Twismas' is a day totally dedicated to each other.  I hope they keep it going for many years to come. 

Your Embossed Cards 

Lilian 

Lilian's Description:

Card 1:  Hi here is my card for this week, old embossing folder, stamp is Honey Doo,  that doesn’t sound right, can’t remember the correct name. Same pens as usual and stickles to colour.

Card 2:  here is my card for this week, embossing top & bottom.  The Green glitter is Stickles Patina colour.

Lilian I loved both cards that you created for this Challenge,  your colouring is both beautiful and vibrant, the cards have similar stamp but the lovely vintage style looks so different from the crisp white embossed base card of this weeks card.  The extra little gens finish the card perfectly.  Thank you so much for taking part in this last challenge,  I know its a busy time of year XXX

Karen's Description:

Card 1: Here’s a new baby card I have made for my great niece

It’s a bargain bucket EF with background etc created on Serif and SueW elephant Sizzix hearts Aall and Create sentiment.

Cards 2  & 3:  Two cards using embossing folder

No idea of either brand! 

Merry Christmas embossed onto gold mirri card with Sue W poinsettia and JL foliage - it’s a bit too “in yer face” for me 

Second one is embossed on to white and matted onto a piece of Clarity card and a Tim Holtz tree

That baby card is so cute, I love the little footprint embossing folder, I don't think I've seen that one before, perfect for Baby cards.  

Thank you so much for taking part in this last Challenge, you have a lot of last-minute craft projects to finish so I really appreciate your time XXX

I’ve used Spellbinders 3D ‘snowflake’ embossing folder, The Stamp Market snowflakes die and sentiments.

Two gorgeous Christmas cards, I love that Stamp Market Snowflake die, its really different!  It also works perfectly with the Spellbinders embossing folder.  Thank you so much for taking part on the last challenge of the year. XXX
