Delicate Pine Frame Gift Card Holder

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How was your weekend? I bet you have been busy. We got all our cards sorted for posting on Saturday. On Sunday our daughter and son-in-law came to us so we could go to the Nativity service at our church. The big draw was that there were live animals at the church. After the service we all drove to Fleet to take my parents out for a meal. After the meal we headed over to see my husband's parents. When we got home we collapsed in a heap. But of course there were still more things to do.

As we get closer to Christmas I have had a few last minute creations to make. I needed a holder for some gift cards.

I really like the Delicate Pine frame from Memory Box.  I needed a bigger card than the one I made before so on one of the layers I used the Falling Snow embossing folder from Creative Expressions. 

In the corner I added a sentiment from the Star Tags die set from John Next Door. 

Finally I added the small deer from the Winter Wonderland die set from Sizzix which I also I used to make the snow behind the Delicate Pine Frame. 

I really do hope that you have a good week.  I know there is a lot to do. I also know that I am going to struggle to do regular blog posts. Please bear with me.

Deer in the Snow Christmas Card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How has your week been? I have been very busy. There just seems to be so much to do. It doesn't help when your husband needs extra cards for his work colleagues and I thought I had made extra.

I haven't made as many Christmas cards as I thought I had. Once I had made the extra cards for my husband I looked around my craft area and found lots of bits that had been cut but not used. So I made this quick card with them.

The backing paper was left over in my stash. 

I used the Delicate Pine Frame die from Memory Box for the frame and the tree. The deer and the snow were cut with the Winter Wonderland dies from Sizzix. 

The sentiment was cut with the sentiment die from the Happy Snowflakes die set from John Next Door. 

This isn't too bad for a lot of left over bits and pieces.

Two cards made with the Delicate Pine Frame Die Set

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How was your weekend? We had a busy time as usual. We did buy a tiny Christmas Tree and it is in the lounge waiting to be decorated.

A little while ago I was lucky and I won a die on the Crafter's Castle Challenge Blog. It arrived last week and I couldn't wait to have a play.

I won the Delicate Pine Frame die from Memory Box. That includes the frame the tree and the birds.  I added a snow background with the Winter Wonderland die from Sizzix. The deer come with that die set too. The Happy Christmas comes from the Star Tags dies set from John Next Door. 

I made another card with the same design in  red, white and blue.  I know just who to send this card too. 

Here they are together. I am think I am getting close to the number of Christmas cards I need. If I find I am short I might make some more of these. Have a great week.
