Snippets Christmas Card

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? We seem to be quite busy. Today my hubby is going to cricket for the first time. We live near to the Aegeus Bowl the home of Hampshire Cricket. He is going with friends. I hope he has a good time. I on the other hand will be having coffee with friends. It should be a nice day for both of us. 

At the moment I don't have any deadlines looming so yesterday I made some Christmas cards.  I am so behind on Christmas card making this year. 

The background was made with Snippets of patterned paper. There were so many lying around on my desk they were just asking to be used. 

This is an old card. I cut the card and it's mount with my Double Pierced Square dies from Creative Expressions. I made the Candi for the corners with my Limited Edition Mandala die from the John Next Door range. 

I had two of the  old cards so I was able to make two new cards.

Glamourous Ladies Christmas Card

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you had a good weekend. We actually went to a socially distanced concert on Saturday. It was so lovely to be at an event. Everything was in place to keep you safe. I can't believe we are so close to Christmas. 

This is the card that I made for my good friend. We decided to meet for a walk to swap cards so I was able to make her card a bit bigger. 

I keep cards with images of this type of lady. My friend likes them a lot. 

So this image was cut from an old card. 

The Poinsettias and Ivy were cut with dies by John Next Door. I added pearls to the centres to make them a bit more opulent. At the back is white glitter card. 

I know my friend liked this card. It was lovely seeing her for a walk. Unfortunately we did get caught in the rain. Tonight is the night that  two planets are in conjunction  which will make what some people are calling the Bethlehem star. I do hope the skies will be clear enough to see it. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:
