Challenge 4 for Christmas Card Club

Good morning. Well here we already at our fourth Christmas make for our little friendly group of crafters who like to get ahead with our Christmas makes.  We take turns to choose the theme and it was my turn this time and I asked that a Christmas Carol or Christmas song be used in our cards.

If you are looking for my IAAS card please click HERE

 Card #1


Card # 2 

 

My first card features a song and the second one a carol.  Both cards made from Our Daily Bread Designs  before the company name changed to Divinity Designs. The first one was from one of the papers and the second one is Christmas Tree Collage stamp together with one of the papers to mat. Both  flat cards for posting.  I added gold glitter and glossy accents to the second card and gold pearls to the first.

I have used the collage stamp  previously but on gold and green card and it looks so different on a kraft card base.

I have decided that the majority of my cards will be flat and only add lots of embellishment etc to the ones  being hand delivered or close family and dear friends.

I do hope you are not being affected too badly by the storm. Our property is very high so flooding is not a problem but wind certainly is. Fingers crossed for no trees down this weekend.  I don't like all this heavy rain but it certainly fills our wells and those who have followed me for a while know that we are so isolated that we are not on mains water and rely on two wells. Not good in very hot dry summers but you have to take the rough with the smooth - or should that be the wet with the dry?... lol
 
Well take care and keep dry, warm and safe.

    Two lovely cards for the theme that you set. I have used some music paper from a christmas pad of paper but have no idea what the tune is.
    Very wet and windy here. We are in a dip so get a lot of water. Hugs Mrs A.

    Hi Christine, I love the cards you've made for your theme. I do like that Christmas Collage stamp, it's beautiful.I too tend to make flat, or flat-ish cards for posting, and save the bulky embellishments for those being hand delivered!So sorry I'm running late this week, family stuff got in the way! Hugs, Shaz X
