Hello, hello! I'm panicking a bit as I'm getting seriously behind on my Christmas cards and I've just had some orders for some of my handbag charms for Christmas presents so I've made some fairly simple cards this week and only one of them is for some challenges as it cuts down on time a bit!!
So the card above is being entered for the following challenges:
Winter Wonderland- St Nicholas
Copic Colour Challenge- Red, green, yellow
The Secret Crafter- 4 Seasons
I don't know where the image is from but I coloured it with copics and then have triple mounted sandwiching between a nestied layer. The papers are all from a DCWV stack I bought last year. The little tag was free with a magazine a few years ago and I stuck it on card, cut round it, made a hole in it and threaded ribbon through.
Crafty stash used: Image (?); Copics; Paper (DCWV); Assorted cardstock; Tag (freebie); Ribbon (Lakeland); Nesties
I then made a few other quickish cards. This one again is using a recycled embellishment from last year's Christmas cards. I mounted the embellishment on gold card and used papers from a Papermania set and then just mounted the whole lot on goldish card and added 3 purple gems. Very quick but I think the colours make it look quite opulent!
Crafty stash used: Embellishment (recycled); Papers (Papermania); Assorted cardstock; Gems (Lakeland)
These last 2 designs I kinda cribbed from my Christmas sketch book which I got last week and is totally fab! The tall card behind I basically just used up old scraps of paper, embossed a scrap of card and created a little embellie using nesties, my snowflake punch and a pink hot fix crystal.
The square card was made using Doodlebug papers, again I created an embellie using nesties and a snowflake punch but this time I also added die cut letters. I really wanted to go for unusual colours- hope you like the look!
Crafty stash used: Papers (Doodlebug; DCWV); Assorted cardstock; Nesties; Punch (Woodware); Hot fix crystals; Ribbon (Lakeland & recycled); Lettering (Sizzix); Snowflake embossing folder (Cuttlebug)

Hi Steph
Don't panic - you look like you are doing fine. Lots of lovely creations here.
I think we are nearly all in the same boat with regards trying to do too much. I think the answer is to try not to need any sleep LOL!!! (or make a note to start my Christmas cards around Easter time!!).
Sounds like your handbag charms are doing well too so that's good news.
Take care
Love Jules xx
