Joy, Hope and Wonder

One final Christmas card, before I start on the other cards I need to make.  This time it's a stepper card for a Christmas card swap which will be going to someone who loves cats.

The image is a one from Little Claire's Designs, stamped with Memento 'Tuxedo Black' and coloured with Promarkers.  I've added Glossy Accents to the bauble and die cut the image with a Memory Box 'Stitched Rectange Layers' die.  I made the card base with a Presscut 'Centre Stepper Card' die.   The patterned paper is from an old paper pad I bought in a closing down sale several years ago.  A computer generated sentiment and two red and silver Card Candi finished off my card.

Snowman Stepper Card

Another Christmas card to share today.
 

The image is an old Anita's wood mounted stamp.  I love using this stamp for football fans at Christmas, as it's so easy to dress the snowman in football colours.  I made four of this stepper design today, all in blue and white.  The image is stamped with Memento 'Tuxedo Black' and coloured with Promarkers.  The blue card is pearlised and has a lovely sheen. I finished off my card with some punched snowflakes and a Christmas sentiment.  I missed a lot of Beccy's earlier letter prompts, so I'm backtracking and it's B for Berries, C for Carrot, H for Hat and Holly, M for Mittens. 😉

Stitched Christmas Tree

A second post today to join in with a few challenges.  Please scroll down to see my earlier post.

I made a dozen of these cross stitch tags earlier in the year and have finally got round to making them into cards. 

I started with a kraft card blank and added a layer of white card, embossed with a Crafter's Companion 'Snowflakes' e/f.  The tag is MFT 'Cross-Stitch Tag' die and I used crochet cotton for the tree.  The sentiment is a gold peel off.  I added some red and gold twine at the top of the tag.

I reversed the colours at the top of the tag on half the cards.

Singing Snowmen

Another Christmas card to share today.

The image is a pre-coloured digi stamp from the 'Snowman Digital Stamps' set from Beccy's Place and the sentiment is computer generated.   Orange and green card was used for matting and layering.  I used a Couture Creation 'Music of the Heart' e/f for the embossed panel down the side.  MFT 'Musical Notes' die cuts finished off my card.
