Yep, you guessed it! More Christmas cards.....

Hi everyone! I hope you had a nice weekend. I'm under the weather with a bladder infection and hubbie is in bed with flu- what a healthy pair we are! So am feeling as miserable as the weather here in Essex so I thought I might as well get on with the Christmas card making. I started way too late this year so I feel like I'm rushing them a bit which I really hate doing! So this first card is for a few challenges and is based around a cute Penny Black snowman. The paper is last year's DCWV Christmas pad and the top layer has the words to "Jingle Bells" on which is perfect for this week's Allsorts Challenge which is a Christmas carol or song. I even found a rub on which said "Jingle Bells" too! I added a punched strip, some raspberry ribbon, a punched snowflake and blue hot fix crystals.

I'm entering this card for the following challenges:

Penny Black- Winter Wonderland

Friday Sketchers- sketch!

Allsorts- Christmas songs

Crafty stash used: Stamp (Penny Black); Copics; Papers (DCWV); Assorted cardstock; Punches (Martha Stewart & Woodware); Ribbon (Poppicrafts); Hot fix crystals (Bead Co.; Rub on (K & Co)
This next card is for the Crazy for Challenges sketch which really suited a quick and easy bit of cardmaking. The image is Stampendous coloured with copics, I wanted to use really bright colours on this card to reflect the bright paper which I think was DCWV again. I made use of my snowflake punch again which is new for this season and which I've used on just about every card I've made. The little white snowflake is a gorgeous snowflake embellie which my lovely friend Fi bought me- you'll be seeing more of these!! (Thanx so much, Fi! x)

Crafty stash used: Image (Stampendous); Copics; Paper (DCWV?); Assorted cardstock; Punch (Woodware); Snowflake embellie (The Works); Sentiment (Lili of the Valley)
Finally here are a few more cards I made. The images may be Hero Arts I'm not sure. I coloured them all with copics- just added highlights which you can't really see that well in this photo. The paper is by Artic Frog. More use of my punch and snowflake embellies!!!

Crafty stash used: Sentiment stamp (See D's) Images (Hero Arts??); Copics; Paper (Artic Frog); Assorted cardstock; Punch (Woodware); Snowflake embellie (The Works); Ribbon (Recycled)
