Make it Red for the Christmas Card Club

Good morning.  I'm here with my cards for our friendly little Christmas Card Challenge group. As usual I'm a day early. The idea is to make our cards mainly red, so very traditional this time.

Card # 1
 

Recipe
Red base card made from cardstock I bought at the NEC
embossing folder - Falling Snow Sue Wilson
snowflake border - The Works
image - Hunkydory Little Book of Christmas Poems

Card # 2
 

 Recipe
Red card as above
image - Greeting Card Factory
e/f - Snowflake Lattice Sue Wilson
snowflake edge die - unknown
scalloped circle die - Spellbinders
twiggy leaves - Sue Wilson 

Card # 3
 

Recipe
A6 white base card
red card - as above
e/f - Crafts Too 
snowflake die - The Works
 
Three simple but very different cards and all meeting the brief - and building up my stash. We do have the option of going for "Anything Goes" but I like to challenge myself to fulfill the brief - and I find I procrastinate too much with anything goes and so find it more difficult.

Anyway, I hope you haven't been washed away or blown away with this awful weather.  Thoughts and prayers are with anyone experiencing difficulties and especially those  in Texas.

Take care and enjoy your weekend.

    Hi Christine, a beautiful selection of cards, and yes, we were thinking alike- that was the folder I was going to use! It looks lovely with the snowflake. Hugs, Shaz X

    Gorgeous trio Christine. Very clever use of embossing and the 'red' to make such striking cards. Keep safe Zoe x
