Beccy's Place: A Month of Holiday Cards Challenge - D

This is another make for

 Beccy's Place: A Month Of Holiday Cards Challenge

 - which is now in its 12th year!

Well I am gradually beginning to catch up - and I am certainly adding to my Christmas card collection!

This card follows the D prompt - Day 21

I was looking through my stash and came across a decorated DOILY and some scraps of Graphic 45 paper.

This is what I did with them:



I started with a  square white card blank and added a mat of red followed by the Graphic 45 paper plus the doily.
I then added a banner of the same papers topped with Beccy's freebie banner , printed on vellum and held in place with brads.


I will add this to the challenge

Happy Crafting!

I have been making several cards 
after watching this video: Beautiful star easel

I decided to make another STAR EASEL this morning - however I advise against using a one way design paper as it leads to a lot of unusable triangles! 
I used papers and sentiment from my stash...



This is how it arrives in the envelope


It goes together like this:

Beccy's Place: A Month of Holiday Cards Challenge - R

    

This is another make for

 Beccy's Place: A Month Of Holiday Cards Challenge

 - which is now in its 12th year!

This card follows the R prompt - Day 20

In Beccy's post she used the image that was a freebie in December 2022 - I used it then 

but not in Red but Pink!!

Anyway R is for Red and today I have used a red card blank and layers of papers from my stash. I added image and sentiment from Christmas Cardinals, the image precoloured.




I will add this to the challenge

Rather a schmozzle and not a lot new to see - 

There is a brown package that is a 12 Days Of Christmas gift for me to open when we get to December. The rest just shows a jumble of things I have been using.

I did do Tracy Evans' second workshop which was a card:

 - which is now in its 12th year!

This card follows the Q prompt - Day 19

Funnily enough I have just been making some Quarto folds - Find this here on the

I have used this sort of thing as Christmas table favours with little gifts or 'flat' chocolates inside.



Having folded the little envelopes I decorated them with embellishments.
This first one has Beccy's free poinsettia, printed cut out and added to the front.


I put a little decorated notebook in this one.


As these are going to a crafty friend I have placed a few bits of ephemera in them.










I will add this to the challenge
