LOTV Nativity Christmas Cards

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends

How was your weekend? I hope you were able to do something nice. On Saturday we went to our niece's party in Swindon it was at the local football club.  We had planned to visit some National Trust properties on the way there and on the way back but the weather wasn't on our side. We ended up doing quite a lot of shopping. We did get some bargains.

This year I am determined to not be in a rush making Christmas cards in December. I also have challenged myself to enter the Rudolph Days  Challenge every month until December.

This was quite a quick card to make. I love LOTV toppers they are so cute. The backing paper was in my stash as was the ribbon.  

These images are so cute and they remind me of my days in school. 

This is the comtempory Happy Christmas die from Creative Expression. 

The card was so quick to make I made a second card with another image from the set. 

We are having internet issues at the moment. I might be a bit intermittent with my contact until they are resolved. 

Happy Crafting

I would like to enter the January Rudolph Days Challenge.

Christmas Reindeer

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

Well that was a busy weekend. Ally Pally was fab on Saturday and we had a lovely meal with our family on Sunday. My husband has a few days back at work and then he has about a week's leave. I do need his help with some of the wedding makes.

Believe it or not I have been making Christmas cards again I made 12 of these. I have had the design going round my head for ages so I just had to make it.

This is an A6 card and I made them with my husband's work team in mind. I will be decorating the envelopes too. Last year I decorated some envelopes and not others and there were complaints. So that isn't happening this year. Both of the papers I used are from Stampin Up. 

The reindeer is one of the stamps in the Stampin Up Cookie-Cutter Christmas stamp set. He was stamped onto water colour card and coloured with my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens. I do have the matching punch to cut him out. In the background you can see the Rustic Twig Wreath from Creative Expressions. The scalloped squares were cut with a Spellbinders die. 

The Happy Christmas was cut with the Contemporary  Happy Christmas by Creative Expressions. 

At Ally Pally we sat in the audience and watched Barbara Grey demonstrate live on TV and the same with Julia Watts. Every so often they would turn the camera on the audience I had to keep waking my husband up. We saw John Lockwood demonstrate the new Glitter Kiss products. The last picture is of my stash. I did succumb to two of the Glitter Kiss colours. I will let you know how I get on.  

I think these cards are quite jolly. 

I would like to enter challenge 10 at the Christmas Card Challenge blog and Challenge 55 at the Crafty Friends Challenge blog. 

Enjoy your week. 

Happy Crafting
