About Me

Welcome to my blog

I started this blog in April 2012 so I could join Challenges. I am now on some design teams. I hope you like my cards. I started stamping in 1995 but my cards are still mostly cute.
Thank you to those who have joined as followers and to those who comment.

Christmas Card Club 1 - use kraft card somewhere

It was Kate's turn to pick the theme for the Christmas Card Club this fortnight and she picked use kraft card somewhere


I had some old kraft card in the draw so I cut a piece and embossed it with Creative Expressions Shimmering Stars embossing folder.
Added left over piece of pattern paper from Christmas Basics paper pad.
Printed coloured Santa and Reindeer and sentiment from the latest free set from Digital Scrapbooking Studio - Twas the Night.   Cut out and layered on top.
Layered all onto red card.

If you would like to see the cards by the other members of the Christmas Club their blogs are listed down the side of my blog.

I followed the January sketch at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown so I would like to add my card to that challenge

Hello Margaret, Using the embossing folder on the kraft card and then picking the stars out on the design paper was a brilliant idea. Wishing you a safe and healthy 2021. hugs Mrs A.
