John Next Door Shutter Card Die set

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I have just finished two weeks of invigilating. The kids we have worked with have been very good and have coped with the difficult circumstances we have all had to deal with. I am posting on a Saturday as I have some news that I have been sitting on for a while. 

Back in the summer I applied to be a Guest John Next Door Angel for the month of September. Well that didn't work out. A bit later on a received and email that I assumed would tell me that too many people had applied and that I hadn't made the cut. Well I was wrong I was given the chance to be a Guest Angel for November. In October I received my dies and I had a great time making cards with the Shutter cards die set and the Poppy Heads dies. 

The dies were released on Hochanda yesterday and they proved to be very popular. I tried to make a range of card with the dies to show how versatile they could be. 

I will start with the Christmas cards I made. All the dies and papers I used have been designed by John Lockwood aka John Next Door.  


This card was shown in the Facebook Live the day before the release. By accident I made this card open the other way to most of them. It works just as well. 


Here is a more straight forward Christmas card. 


Here I made a Christmas card with Sam's Circles die set. I used the flags that came with Shutter Card die set. 


Here are the Christmas cards together. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Happy Crafting
