I folded, and made a Christmas card.......or three......I really didn't want to do it...!!!!!!!


 

I know I know, everyone is making them but I just don't like to do it this time of year, anyhow, when I was sorting the 'drawer' situation out and got to arrange my EF stash out I found one that I had left a note on last time I used, it was to make these cards which I had seen on another blog....seriously though I have no idea which blog, so please forgive me if it was one of you, OR, you know who it was, I promise to give credit where its due....

TH folder, inked up on debossed side  and run through big shot, from there shade, splash, bits of stamping, layer up on various card and done..


and of course a multiple 'Christmas' die also layered up, to give it some umph!!!!

Then I thought  I'll just do this one, similar


Not happy with the sentiments on this but tried to lift and it was tearing the card, can't have that so its staying..

THEN, I did this one.


This one is same EF but used my huge roll of sticky backed silver tape, bits of a roll around the block with my wheel and stamped a sentiment on more of the silver stuff...done...

Hope you like, I just thought they were a good change...so now I have had it with Christmas until nearer the time, I just can't, I want more summer sun :))

Thats it for today folks, hope your having a lovely day / evening wherever you may be, take care.

Wow! These are stunning Janette, so elegant and classy in those soft, muted shades. It's a beautiful EF and looks lovely embossed on the silver card too.
Hope you have some sunshine today.

Gorgeous card and very unusual too. I especially like the first two, great work. I make Christmas cards all year round as it saves panicking in November x

You are very daring Janette lol. I can't get Christmas motivated yet either. I, like you want a summer first! But, saying that, these are absolutely stunning and a great start to have when you are ready to get going on them again!!
