Christmas Card Club "Let it Snow"

Good morning all.

After spending Friday doing chores (including the basket of ironing) yesterday was spent crafting. I managed to finish some projects which had been sitting around since before my holidays and do some DT work.

Another two weeks have passed so it must be time for us girls to share our Christmas Card Club makes. the lovely Christine set the theme this time with "Let it Snow".


The bauble die is from Joanna Sheen's Signature Dies and was newly purchased just before my holidays. The embossing folder is from Spellbinders - this is an oblong folder but I positioned it to leave a top edge to match the sides and allowed the bottom to emboss over the edge. Sentiment is from Woodware Stamps. Finished with some black twine and a few gemstones. Another flat one for posting!

If you'd like to see the other girl's take on the challenge you'll find their names on my sidebar.

Challenges entered:
ABC Christmas - off the edge
CHNC Extra - anything Christmas goes
The Glory of Christmas - feature a creature
Sparkles Forum Christmas - ribbon, lace or twine
The Crafty Calendar - Christmas in July
My Time to Craft - Christmas in July

    Once again, a gorgeous card. Loved your embossing and admire your creativity & skill in placing that EF to emboss just where you wanted it. It's a very pretty look. Also like the crisp black & white color combo that you chose, and the penguin ornament image is darling. Definitely fits the Let It Snow challenge...very Artic! Well done. TFS & Happy Sunday
