Stampin' Up! Holly Jolly Greetings
It's already our second Christmas Card Club and our challenge is to include a sleigh as requested by our challenger Maureen.
With all the snow in the USA I've got a very topical card having used Stampin' Up! set Holly Jolly Greetings to create a snowy scene with my sleigh added from the retired set Holiday Home and sentiment from Jingle All The Way. Holly Jolly Greetings is still available on our carryover list.
You can add my favourite bling with sequins, rhinestones and using the fine tip glue some fine silver glitter to the vellum panel that is over the stamped snowflakes. You can use washi tape to adhere the vellum, hence getting around the issue of glue showing through and leaving marks you don't really want.
Did you see the panda at the Washington DC Zoo? We visited him in January last year when we visited friends, but thankfully not in the snow. Keep safe all caught up in the snow.
Back soon, but in the meantime please do visit the others in our club for more inspiration. Zx

Such a fun and Merry Christmas card full of snowy bling! I have to be honest with you Zoe - your Panda pictures stole the show. Aren't they the sweetest bears!!

Love your card Zoe. Looks so snowy and festive. Love it. Hugs Rita xxx
Love your snowy card Zoe. We visited the pandas in the Wolong Nature Reserve Panda Sanctuary in China - lots of snow there. Brr! But the baby pandas were adorable.Hugs Christine xx
I love the frosty feel to your card Zoe and the panel of vellum adds to the frosty touches. I've seen vellum used quite a lot lately, must get my stash out and use some up too.

There's something both traditional and modern about your card. I think it looks so pretty!
Lovely Zoe...love the use of the vellum gives it a ethereal dimension....great card xxxx
Thank you Pia. I like a combo of time! Zx
Thanks Sandy. You're right though the Panda is my Favourite too! Tee Hee
Wow Christine that sounds very exciting to have seen them in China. I hope we can keep them going around the world, such lovely creatures.
Yes vellum does seem to be quite popular, easy to use to add some texture and softness. Thank you. Zx
Thanks Margaret. Vellum is fun too use to create different looks isn't it.
Your card looks lovely but the Zoo photos steal the show. Your kids look delighted to be there!

Hi Zoe, fabulous card, I love the use of the vellum and seeing the details behind it, gorgeous colours and detail.
Saw a video of that gorgeous Panda on FB, he was having such fun, Kate x
Lucky you to see the Panda! Aren't they the most gorgeous looking of all bears? Love your sleigh card...like all that snowy goodness with the silhouette sleigh flying skyward. Great tip on the washi & vellum too. TFS & Hugs.
Gorgeous card Zoe, the colours are just beautiful and a great tip for sticking down the vellum. Have seen the Edinburgh pandas xx
I love your vellum panel over the top and using the washi tape to attach is a great idea. We saw the panda clips on the TV where they said that the video had gone viral. He certainly looked like he was having fun in all that snow. Hugs Mrs A.
Gorgeous card Zoe & I love the photos :o)
