Good morning to you all and thinks for your visit. Time again for another offering for the Christmas Card Club. This time it is Valery's turn to host and she wants to see red berries. I have actually made two cards this time. I am determined to keep ahead this year. Last year I started out very well but then somehow managed to find myself lagging behind. Well it's not going to happen this year!
Card 1
This is an A6 card and uses an image from my Greeting Card Factory programme and re-sized to fit the card. I used Sue Wilson's Noble Pierced Rectangles to die cut the image and the mat. All it needed then was the sentiment stamping at the top.
Card 2
Ths time my card is very tiny - only 4" square. I have never made small cards before but I do receive quite a lot of small Christmas cards so I thought I would give it a try. It actually looks pretty good so there might be more coming up! The image is from the same source as before because I have already used the images I have that show berries on previous cards and I wanted to show something different. This time I computer generated the sentiment before printing it off and then used Sue Wilson's Noble Squares to die cut. So two very simple festive cards.
As usual this card is not due until tomorrow but I have another DT card to post then and I prefer not to post twice on the same day.
Well take care and enjoy your weekend. I hope you are doing something fun and interesting.

You are forging ahead this year making two Christmas cards per theme Christine, well done, you will have stacks of cards by the big day! I love these traditional images and your super cute and dinky 4" square card looks great.
ReplyDeleteP.S. no snow but plenty of rain here.

Two cards - oh no!! You are really on a roll!! I cannot believe how similar our cards are. I love Chickadees - love them!! And you know the saying - the best things come in small packages. I can't wait to hear what you say about my card - you might laugh!!
