Crumb Cake Christmas Card

By
The very Patricia is hosting this month's challenges at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown and she kicks off with this fab sketch




This is such a lovely sketch - you can really go to town with backing papers and layers or keep it clean and simple - here's what I did with it


Now I don't know if any of you have had the chance to peruse the new catalogue (sneakily placed in my side bar) but you may have noticed the lack of Christmas stamp sets so I'm afraid I've had to resort to a retired set - Come to Bethlehem. The gorgeous sentiment is current though - phew!

Materials - Stampin' Up
Stamps: Come to Bethlehem, Delightful Dozen
Ink: Crumb Cake, Real Red
Card Stock: Whisper White, Real Red, Crumb Cake
(To order any of the above current items or items from the Annual Catalogue please e-mail me on deezinesart@gmail.com - a catalogue pdf can be found in the side bar. Items can be delivered direct to you - just £4.95 p+p any size order. Also see the special offers above in the top tabs - thanks).

Please do pop over and check out the other DT cards and have a lovely weekend - Jacqueline xx

    This is simply gorgeous. I do like red, kraft and white - very classic. I like the square card works perfectly.

    BTW - I like the new look blog!

    Hi Jacqueline, I have yet to use this stamp although I do love it. I really like how you have stamped it on Kraft and red and Kraft is always a winner to me!

    Great colour combination of the crumb cake with red. I thought it odd there were no christmas stamps in the new catalogue but guess there will be a seasonal special mini cat later on. First time I typed this it disappeared so hope you don't get it twice!

    Hi Jacqueline, what a lovely Christmas card, the red and kraft combo is wonderful and that sentiment looks fab underneath the curve of the image!

    Roll on the SU! Autumn/Winter catty eh?!

    Hope you're enjoying the sunny, summery weekend! Ruth x

    Love the classic red, kraft and white color scheme! :) I agree with Ruth - the scripty sentiment goes really well with the curvy baseline of the image. Very nice! :)

    Wow Jacqueline what a fab new look for your blog! I like your Christmas card too in those colours and with that classic image. There are Christmas stamps available from the last AW catalogue of course and there'll be loads of new ones coming up soon! Vicky x

    Love the new look blog! and the card is gorgeous - red, white and kraft is an awesome combination. It's a shame that stamp is retired, it's one of my favourites as it is so versatile and yet very traditional.

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
