Naughty or Nice?

Time for another card swap - CM June swap cards – Christmas & Sketch (once again, I was extremely late in making and sending these cards)

Card #1 – Christmas

I struggled a little bit for this one ...... not quite in the Christmas spirit just yet LOL
 
But I went through my Christmas Stamps/Dies & papers and very slowly a plan came together.
 
I stamped up some images got from Facebook Marketplace (I think) and hand coloured with a soft watercolour using my inks, then added a touch of Kindy Glitz/Stickles.
 

The centre panel was trimmed, then affixed to some Christmas DP using double-sided tape, which was then attached for the 300gsm cardbase, again using DS tape.


I quite like the 'rustic' fun feel to this one.
 

Linking Card #1 with the following challenges:

Christmas Crafts All Year Round - July Challenge 'M, N, O'  - I chose 'N' Naughty or NiceCritter Crazy Challenge Blog #112  - cute reindeer & snowman critters


 

 

Card #2 – Sketch + Christmas

 
This card came together quite quickly, once I was in the Christmas mood :)
 
I have used some DP that came with my 2025 Secret Santa present - it has been such a great paper pad to have on hand.
 

I stamped up the Santa and sentiment from the MFT Jingle All the Way set and hand cut the Santa out.  I was going to just place the Santa on a diecut circle to fit with the sketch, but I remembered I had some 'wobbles' somewhere in my stash ....... 30 minutes later, I finally found them after putting them away somewhere safe  LOL
 

None of the usual bling for this card ...... but I am quite pleased with how this card turned out.

 

Thank you for visiting my blog today - I hope you have a good day.
