Our theme was chosen by Margaret who is our chief organiser. She has made a fabulous card which really says Christmas lights, do go and visit here.
Already it is Christmas card club again and we're sharing cards with Christmas lights of any kind. At first I was thinking I may have to opt for the 'anything goes' alternative option, but then thought what better lights are those that welcome folk to your home in the festive season, not only the lamps outside but the warm glow through the windows and any glass in your front door. I've made it a festive door by adding a beautiful holly garland and door wreath. It's a simple card with a clear message. All images were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and then I've coloured them all in with my Stampin' Blends. Also all images are from the Stampin' Up! set At Home with You which compliments my thoughts of warm lights at home and a warm welcome. The stamp set has coordinating dies called At Home framelits. This super set of products retire at on 3 June so if either the stamp set or dies appeal now is the time to buy.
The stamp set is rather like a puppy - not just for Christmas and can be used all year. The dies fit the images including one that cuts the door out as I mentioned before, but also one that cuts it so you can open the door and reveal images behind. You can see an example on this stampingscene post.
I'm running late so I'm off to visit the other CCC ladies and see what light cards they've shared.
Thanks for checking in and Happy Bank Holiday or Memorial Day weekend.
Hugs Zoe

Hello there Zoe, yes we've all been there at some time. Good job that lovely coloured door could be cut out. Beautifully designed card, perfect for the challenge, Kate x x
You made me smile with your dropped red pen story. I had just put sticklers onto my LOTV image for the challenge and dropped it - of course it landed face down and made a mess!!! Every Christmas I want to have a red door because they just look so fabulous sporting a Christmas wreath. And yours is no exception Zoe. Great!Hugs Christine x
Oh Zoe how many times have I done the same thing....I rarely have a matching die when I do it and end up fussy cutting....this door stamp and die is a real cracker...and perfect for the theme.......a great card.hugs xxxx
A great fix for your splatters Zoe, so annoying when that happens but you have retrieved it and created a beautiful card for our theme.

Glad you managed to save the image, the finished card is gorgeous, love the traditional Christmas look.
Really lovely - brilliant card and I love those lanterns xx
Well you couldn’t have positioned those splatters more perfectly in order to die cut them from the image.!! Super save and a brilliant result. Hugs Mrs A.
