My Christmas Card Efforts for 2015

Sharing my Christmas card efforts for this year .

I managed to make everyone on my Card list  Handmade cards.

This embossing folder & stamps were free on 

Simple Cards & Paper-craft Magazine no 142

I made several cards like this for friends & neighbours

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then this beautiful Poinsettia embossing folder was 

also free on Card Making & Paper-craft Magazine no 148 .

I coloured the flowers with chalk pastel's and cut the flower with my Silhouette 

machine . 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Card group swap theme was  " Victorian Christmas card "

Isn't this image beautiful a real Victorian image 

The Christmas Greetings sentiment was

embossed &  die cut using a new Sizzix set .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As was this background .

Here is another beautiful  Victorian image .

 This Green is my favourite colour.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was pleased with the free stuff from the magazines . 

as sometimes the  free bees are disappointing 

but not this time .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wishing You All 

& 

Happy New Year 

2016
