WWC 275 Karen's challenge: All About Ocassions

Hi there - time for another challenge at Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  Karen is our hostess with an All About Occasions challenge

 

Today I am sharing a Christmas card I made for Jo's Christmas Kickstart as well.

I used Gina K wreath builder stencil and used Catherine Pooler Designs Tilly's Gardent to make my wreath with a variety of Altenew green inks.  I found a little sticker in my stash that is a foiled Merry Christmas and added it to the centre of my wreath.  I added a little double die cut bow from a Couture Creations die I picked up for $5 the other day. 

Come and join in the fun at  Watercooler Wednesday Challenge and check out the project from the other designers.  Then take our challenge and link up your project to the challenge post.    We'd love to have you join us.  You have until Monday at 5 pm Mountain Standard Time (Tuesday at 11.00am NZ time ) to link up your project.

Two more last minute Christmas cards

Hi there... my last two Christmas cards using the patterned paper pack I got the other day.

Both of the cards used some of the Couture Creations Bells as well.   I embossed the sentiment on the second card with some bronze metallic powder and added some Nuvo drops

As it's the last Christmas Kickstart, Jo has an Anything Goes  - Last minute Madness.. so I'll be entering my first card

Things are getting organised here for Christmas.  I finish work of Friday for a two week break - we are having Christmas Breakfast here with Kieran, Erin and Grace and a couple of friends from Napier, before heading to other friends for lunch with their family.  I plan to do some baking on Monday and Tuesday - some shortbread and mini pecan pies.

Enjoy the next week till Christmas. 

Traditional Christmas

I've made a Christmas card for two challenges - Jo's Christmas Kickstart challenge theme is "The Christmas Story" and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge theme is "Traditional Christmas" 

Last year I pinned some vintage music sheets - mostly Christmas music.   I printed the "O Little Town of Bethlehem" sheet music to fit onto an A6 card base.  I edged with some Vintage Photo distress ink. The silhouette die is from Couture Creations.   I saved my sentiment for inside the card.

Thanks for stopping by.   

Christmas at CCC Reveal and a Vintage Santa

I have heard from my recipient to say my card had arrived for the November CCC.  I chose to send a Christmas card to my CCC partner as it was one of my very best online friends.... none other than the lovely Greta Hess....aka GG Creations

Here is the card I made for her using the theme of Baubles.

My background paper was some wrapping paper that came from charity I help as a thank you for the donations this year.  I trimmed a little bit to the make the background, layered onto some bronze/gold card.  I die cut the Altenew Mid Century Frame die from the same bronze/gold card as well as the sentiment from Britannia Dies.  My baubles are a little stamp from Couture Creations that I stamped on a white circle.  I used a variety alcohol markers to colour them and added some glitter gel.

And I have a card to share that I added to the "Show us your Santas" at Jo's Christmas Kickstart Challenge

 This stamp is a white silicone stamp from La Blanche that I got many years ago.  I used Catherine Pooler ink - Eucalyptus ink and Altenew Obsidian ink to stamp the image.  I added some pencils on the holly to enhance it.  The sentiment is from a Hero Arts set.  I tore around the image and added some of the green ink to distress.  

Thanks for stopping by today.  Hope your Christmas cards are coming along.  I'm off to start addressing mine.
