First Christmas card for 2015!

Hello again,

I don't usually post 2 cards in one day but I was just about to schedule this post for tomorrow when I realised that Merry Monday Christmas Challenge closes today!

So here I am again with my first Christmas card for 2015

I have been wanting to enter the new One Layer Christmas Card Challenge all week but wasn't getting any new ideas. So yesterday browsed some other Xmas card challenges and saw this photo at Merry Monday-snowflakes

I used the sketch at CAS(E) this sketch using masking to create the centre panel and 3 different Uniko stamp sets (Big and Bold-SNOW, Background builder-Christmas and Stunning snowflakes).

I am also going to enter this into the 'new beginnings', one layer challenge at Less is More-this is the beginning of my Xmas card makes for 2015!

    

TIME OUT Challenges #18

Are you ready to take some TIME OUT with me and do some crafting? I hope so because at TIME OUT Challenges we have a fabulous Christmas themed photo for you. Hopefully it will inspire you to get some of those Holiday cards made...or perhaps it will inspire a different kind of card. All are welcome at TIME OUT Challenges

Here it is:

And my take with a stamp you have seen a few times before but with a few little twists:

I really like the natural colours in this photo and my eye was drawn to the wreath hanging on the ladder. I wanted to use this wreath stamp but wasn't sure it would look right in a natural colour but I went ahead and stamped it with SU crumb cake ink on kraft card and loved how it looked. For the rest I have used red and white pens...very complicated!!

Our Guest Designer this week is Toni. I am sure many of you will know her creative and inspiring blog-if you are not, pop over there and I am sure you will come away with a list of new ideas!!

Our wonderful DT have been so creative with their takes on this photo. Check their cards out here, then you know what to do:

Take TIME OUT and get crafting!!
