Hello sweet visitors and welcome to my blog. Hope you are all having a fantastic day.

I'm here to share another of my Christmas cards with you. I am trying to get as many done as I can before the rush begins in November and although I haven't done as many as I wanted, I do have more than at this time last year and that's a good thing!
Used scraps again for this card. I know the base paper is from Kaisercraft but have no idea where the rest came from.
The white bloom is available at Megs Garden but the rest of the cluster is from my stash.
Finally using up some of the gold stickers I've had in my stash for ages. I do like that little touch of gold for Christmas ..
.. and I added a few seed beads as well.
The inside, decorated in my usual style .. the small chippy bauble is from Scrapmatts.
Popped some dp on the back as well, just to cover the ribbon.
I actually should have had about 16 Christmas cards by now but I've actually only completed 8. Rather sad, huh?? Still, as I said at the beginning of this post, I have more now than I did at this time last year .. is good!! LOL!!
Just a little side note .. I entered my previous Christmas card (Christmas in Ausust #2) into the challenge at Christmas Card Challenges .. and I WON!! Just want to say a big thank you to all the lovely people over there for choosing my card .. I am thrilled to bits!! Thank you all so very much.
And thank you, lovely people for visiting my blog and taking a look at my little creations.
Hope you all enjoy the rest of your day.
Take care and God Bless.

ReplyDeleteWell that's a lot more than I have done Margy. All beautiful with your special touches inside the card as well. Thanks for the inspiration and the "hurry up!!"
ReplyDeleteI actually, physically DUCKED and CRINGED when I saw your post come up on Bloglovin'!!!! Now I'm HIDING....I STILL haven't done a Chrissy Card. This is getting seriously frightening for me, now!!!! LOL! I'll be lucky to get one done for you for our swap at this rate [rolls eyes]. LOVE how you've stash busted here. My fave bits are the gold, those seed beads and those spiral thingies. [technical term, LOL!!!]...They look amazing! Right. I need to actually WRITE A LIST so I START those darned cards. Mind you, I DID do some sparkling green stars for bg paper...so I am thinking of it.... winks!!!

Stunning. I just love your Christmas cards and I am about to start all of mine so I really appreciate the inspiration. What are the little curly bits that you used. I see some in there that are white and brown? They just make the card. Gorgeous.
