Well time is marching on and I still have lots of Christmas cards to make so I decided to try some very quick ones.
My Card
Click on image to enlarge picture
This is a 5 x 7 inch Kraft card made from Papermania card stock. I used a piece of LOTV Krafty Christmas paper pad and a piece from "Handmade Holiday " by Simple Stories with some sticky ribbon to cover the join. I then just added a Marianne Creatables Swedish snowflake, and Memory Box Frosty Border, both of which were sitting in my die cuts drawer. The tree die cuts have been hanging around for about 9 or 10 years. I bought them from Lakeland so that my mum could make some simple Christmas cards at the time. A few pearls from Hobby House finished it off.
That is one extremely quick card, so there will definitely more to come, in a similar vein. I had never used kraft card until earlier this year when one of the challenges in our little Christmas Card Club was to use kraft card. I really struggled with it then, but in fact now I quite like it, so thanks to Clare for pushing me in this direction!
Hope this finds everybody well. Keep warm if it is cold where you are.

Hi Christine
Super card. Never used kraft card but this gem has tempted me to try it.
Lovely and sunny here at the minute, have even got washing on the line (probably for the last time this year unless we have a sudden heatwave lol)
Have a great day.

Morning Christine,
This is a lovely card, loving the papers and I like the use of the calender on the front too.Papers all work so well together, beautiful.
Its been cold here last couple of days but we have had sunshine with it so that's a bonus, never had the storm in this part of Essex that they predicted so that's an even bigger bonus lol! Just cleared all the condensation from my windows before it drips everywhere lol! Have a good day.
Love & Hugs

Hi Christine,
Lovely card, I do like traditional colours for Christmas, but I have used kraft card as well and I'm pleased with the results. We have lovely sun today but it's cold and like Ang I too have washing on the line.

Gorgeous Christmas card Christine, I love kraft although don't use it as often as I should. I remember those trees - had them in green with gold foiling on them too x
Wonderful card Christine, such a great design, I love the papers and fabulous detailing. I use Kraft card quite a lot, I find it works well with most colours schemes.

Beautiful Christmas card Christine....Love the kraft card & calendar ...Gorgeous die-cuts too.... Hugs May x x x
Hi Christine - this is lovely, and it looks as if a lot of work has gone into a 'quick' card. I love the kraft look and the spot of red is so right - especially the bling.
Hope you are both well.
Hugs to you Sue Pxxx
Love it Christine, awesome with the calendar...xx
Wow Christine I had to go back and read what you said to see if I'd really read the word 'quick'! This is a great card. I love the calendar tab on it. Just fab!
Love Lea x
