Christmas Card Club - Layers

 Good morning and here is another card for the Christmas Card Club.  The theme this time is "Lots of Layers" and it was chosen by Lorrraine.

My Card

My card is almost, but not quite, an A5 card but I chopped a bit off the side for symmetry. As you can see there are certainly plenty of layers .

I used matte and mirror silver card stock, from Crafter's Companion, which makes it very difficult to photograph but at least it doesn't look black which sometimes happens.

Dies used: John Next Door - Frame from Calling Angels and snowflakes are Baroque Snowflakes.

Presscut- Notched Rectangles

Sue Wilson - Let it Snow die.

The weather has been quite autumnal for the last few days. I do hope you are all well and enjoying life.

Take care.

It's Merry and Bright at Winter Wonderland

Good morning to you all and I hope this finds you all well. This post was due yesterday but my new computer was delivered late yesterday morning and I had no access to my computer until the evening while John was setting it up and transferring stuff over from one to the other.  That is an ongoing task as there is a lot to sort.  However, at least I have access to emails, blogger etc. And that is when I discovered that although I thought I had scheduled my post it certainly didn't appear.  I didn't realise this until evening so I decided to delay posting until this morning.

My nephew started a new job earlier this week.  He had been with his previous company for 25 years so this was quite a major step, but one which he was ready to embrace. I wish him all the luck in the world.  My sister knew about the new job so I'm sure she will have been looking down on him, smiling and sending loving thoughts. 

Why not pop across to the blog and check out what my teamies have come up with and perhaps join in the challenge.  We are a Just For Fun challenge but have some super banners for the winners.

Well that's all from me today.

Take care.

Snowflakes for Winter Wonderland

Good Morning I hope you are all well. It is dry here but so cold, and it's June .....

Today my card is my DT post for Winter Wonderland.  It is the turn of the Snowflakes Team and Cindy, our hostess this time, has chosen, appropriately, "Snowflakes".  Please remember we just accept Christmas projects.

My Card

Recipe

6" square card base - The Range cardstock

DP - Papermania "Contemporary Christmas" - ancient stash

Embossing folder - magazine freebie

Die - Presscut Round Stitch Hole dies

Silver snowflake - tree decoration bought from Blue Cross charity shop

I temporarily attached the embossed piece to the card front and die cut the hole then sandwiched the thread from the snowflake decoration between the two pieces and glued it together.  Silver Cosmic Shimmer Silver Pearl PVA formed the pearly dots and here I have one extremely simple Christmas card, yet so effective.  It really does look so much better in real than the picture shows.  I knew that snowflake would come in handy one day!!

Please pop across to the blog and see what the rest of the team have made.  I am sure you will be inspired to join in, and what could be more simple than snowflakes?

Our sponsor is LC Designs (used to be known as Little Claire) and they offering  six digi images,and also Drawn With Character who are offering a £10 voucher to spend in store.  So come on, sort out those snowflake stamps and dies and join the challenge.  What have you got to lose?

Well that's it from me.

Take care.
