Christmas Card Time!!

By
Does that sound scary? - I'll tell what isn't scary though and that is since starting the 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown I have a HUGE stack of Christmas cards that grows every week therefore no panic in December making loads of cards at the last minute!
Would you like to see what I have made this week? Mynnette who is my partner in this venture has designed this fab sketch for us to follow

Here are my cards


My first card follows the sketch as it is and is quite CAS. My green card stock is from Stampin' Up - Garden Green and I have used a sticker from the Simply Scrappin' Christmas Wishes set


For this card I have flipped and rotated the image and used a Papermania stamp along with some SU Stampin' Write markers. I have used double sided tape and red glitter to do the lines on the right hand side.

Hope you have a great weekend - see you soon - Jacqueline xx

    I love these challenges Jacqueline - and as I said to Mynnette, I've never felt remotely tempted to make Christmas cards at this time of year until you and she came along with this blog! Beautiful cards and I agree with the smug feeling of having a stash of Christmas cards already! Vicky x

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
