Good Afternoon Ladies, I must apologise for not posting any cards since Thursday but Ive been a bit busy trying to catch up with not only my DT cards but also family birthday cards, and Im still down on one card but as Im waiting for my image to be sent to me I thought Id take a bit of time out to post this card.
Now I suppose you will be wanting to know why a Christmas card, well you can blame Pops for that, she started a new Challenge on Facebook five weeks ago, and any of you can take part if you click on this link here its only to give us the excuse to start creating cards each week to be ready for sending out once December comes around again. Oh before I forget, there is no prize for taking part just a bit of fun.
Ive actually used Crafters Companion Adorables images for my card, both the children and the fireplace are two stamps and Ive stamped them close together to give the illusion of them standing close to the fireplace. Ive coloured it with my copic pens and cut it out with my rotatrim, the card is a 6"x 6" white card and a first mount of red card and two papers from the "Deck the Halls" paper pad from Papermania, the first paper is a stripped one, and on top Ive mounted a beige paper with a red pattern on, then along the side of this I have wrapped a wide holly patterned ribbon down the card.
On top Ive put my mounted image and then stuck the sentiment (which is one of LOV seal stamps) at the bottom on the right hand side. To finish of Ive popped three buttons down the right hand side at the top.

Wishing you a good week!

Hi Shirley.
I am sure it is never too soon to make Christams cards. The trouble is there are so many other occasions that get in the way... Birthdays, Valentine's Day, Easter..... the list just goes on. A cardmaker's life is never boring!
Love and hugs,
