BLACK & WHITE CHRISTMAS VERSE CARD
Simples again from me this week! It's "Black & White" theme over at CHNC this week so I chose this lovely stamp to work with. I think the words are beautiful. I might even use this as my "batch" card this year.
I've stamped the verse onto white card and layered it on a piece of gold mirri card, then attached it onto a base made from white "Merry Christmas" embossed card. Keeping the embellishment simple, I've added a black fluorish, and a white and gold layered poinsettia, which I cut on my Cricut. Added a little bit of Christmas sparkle with some gold Stickles! SIMPLES!
So this is my entry in Crafty HazelNuts Christmas challenge "black and white, plus one other colour".

SNOWY DAYS CHRISTMAS CARD
I'm chuffed to bits with myself for making this one! I had a bit of a clearout in the old craft room recently, and found these lovely stickers by Penny Black called "Snowy Day". I love this big cuddly snowman. But what to do with him?! I decided to have a go with some acetate for a change. The base card is made from a piece of dotty emboosed blue card, onto which I've matted and layered Mr Snowman. I then stuck a piece of acetate to the back of the card and folded it over to cover the front. Onto this, I've stuck some snowflake stickers , and the "Snowy Days" wording. I love the lifted effect the acetate gives.

CUTE KITTY CAROL SINGING CHRISTMAS CARD
I feel I've been negleting my blog! But we've had lots of birthdays and anniversaries in the last few weeks, I've just not had the time; been too busy having fun!
Anyway, I've managed to make this card in memory of our beloved "Onion", our cat that past away a few weeks ago. The stamp is from Digistamp Boutique, and I've coloured her in with my Promarkers. I've layered up some papers (can't remember where they are from....sorry!) onto some beige card, and added a strip of corrugated card, which I pinched from a craft kit I bought for my little girl. The sentiment stamp is an oldie but goodie I found whilst having a clearout in my craft room. Finished off with some white seam binding and some snowflakes.
I'm entering this in CHNC challenge "Carol Singing".
