I thought I would pop another Christmas card on the blog today then leave Christmas alone for a while. This one is a very simple one (just like me, lol!) so very quick to make, which is just what is needed when there are a lot to make. And I make a lot, believe me!
This is a Mo Manning image, Little Elf Kin, and was very easy to colour - just red, and green basically. Oh and the skin of course. I added glitter to his his hat and vest and that's it. Simple as that. The pretty red organza ribbon, from my stash, has a picot edge which mimics the Spellbinders lacy squares frame. I used Cuttlebug Swiss dots for the background and then added the Marianne snowflakes which I diecut from glitter paper which in fact is not particularly glittery so I won't be using that again! A red gem stone finished them off. I still find Swiss dots is one of my favourites, even though I've had it forever, or so it seems.
Well that's it for today. I hope youall have a great day whatever you are doing.
With love from Christine. xx

Another lovely card Christine, gosh I must make a start on mine, I've been reorganising my ribbon and haven't done any crafting whatsoever, naughty me.
The swiss dots folder is everyone's fave I think because it's so versatile.
Have a lovely weekend.
Cheers,
Elaine

Hi Christine,
I wonder if you are visiting my blog while I'm visiting yours today. Great minds and all that. I cracked it today the blog went out on it's own. LOL. Now to your card it's really lovely. I love everything you have used. Especially the snowflake die. Must try and buy shortly, as I only have the snowflake punch. Have a great crafty day everyone.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

Ji Christine, such a cute little elf and the swiss dots are a favourite of mine too! Love the Christmas colours. A lovely card.
Love Christine H xx
This is so cute Christine. I adore red and white for christmas (even though I am a fan of traditional I am not a fan of tradition red, green and gold). The dots are fabulous as they give the effect of snow falling with the snowflakes emphasising this too.
