Christmas Card Club Finale for 2012

Christmas Stocking Card

Our last challenge for the Christmas Card Club was set by Clare who decided we should make anything but a square card.  It's taken me a while, but I've finally made my card and used the cute Holiday Stocking die.  To make sure I had a fold I used a piece of whisper white cardstock 6" x 12" folded it in half but made sure the fold line was just below the top of the stocking on the die to maintain the fold.  The toe, heel and stocking top have been embossed in the Stampin' Up! Petals a Plenty embossing folder to add texture and I've added rhinestones to for some Christmas sparkle.  My sentiment is from Greetings of the Season which has proved to be a very popular purchase for many this year. 

 

I'm also sharing a picture sent to me by a customer who bought a kit to make this bunting with her children.  I think they did a great job and it looks very festive on their stairs.  Well done Naomi and  Sam with your crafting!!!

Christmas Card Club

Stampin' Up! Christmas Card

 This fortnight's challenge for Christmas Card Club is from Sylvie, who lives in Gibraltar and I'm very envious of her sunshine, but she warms up us with her lovely projects photographed often on beautiful days with the sun shining.  She asked us this time to make a card for Christmas using red and white. 

Mine errs on the side of clean and simple with some of my new products.  The petals a plenty embossing folder is just gorgeous with it's pretty all over flower design.  I've just embossed half of my card base and then stamped using a post it note mask in real red using part of the Creative Elements Stampin' Up! set.  A little bit of silver glimmer paper goes a long way in adding sparkle to your card and a sentiment heat embossed onto an Apothecary Accents Framelit (try saying that three or more times quickly!!)  with some mini brads give the Christmas message. 

It also goes along with the Less is More challenge of use silver on your card and as it's a Christmas card it also suits the clean and simple Christmas Card challenge at St Luke's.
