Handmade Christmas Card Blog Hop - Sending Cheer
Happy Saturday and welcome to my Christmas card post for the Stampin' for Christmas blog hop and also a day early for Christmas Card Club. The theme for the hop is simply Christmas and card club this fortnight we are making and sharing makes with the theme of humour or anything goes. I think mine is loosely humorous, but definitely anything goes.
I am a member of the 2023 Sales and Promotion Demonstrator Council and was lucky to be sent the Sending Cheer bundle to create samples to share in our global demonstrator group. Our new winter mini went live to demonstrators this week and will be open for orders from the public in September so if you NEED to see it sooner then please do contact me about joining to get early access and the chance to order.
I made this card using the Santa hat die from the bundle which is primarily a tag die so I disguised the ribbon hole with festive pearls and I've also added a beard from the Gnome dies and coloured the nose with Bubble Bath marker.
I've added the sentiment using the So Very Merry and Celebrate with Tags stamp sets. It's an easy but fun card and a quick make which is what we all want for our handmade Christmas cards isn't it!
The design is layered onto black and real red card stock to coordinate with Santa's regular outfit.
Enjoy the hop and don't forget to come back tomorrow to visit the Card Club ladies via the link above for lots of humorous card ideas.
Thanks for popping by and happy crafting

After creating several blue sheets I added some Real Red. This created a mix and eventually purple.

Quick and easy handmade Christmas card ideas
I'm a little late, but the Christmas Card Club are sharing cards with a winter village scene this fortnight. I had thought I had nothing to share so was heading for the anything goes get out of jail option, but then opened my new pack of One Horse Open Sleigh 6" x 6" printed papers (DSP). I teamed this sheet with the Trucking Along bundle to create my village scene.
Using papers makes it easy to create a quick card or multiples especially with a pack of papers like this as there are 4 of each design. When you are making lots of seasonal cards then easy and quick designs make it much more fun and you can vary with each paper design.
The truck is so cute too and you can use the stamp set all year as there are numerous things to put inside it. I've also added some Wink of Stella to the lights for a little sparkle, but no matter how I tried it didn't want to show in my photograph.
Do take a few minutes to look around the other ladies in our club to see some different ideas for cards using the theme ranging from up cycling to stamping.
Thanks for checking in and do visit again soon.
Happy crafting Zoe x
