Saturday and it's another weekend!

Morning readers, 

I've a make to share with you today ....... it's a Christmas card and, yes, I KNOW it's really rather early but ... there are numerous Christmas challenges out there - all trying to get us crafters on target in time for Christmas 2023! It sounds so very far away but, to me, Christmas 2022 only feels like it was a few weeks ago and yet - TWO MONTHS! 

My 3½" x 4⅞" card

Materials used:
  • White, 250gsm, 3½" x 4⅞" card and matching envelope
  • Card in white and navy, for my card front, insert and matting
  • VERY elderly Inkadinkado sentiment (so elderly I can find no trace of the reference number, sorry) stamped using Versafine Clair twilight ink
  • HLS star snowflake (from "Let it snow") stamped using Versafine Clair paradise ink and, whilst still wet, sprinkled with Funstamps hologram embossing powder and then heat set - to give it some major sparkle

I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-
  1. Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - challenge No. 200 - ANYTHING GOES - 3rd entry
  2. Peace on Earth - challenge No. 34 - ANYTHING GOES
  3. Scraps of Life - Feb Rudolph Day - ANYTHING CHRISTMAS GOES
  4. The Holly and Ivy - challenge No. 134 - ANYTHING CHRISTMAS GOES
  5. Outlawz - Festive Friday - CHRISTMAS ANYTHING GOES

I love these and admire them because I am useless with white spaces and always have to fill them up. I have a a few variations of that sentiment in my stamps and it one I love to use. Great cards. Kate x

This is a great sentiment and a good size as the main image on a card Kathy, and I love the accompanying blue snowflake and the matted layer to complete this wonderful Christmas card. x

Your card is lovely as ever! I always enjoy seeing your envelopes, and the inside photos of your cards. They are always as lovely as the fronts!

Thanks for taking part in the Rudolph Days Challenge.
