White on White Christmas

more swap cards for my CraftMad swappers group
 
This Christmas Card swap was a 'white on white with a tag' swap.   I confess, I really struggled with an idea for this one.  It took several days to come up with a design that I thought fitting of a 'white on white' challenge, and it was very late getting to the recipient.
 
Cuttlebug to the rescue with some Christmas Trees die cut, and an aperture cut from the front of a card to make a window.  There is such a gorgeous amount of texture in this card. 

 
And of course, the matching tag!

I have to wonder why I am drawn to snowflakes when making Christmas Cards ..... here in South Australia, we don't have snow .... if it does snow in winter (July/August) it makes front page news!  LOL
 
And a Gift Card Holder - this was created using a prize I won from Christina, of Flowers, Ribbons and Pearls - Christina was most generous in sending it to me, even though I was in Australia and she is in the UK.  This is the second time I have used the die set - the first time was used to hold a small present, but I forgot to take photos.  So thank you Christina, I will be using my prize again very shortly.
 
Sadly, my Gift Card Holder does not fit a gift card!!  Note to self:  check measurements before committing to design.  LOL  It may not fit a gift card, but it will fit some Cash ..... everyone knows, Cash is King!  and it is perfect for holding special small presents.
 
 
Linking with the following challenges:
AAA Cards #305 - white on white (not sure if the card is CAS, but the matching Gift Tag is :) )
Christmas Kickstart Challenge - Anything Christmassy Goes

Christmas Greetings

Another Cardmaking session - some Christmas Cards this time for my CraftMad swap for September - these cards were extremely late in being sent, it was November before the swap was completed..
 
Stamped image and coloured in with watercolour pencils and a bit of metallic paints, die cut several layers of cardstock and DP from my stash.  Some of these papers were in a stack from my Secret Santa parcel for 2024.  I have been looking forward to using these papers.
 
Also made a matching tag.

 
Another card using the double Z-fold process.
 
Same image, this time stamped & heat embossed in gold, lots of layers cut from DP stash. 
 

Card made with lots of scraps and snippets from my DP stash.
