I am really happy to be taking part in this Blog Hop today.
This is a group of Stampin' Up Demonstrators not only giving
inspiration for Christmas but in my
case, getting me prepared early. Christmas cards are a huge thing for me,
living in Australia but with most of my family living in the UK, I need a lot
of cards.
I feel like I have cheated a bit with this card, it’s a very
simple card but it's wasn't meant to be a card, that sounds a bit odd I know
but I am in another group that starts each January, issues challenges each month using different
themes all relate to Christmas, so we get a head start on our Christmas cards,
great idea.
Last month the challenge was to make gift tags minimum 10.
As we don't have any children, Graham & I decided last
year that we wouldn't be buying any Christmas presents (for anyone except our
dog Max), we joined a group of people that sponsored farmers who have been
doing it exceptionally tough through the severe drought Australia had been
experiencing We told our friends (pleased to say some of them did the same
thing). We will be doing that again this year so 2020 has been very cruel, though
many of the drought areas have had great rain, 2020 has brought very bad
bushfires, severe flooding then to top things off Covid 19.
I did the challenge and made my 10 gift cards and now have
turned them into 10 Christmas cards.
As you can see they are very simple.
I added a 2 inch strip of Real red cardstock that I embossed
using the Wrapped in Texture Embossing Folder, to a Mossy Meadow card base.
Using the Pine Tree Punch punched a piece of Gold Foil which
I also embossing with the Wrapped in
Texture Embossing Folder, I attached it to the Nested label die cuts, popped
that up on dimensionals, added a sentiment, a bow and voila. Hope you like it.
