Week 21

This is my entry for Fab's Big Christmas Cards Challenge. This week's theme is to cut a diagonal on either a square or rectangular card and/or using some modern Xmas papers. Thanks for looking.

Candle and Vintage card

Last few weeks the weather was so good, and we hiked quite a lot. Therefore, I made no time to create Christmas Cards. Today it is raining, so I catch up a little with Fab's blog. This card is a late entry for the Candle and Vintage theme. Thanks for looking.

Snowflakes and embossing

This is my entry for Fab's Big Christmas Cards Challenge. This week's theme is Snowflakes and embossing. I used the cuttlebug to emboss a piece of ColorCore cardstock and sanded it to reveal the underlying color. The other snowflakes are made of paper, felt and metal. The 'Merry Christmas' stamp is from Blonde Moments. Thanks for looking.

Word confetti cards

These are my entries for Fab's Big Christmas Cards Challenge. This week's theme is to make a word confetti card with a wide matting. For the background I used a Paperartsy mini stamp with a lot of Christmas related words. The confetti is from a pack of Christmas papers also from Paperartsy. This was such a fun theme, I created two cards! Thanks for looking.

Pleated card

This is my entry for Fab's Big Christmas Cards Challenge. This week's theme is to make a pleated card. This was a new technique in which I could use my newly bought scor-pal! Mine has a metric scale, so I folded the paper at 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 centimeters, etc. I finished the card with several embellishments from my stash. Thanks for looking.

Triangular and stamped

This is my entry for Fab's Big Christmas Cards Challenge. This week's theme is to make a stamped triangular card. Can you believe, the year is hardly started and we have been making 10 Christmas cards already? The sentiment is in Dutch. It means Happy Holidays. Thanks for looking.

Metal art card

This is my entry for Fab's Big Christmas Cards Challenge. This week's theme is to make a card with an alternative technique. I made a small card (3 by 4 inch) and used metal for one of the trees and for the Joy word. The stamps and the green paper are from Paperartsy. The accents on the trees are made with stickles and Sepia accents (Ranger).

Vintage and Round Focal Point

This is my entry for Fab's Big Christmas Cards Challenge. This week's theme is a vintage card with a round focal point. The focal point on this card is a PaperArtsy stamp that I embossed using distress embossing powder. Thanks for looking.

Poinsettia card

This week's challenge at Fab's Big Christmas Cards Challenge is to make a card with white space and a poinsettia. My English is apparently not good enough for this challenge, I had to google to find out that a poinsettia is called a 'Kerstster' in Dutch! My poinsettia is made from grungeboard, and coloured with distress inks. The stamps are from PaperArtsy.

Ribbons and tags

Bling card

Vintage

This is my entry for Fab's Big Christmas Cards Challenge. This week's theme is Vintage Colours and/or Stripes. I managed to put in both!

Glitter Snowman

Last year, we did not make the Christmas cards ourselves, as it was November before we knew it.... So, this year I decided to join Fab's Big Christmas Cards Challenge, and try to make a card each week. It worked for the first week LOL!

The snow man is from CreaMotion paper, the Merry Christmas text is from old Daisy D's paper. Although everything glitters on this card, my scanner refuses to show it ....
