Hello there. I am hosting the new challenge at ABC Christmas Challenge. The letters are ‘C’ and ‘D’ and we want to see your Christmas/Festive creations utilising ‘Checks’ and/or ‘Die cuts’. Here is my card using both the themes:

Onto a card base I adhered some checked patterned paper, then die cut a Spellbinders frame from grey card, adding some snowflakes die cut from white glitter card stock.

I then die cut the snowman, and as all the pieces stayed in the glitter card stock – I left them all in – just covering them at the back with some double-sided tape.

I then die cut the hat and nose from black glitter card, adding as you see.

The sentiment is also from Spellbinders – adding some black behind the words to ensure they stood out a little more than it would have done on the grey background die cut.

I am also offering a couple of stamp sets as a prize for a random winner – so everyone is in with a chance to win:

I hope you can come and join us with you Christmas/Festive creations following our two themes – one or both of them. I look forward to seeing you in our gallery.

I shall be entering the following challenges:

Merry Little Christmas Challenge – anything goes Christmas

Peace On earth Challenge – anything goes Christmas

Lil Patch Of Crafty Friends – anything goes

Sparkles Forum Christmas – Christmas and non-traditional colours

A Perfect Time To Craft – anything goes

The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge has started a new challenge, the theme is ;anything goes Christmas/Festive’. Here is my card:

This set of cards was created using some decoupage scenes recently received. I have never been a fan of this kind of layering – too fiddly and fussy for me – but I really enjoyed putting these together. I love the cuteness of them all, and they match so well together. I may well gift these as a complete set for someone.

I created the scenes, then added a white layer, and some patterned paper onto the base cards.
