Christmas Cards

Hello.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas! I'm going to share all the Christmas cards I didn't post in time, before it gets too far past Christmas. I'm not going to write a lot in this post as there are quite a few pictures. There is just a quick list under each card to say what was used.

CYDI? Challenge #25 - Not a Creature was Stirring

Hello.

The new Can You Digi It? challenge is titled Not a Creature was Stirring. The challenge is to create a holiday card using an animal image. My card uses Gift Opening Dog by KiniArt.

My Grandma needed a card to send to my Uncle's girlfriend, Caroline. The dog in the image is very similar to Caroline's dog Clara, so I just had to use this image for her card.

The paper comes from a special edition magazine called Just Great Papers - Christmas Cards. There is a small strip of the paper on the inside of the card too. The sentiment comes from a Popcorn the Bear set which was a magazine freebie.

Snow scene

Hello.

This card is going to the part of my family who don't come to my Grandma's for Christmas, I am getting all the family who do come to my Grandma's to sign it for them. It uses the beautiful 'On a Winter's Day' image by Delicious Doodles. I left the image as it is when printed because it really doesn't need anything adding to it. I framed it with some stickles, then backed it on plain white card. For the next layer I stamped a snowflake image by HOTP in silver onto white card. Then it all went on an 8x8 card base. The sentiment comes from the Seasons Greetings set by Papermania. 

Vintage bear

Hello.

I haven't blogged for a while as I haven't really made anything. When I have had time for crafting I just haven't felt like making anything. But today I got to spend most of the day at my craft desk and I've had some Christmas music playing so I've been working on my Christmas cards.

I bought some 8x8 cards last month to make Christmas cards for mine and James' families and this is the first one I've used. I kept this one fairly simple just three squares of paper, a stamp, some brads and some faux stitching. That lovely image was from a magazine freebie set by Adam Pescott. The holly paper is from the Christmas Village 6x6 pad by First Edition Papers, and the red paper is from Papermania's Vintage Christmas 8x8 pad. I'll decide who's getting which card when I have them all ready.

Skelekinz Thank You

Hello.

I haven't really felt like creating much this week, so I'm sharing a card which I didn't share when I made it, just so my blog doesn't get lonely. This card was made for James' friend who has helped him out with driving a few places since he can't drive himself at the moment.
