Hello friends
Today's post is a little late being published...helps if I press that
schedule button!
It's a Christmas card - I got told off on Facebook for mentioning Christmas
but in the crafting industry we do work months ahead and I'm happy
to talk about Christmas any time of the year - I love it!
I've gone for navy blue and white card and used
2013 Holiday Trees (available here) -
I wanted a sort of pine tree forest look.

Adding a few crystal gemstones and my favourite - a tag and twine,
job done!

Take care friends - have a great weekend and stop by tomorrow...

Good morning Christine, really striking card today, using all the sizes on the one card was a bit of inspiration.
ReplyDeleteMorning Christine, I have been making the c word cards all this week. Check out my blog http:createdbyjan.blogspot.com. Lovely card you have made in not a traditional colour. Janice x

Hi Christine
ReplyDeleteGreat card today, I love how you've used all the size trees! Navy is one of my favourite colours for Christmas. Needless to say I have yet to make a start on mine!
Enjoy your day in the shop.

Hello Christine, this is a great card. It's good to have some inspiration 'cos the thought of making Christmas cards while the sun shines is not appealing. Oh it's stopped shining so I might as well get started. xxMargaretxx
ReplyDeleteHi Christine
ReplyDeleteIn my house it's never too soon to talk of Christmas, I make over 100 _cards to send and to sell so always start making them in the first week in January so as not to be rushed. It also means I can recycle bits from the previous years cards, thrifty idea yes!. Love this card and as I have the dies will be making my own version in red I think.
Best wishes to you all

I know I'll have to start sometime :[ but Christmas in August holds no appeal for me. Having said that your card today has given me a couple of ideas. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Christine, I am pleased to say he is down and in one piece, I can think of better ways of spending a Saturday. A pretty card you are giving us lots of ideas for the big C. X
ReplyDeleteLovely card & great colours. Good one to produce in larger numbers i'd think.

Hi Christine
ReplyDeleteLovely card. Definitely NOT too early to start cards! This year I'm going to make all the tags too -even if I find I'm rushed and it's simply a bauble shape! Best wishes, Anne O
hi Christine. I love this gorgeous Christmas card. I love the navy/white combo, it is stunning. Like you I could look at them all year round : )
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a good weekend. Take care.
Hi Christine. You always manage to come up with unusual designs, and this is no exception. I like it. Anne x
ReplyDeleteHI Christine, I'm on 'catch up' again! Love your Christmas card...have no fear in mentioning this word, I think al crafters are resigned to using it from about June (at least), I have been trying so hard to fit some in around everything else at the moment! hugs Carole Z X
