Card swaps.... Christmas swaps 2021

 Love this time of the year when I do card swaps....I do a couple of monthly one (when I can) through Card Chain Challenge and my NZ swap group, but at Christmas there are others relating to the holidays... 

Here is the card I send to Char for the Hero Arts Fan group on Facebook

Using an older Hero Art Christmas set, I black embossed my Nativity scene and then ink blended the background 

These are the three cards I made for the Merry Christmas - handmade cards and swap group on Flickr. 


I did the same design in three different colour schemes.  Stamps from Gina K's Holiday Tapestry set and added the border stamp to the envelopes.  

And for the Altenew swap - again on the Facebook Fan page:  See this post (Here)

It's a few days to go.  I'm already on my Christmas break.  Taking a good 4 week break after the hard year 2021 has been with our 4 month lockdown.   Plan was to take a trip overseas to visit the family in Perth, Australia... but for another year - no go.   Maybe sometime in 2022

Have a happy Christmas break one and all

Lovely cards, Dawn! As is the beautiful wreath one that I received from you - LOVE it, many thanks! We are in the same boat with you - we haven't seen our grandkids in 2 years - hoping to remedy that in January, but not looking good right now - hope things improve for both of us! Merry Christmas, my friend!
