This car post is not actually due until tomorrow but I also have an OSAAT DT card to post then so I decided to post this one today and I hope my fellow CCC friends won't mind. Fortunately, tomorrow's card was done a few weeks ago otherwise I would have been really up the creek without a paddle!
My Cards
Being so simple I was able to make four cards in less time than it would normally take to even work out what I was going to do ... lol!
My cards are 6" x 4" cut from white card stock. The sentiments are Snowy Sentiments from Pink Petticoat. After adding the sentiments I ran them through the GC with SB Dainty Dots folder. I trimmed them down and then attached them to the base card. The large snowflakes are Marianne Swedish Snowflakes and the smaller ones were made using an XCut punch. Unfortunately, the navy background I took the pictures against make it look as if they are very badly matted onto navy card. Sorry about that - they are definitely just white cards!!
Because they are so simple they are ideal for batch making, so I will probably make some more of these for my Christmas Card Box to boost the numbers. There are also more sentiments to ring the changes too.
I hope this finds you all keeping well and I send some love to those who need it! It's probably going to be a few more weeks before I can get back to regular blogging but I can hopefully start to check out some of your blogs soon.
Christine these are just BEAUTIFUL love the variety of cards.xxThe Journey is the Start

ReplyDeleteHi Christine,

You may say they are quick and simple cards to make but the design is so effective, and looks really lovely.

Hope John gets well soon.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

I like those a lot Christine and I agree with what everyone else has said. They make look simple but they are gorgeous and perfect and oh so classy too. With the post being so expensive now I have got to try to make more like your beauties. It takes me more time to create a simpler or clean and simple time than it does when whacking out my usual style. I really hope John is going to recover quickly and things calm for you both soon. Don't worry about visiting take care of John and of yourself too Karen x
ReplyDeleteHi Christine
ReplyDeleteJust catching up. Hope Hubby is recovering.
I adore the simplicity of these. Less is definitely more!
Hope things settle for you soon.

So glad you chose snowflakes and sentiments for my CCC 'S' challenge - you have certainly done them proud with your four beautiful cards (I'd love to see them too at my CHNC challenge extra for September). x
ReplyDeleteChristine, First, prayers for John (and yourself as well, because I'm sure you must be worn out). Wishes for a speedy convalescence. Your cards are elegant, rather than simple (to my eyes!). Love the embossing and those lovely snowflakes in different colors - and the interrupted embossing in the center, was very effective. TFS & Big Hugs to you both.
ReplyDeleteI can see Spots and Sparkle on your cards too! I like your CAS design. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Hugs xx
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful Christine and the funny thing is before I pressed the enlarge button they look debossed - even the snowflakes looked debossed and I was wondering how you did it!! When I got them back to norm everything went back to looking embossed - how weird is that!! Anyway I love the simplicity of these and, as you say, they would make wonderful batch cards.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you and John Sue Pxxx
Christine, I have been having problems with blogger and my reading list is all to pot plus I try to publish my comment and it just doesn't go so I will keep my fingers crossed and see if it works.. Love your cards, they are simple but stunning, my kind of cards colour wise too. Sorry John has been ill. Hope he is doing better. Hazel xx
