Christmas Candle

Happily on a roll with my Christmas cards. My card today is for the Merry Monday #165 challenge - Candles and Flowers, and also for Winter Wonderland challenge - More than One Fold.
I've made a gate fold card base and covered each side with some Christmas DP. I stamped the candle image and coloured it with Twinkling H2Os; so it has a lovely sheen. Then I found another stamp which included these Poinsettia flowers which I also coloured and fussy cut and foam tape mounted them to the panel. This I attached to a blue layer and centered it over the middle opening and adhered one side.  Thanks for taking a peek

More Than One Fold

Snowman Giftcard Holder

My final project this afternoon is to make something that is not a card for the Winter Wonderland June challenge...and at Christmas Cards All Year the theme is Snowmen.....
So I've made a Snowman Giftcard Holder....I  totally CASEd Lisa's gorgeous Snowman.  I think it's a fun project and did enjoy making him - even if I have white circles of every size now.  I am also going to post to Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra - Anything Goes.  Thanks for taking a peek

Anything but a card!

The theme this month is snowmen

CHNC challenge extra for June 2015

 

Jingle Bells Bear

'A is for Anything Christmas'

TEDDY BEARS

This little bear is a wood mounted stamp I've had for a very long time, he hasn't had much use so the challenge at Winter Wonderland - Teddy Bears was just what I needed. I'm also playing along with ABC Christmas challenge -'A' and Christmas Cards All Year Round - also Anything Goes. I really like the colours I've used and happy with my card....thanks for taking a peek  Robyn

Merry Christmas Bow

How Charming

  Another Christmas card for my stash using two blog challenges.  Merry Monday#73 - to include Red, Green and Kraft with either ribbon, twine or burlap. And at Winter Wonderland this week - to include a Charm....I don't have too many Christmas charms but found this little gold bell. Friend Vikki sent me the die cut holly branch so I inked and embossed it to give it a shine and I think just finished off the card.  Thanks for taking a peek

Christmas, Winter Wonderland

  

So as per usual I'm spending my Saturday afternoon skyping with cardmarker friend Vikki...and sadly this will be my last Saturday for a few weeks as next week will be frantic last minute preparations for our 6 week holiday...we are at present packing up house to leave Karratha and by 10th of August will be living for a short time in Perth, Western Australia. Here is my card for the Winter Wonderland challenge for this week - Candy Canes...well you've go to look carefully to see my santa with his canes but I did have fun putting together this easel card and adding to my Christmas card pile of 55cards.

 Hope you've all had a wonderful weekend...mine is extending into Monday as friend Vikki has a public holiday and I don't start work till 12:30 so we have some skyping time this morning to make Christmas cards.  Today I've used sketch #38 from Freshly Made Sketches and the 'Photo Inspiration" from Winter Wonderland as inspiration for my card.  Thanks for taking a peek

Christmas, 52 (Christmas) card throwdown, Wintew Wonderland, Christmas card challenge

  

Lucky me - this Monday we have a public holiday in Western Australia so after spending my morning cleaning the caravan and beginning with the packing I've taken so me time this afternoon to make another card for my Christmas pile. Here I've used the sketch Christmas card challenge - week 27 , and use a sentiment only on the card for the challenge at 52 (Christmas) card throwdown - June sketch 6,  also it fits with the Holly challenge at the Winter Wonderland. The holly background paper is just tissue Christmas wrap -scrunched a little and glued to white card. Thanks for taking a peek

Christmas, MojoMonday, Winter wonderland

 

Today I would have like to make a few more cards but the house packing is much more important and so today I started on my craft stuff.....I have to decide what to pack to go home and what small amount I can fit into the caravan....it's so hard, I can't take all my stamps or cardstock or embellishments....oh decisions, decisions.  Any I did take some time this afternoon to make another Christmas card using this weeks MojoMonday layout 243 I like the soft colours and bright red splash and I used a holly stamp for my image so I can post it on Winter Wonderland this week with the theme -HOLLY.
