Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

December 23, 2013

Only Two more sleeps ....

Hi Everybody,

My posts for the next few days are all scheduled ones as I have family coming for the holidays and I won't have time to write a new one.

The house is all ready and looks really pretty,  with twinkling lights on the tree and along the  mantlepiece.   I have my shopping all done and my menus planned.

Christmas Day will be for eight of us and then on the 28th we are treating all our girls and their other halves ... along with the Grand children ... out for a meal at mine and Griffs'  favorite restaurant.

There will be eighteen of us all together and it should be a really good night out.

So to the card ... this one is very simply made with Matting Basics and  Labels Eighteen and the border is created with the Edgeabilities.

There are three parts to these dies ... one cutting edge and two different inserts for you to ring the changes.

The ribbon is from my "Stash" and I have added   Want2Scrap   Diamante along it.  The centre of the ribbon has a  pearl brad inside a large spacer and both  where bought at the GNPE craft show ... but they  are both from   The Hobby House

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

  5. Good morning Christina,
    Did you get withdrawal symptoms with there not being any flowers or your usual bits and bobs? You must have tried really hard to make this "plain" card. Did your "film crew" sit on your hands when you went to decorate it?This is a lovely card for those in our lives that are not fussy on all the lovely bits that see their way onto the card. Can't understand them myself somehow as a Christina in full bloom card is beautiful, stunning.
    Hope you have a great Christmas Christina and "film crew" with your family and have a wee bit relaxation time too. If you get offered a helping hand, take it and then you won't be too knackered to enjoy your time with them.
    Love and crafty hugs
