Gifts, Ribbons and Bows at Christmas Card Club

 Good morning to you all. Well the weather is definitely autumnal now although the sun is shining albeit with a very chilly breeze.

It's time for another card for our Christmas Card Club and this time Zoe chose the theme.

Card #1 

This uses an image from Dr Digi's House of Stamps and is called Elliot and Elvis. The backing paper is from Delicious Doodles and it is coloured with Promarkers. The sentiment die is Sue Wilson and I just mounted it onto a piece of white card to make it stand out against the busy background.

Card # 2

 Card # 2

This one uses a topper from LOTV.  I still have a few toppers which come to light every now and then and this one was perfect for the challenge. The sentiment stamp is from Little Claire and I have used Spellbinders dies throughout.  The gorgeous striped ribbon is from the local haberdashers and I have it in various colours.


I'm up to my eyes in crafting stuff for our WI members. Just when we thought we were going to be able to re-start our meetings the regulations changed again so that is no longer possible. But we all need to do the best we can to keep this virus under control and if this is what it takes then so be it. I make a card and we include a gift for each missed meeting.  We are going to have to put our thinking caps on and try to work out things which are not too expensive since it might be many months yet before we can get together - and we are not able to raise any funds either so it is a case of being careful and following the rules of what we can and can't do! 😉😊

Well take care and enjoy your weekend.  I'll be back tomorrow with my DT card for International Art and Soul.

Hi Christine, two fab cards for the challenge. Love the images, and your colouring is lovely. I'm a bit of a fan of striped and spotted ribbon myself, and have bought them in quite a few colours. I think stripes can work on masculine cards, which is always good. Hugs, Shaz X
