         This is a make for

 Beccy's Place: A Month Of Holiday Cards Challenge

 - which is now in its 13th year!

This card follows the prompt O - Day 17

O is for Overlapping funfold card - I am linking to Beccy's tutorial for this.

I have held the fold in place with a paper clip with a blue tree.

Once again I used a nutcracker image from this Gecko Galz




I used blue card with a paper from Sugar and Spice Studio Ocean Hues.


I added embellishments from the 49 & Market Evergreen collection.

In the middle I put an OVAL in which to write a message.

I will add this to the challenge

Conjurer of Dreams November Tag Challenge

 


This is my make for the Conjurer of Dreams


with a freebie image.


I used a piece of Designer paper to make my tag - this was from 49 & Market EverGreen collection. I wanted a paper that echoed the plaid blankets in the freebie image.


I then added an image of pumpkins and a bird - this was torn from a Daphne's Diary magazine.

I will link this to the challenge.

Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards Challenge Day 16 N

        This is a make for

 Beccy's Place: A Month Of Holiday Cards Challenge

 - which is now in its 13th year!

This card follows the prompt N - Day 16

N is for Nutcracker.


This was my Grandad's nutcracker. It was always on the piano in my grandparents' house. When they both passed away and the house contents were sorted out, it came to my parents' house. When we had a party, it would often fall off the bookcase - we always said Grandad must be enjoying the party too. I think it was probably the floorboards shaking the book case! Anyway it is now in my house on my old sewing machine...

At the beginning of the month I made several items for Gecko Galz as the current challenge is

Nutcracker Dreamland

 I made a nutcracker box to contain a candle gift... This is my favourite image
from this collage sheetI also used it on a journaling card in this little junk journal folio .
More details on my blog here


Anyway today I have printed the image again and used it on a card.


I started with a kraft card matted with a paper from 49 & Market Evergreen. I added the image also matted on kraft card and embellishments from the same 49 & Market set.

I will add this to the challenge

 - which is now in its 13th year!

This card follows the prompt M - Day 15

M is for Merry.

Today I am sharing the third of my grid die cut cards.

This started with a red card base with a gold grid cut with a die. I used the same die to cut the red edges and patterned paper shapes. one of these has white trees, the other Merry Christmas.

To finish I added embellishments - a strip of washi, a tree, deer and Merry Christmas - the latter came from 49 & Market, the other two were 'cheap shop' items!

Merry Christmas!
