Hi Everyone
I hope Sunday has been a good day for you.
It has flown by in the blink of an eye for me .. .. just like the whole weekend has in fact!
Part of my day has involved making a couple of cards for entering into the Christmas Kickstart Challenge for this fortnight where the theme is Christmas Card, Christmas Card - Christmas Tree.
The lovely Darnell is Jo's little elf helper this fortnight and as some of you will know Darnell runs a couple of challenges .. .. one of which is called a "Twofer" Challenge where you make two "different" cards with the same stamp or die. Sadly I have never had chance to enter .. .. even though at the start of the challenge I will put what I want to use to one side in the hope of entering. Sorry Darnell, hopefully I will get there one day!!
Anyway, Darnell's theme has come along to the Christmas Kickstart Challenge and we are asked to make two Christmas Cards using the same Christmas tree. Mine is a die but it could also have been a stamp or even a peel-off I guess.
Anyway this is what I came up with:
These used:
Christmas Tree Die: My Favorite Things "MFT-1429" Christmas Tree Window
Sentiments: Lili of the Valley Christmas Sentiment Tags and Washi Tape
Backing Papers: From the Works and The Range
GlitterCard
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Ribbon
Tiny Pom-poms
Nail Heads
There is still one day to enter if anyone else fancies playing along , ,,, but for me this means that Christmas cards 34 and 35 go into the box!! Yay!!
Catch you again soon

Your cards are stunning, Jules. I love your colour choice and the glittery trees and the papers are beautiful. xx
ReplyDeleteFabulous! Love the colour combination and as always, I could gaze at your neat stitching for hours! Plus you've given me an idea for a card, so thank you! x
ReplyDeleteWow love these and the backing papers are fab must look out for them. Oh I wish I had 30 odd cards made I keep trying lol. Take care
ReplyDeleteWell done making two more cards for your healthy Christmas card stash, Jules! That little tree is so versatile and I love how you have decorated it in both cards and the pretty pp and bow you have used! I bought that die after Christmas last year, so thank you for the inspiration! And thank you for playing in Jo's Kickstart/Twofer challenge!! Hugs, Dolly
ReplyDeletep.s. Who's Dolly you might ask? That's what a group of friends calls me and I just signed off on one of their cards and then forget to use my other name. Hard to remember my birth name at my age, let alone my nicknames!! xxoo
ReplyDeleteWeekends do have a habit of rushing by! Two more super cards for your Christmas box and that is a great die, pleased you managed a 'twofer', they can be fun.
ReplyDeletethese are stunning Jules, the splash of red against the icy blues looks amazing, great design lay out

What a great Twofer Jules! I love the tree die, I think it is so fun and festive and you have made it look even more festive with the glittery papers. So cute with the pompoms on the one tree, loving the beautiful papers you used used and that bow, oh my goodness, that bow is stunning. Hugs, Brenda
