Christmas Card Club - Anything Goes

Our Christmas Card Club challenge is a simple Anything Goes theme today and so I have gone for simple in every sense with some basic stamping, a little bit of ruler using and some simple but elegant sequins for as you know I can't resist a bit of bling.

The stamp set is Forever Evergreen from the Stampin' Up! UK winter catalogue and you could be forgiven for having missed it as it coordinates with the Forever Evergreen Christmas Tree kit and has no cards featured in the catalogue using it that are obvious.  I love it and am so glad I bought it as the sentiments are modern and fun and the images are perfect for building your own Christmas scenes.  You can see another post  with this Stampin' Up! Forever Evergreen.

There are stamps for the 'strings' on your ornaments, but I wanted longer so I used a ruler and marker pen to add mine.  The colours are Stampin' Up! real red and garden green.

Thanks to  Sylvie for an easy but fun theme.  Don't forget to check out my colleagues in the Card Club Challenge blogs for more inspiration.

Happy day Zx

Christmas Card Club - Sentiment

Lovely Carol set our challenge this fortnight and it was to make the sentiment the focus.  We made this card at my monthly card club this week and even though it is very different from the normal traditional Christmas card it went down very well and the ladies really liked the copper foil card with basic black, smoky slate and basic grey.  I was inspired by  a copper card I saw made by Anja Luft.  She used similar colours but was brave enough to heat emboss in copper powder onto the foil.

My focal sentiment is from the Stampin' Up! stamp set Forever Evergreen which coordinates with the Forever Evergreen Project kit to make 3 very cute and much bigger than you imagine Christmas Trees.  We had fun at another class making these.

I hope you are having a good Sunday. I'm prepping for a fab Stampin' Up! party tomorrow and one of my Christmas Stamp a Stacks on Tuesday so busy busy.

The sun is now shining after all the rain this morning so hopefully a brighter end to our weekend.  Hope it is good with you too!

More soon. Zx
