Merry Christmas

Here are a few Christmas Cards I have made recently.

In a recent post, here, I shared that I needed some new Cuttlebug Plates as my old ones had cracked.

Well, I put the new plates to the test and they performed beautifully!
 
I made up two DL size cards for something different!  (which is two-thirds of an A4 sheet)
 
Card#1
 
I die cut a series of letters out of Plaid DP and layered onto white cardstock for dimension. 

 
I used my new 'T square' ruler to align the letters, before affixing with foam tape to red background cardstock.  Gold Peel Off stickers were randomly added to the background, along with a mulberry paper poinsettia.  The background was then affixed to a white DL size cardbase.

Card#2

Again, I used my new 'T square' ruler to align the letters, before affixing with foam tape -- oops, the 'a' has a bit of a 'lean' LOL.  Gold Peel Off stickers were randomly added to the red background cardstock, then affixed to a white DL size cardbase. 
 
 
 
 

AND .... we have a 'dancing' Santa :) stamped and hand coloured with Copics, fussy cut with scissors, highlighted with KindyGlitz, then affixed with a wobble (see video below).
 

 
Must go, I have more Christmas cards on my to do list!
 
Linking Card #1 with the following challenges:
Cardz4Guyz Challenge #362 - Holiday/Christmas Tag/Card 
The Male Room #193 - Anything Goes
 
 
Linking Card #2 with the following challenges:
Christmas Kickstart Challenge #93 - Anything Goes - If it's Christmassy link it up! 
Sparkles Christmas Challenge #167 - Feature a Christmas Song or Carol - I am not so much into Christmas Carols, but I love Slade's 'Merry Christmas Everyone'  LOL  The song was released in 1973 and I play it nice and loud whenever I can :)
Cut It Up Challenge #319 - Use more than one die cut - well I think I got that one covered.  I confess, I didn't think making up the word Merry Christmas would be so fiddly, and take as long as it did!
ABC Christmas Challenge Y - Favourite Color - My most fave Christmas colour is Red combined with gold!

  1. Gorgeous card! Glad the new plates are ok - it is a worry, isn't it. Love your dancing Santa card. I just mad a card with an Avery Elle Santa who is having a bit of a dance, but this BB Santa remains my fave, Jo x
