Non Traditional Colours for Christmas Card Club

Good morning to you all.  First of all I must apologise to my friends in the Christmas Card Club for being a day late. I 've had a busy week with my family here and also four DT cards to produce! Anyway I am here finally.

Card #1

 

Card # 2

 

These two cards are very simple 6" square cards using images from the Hunkdory Little Book of  of Festive Poetry.  I am determined to us this as much as possible.

Card # 3

 

 Recipe 

Decided to make a rocker card for a change.

Papers and topper are from The Paper Boutique "A Whisper of Winter".  I love this set and the muted colours are perfect for Sylvie's challenge.

round dies - Spellbinders Grand Nestabilities Decorative Circles

stitch hole round die - Presscut from Crafts Too

Tonic Nuvo drops

Card # 4 For Rachel

This final card is for Rachels' reindeer challenge which I missed when I was on holiday back in June.  Sorry it has taken so long but I got there eventually!

Recipe

6" square base card 

papers and topper as before

reindeer die - magazine freebie

shimmer gems - Hobbycraft

When I saw this topper with the reindeer I knew it would be perfect for Rachel's challenge.

Well that's it for now.  Hope you all had a great weekend and feel refreshed and ready to start the new week.

Take care.

Bugs at MAWTT

Good morning. It is time for another challenge for Team B at MAWTT and Jessie has chosen the theme and she would like to see bugs on your card or project. Now bugs can mean butterflies, dragon flies, bees, ladybirds, spiders etc.  I have managed to incorporate a bee and some butterflies on my card.

My Card

 

Recipe 

6" square white base card

lilac pearlescent card stock - from stash

paper and topper - Butterfly Ballet from The Paper Boutique

butterfly dies - The Works

Pierced Noble Rectangles - Sue Wilson

This is such a simple card but it is quite pretty. I covered the front of the card with paper from this beautiful pack and then added a frame on top. The lilac pearlescent card stock is from my stash but I'm afraid I cannot remember where I bought it.

Why not pop over to the blog and see what my team mates have made for this challenge and you might be inspired to join in with us. For this challenge you could make male cards or children's card with this theme too.

Hope you have a great day. I'm sure I will - I am off to the NEC to meet up with Mrs Duck where we will no doubt put the world to rights.

Take care.
