The C Word!

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!

LoraineC - wishing your son well in his skydive - how brave!

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.

Great Christmas card - unusual colours but I really like it. A good card to make if you have a lot to do.
Enjoy your day

Hi Christine
Great 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

Hi Christine
In 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.

LoraineC said...

Thank 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

Hi Christine
Lovely 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 : )
I 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

Carole Z said...

HI 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
