Another simple Christmas card design

Morning all.

Hope you are well, well better than me as I struggle to shake off a bout of 'flu which started on Boxing Day! I don't think I've felt this rough for a very long time!

So rather than make a card through the sniffles, coughing fits and shivers, I 'm sharing a card I made awhile ago which fits the new challenge at Cardz4Guyz.

BLUE IS THE COLOUR

A simple blue base card with letters die cut from a scrap of stenciled card and mounted on fun foam and a couple of silver die cut snowflakes to finish.

Brand Ambassador Inspiration at Uniko

Morning folks, I'm up over at the Uniko blog with another Brand Ambassador inspiration post and this card.

All the details can be found here.

I hope you've all had a fabulous Christmas and Santa brought youlots of crafting goodies. Hopefully this period between Christmas and New Year, one droll Radio 1 DJ naming it Twixtmas, is a quiet time and you get a chance to play with them!

Merry Christmas

Just popping by before I forget to wish you all in blogland a very Merry Christmas by sharing this card with you.

I have two very excited Grandsons here at the moment who can't wait for presents around the tree tomorrow morning! 

Hope Santa brings you some fab crafting goodies.

Yet Another One Layer Christmas Card

Good morning all.

I hope the weather is a bit better than it is here right now. It was foggy first thing and it hasn't really lifted.  There is a stiff breeze so walking the dog this morning was not particularly pleasant, cold, icy, foggy and breezy!

Just popping by to share a OL card I made for overseas posting, I always forget until I start to write them that OL is best for the purpose. It also fits with the new challenges at CASology and ATCAS.

I made a similar card a few Christmases ago and as I was in a rush to get it posted, I decided to CASE it!

I started by using a mask I'd made for this card  that I'd kept for just this event.

I stamped the branch from Altenew's Vintage Flowers, adding some extra twigs with a black fine liner. The lantern is the top of a lamp post stamp that I've had for years from Flowersoft, the bottom masked off and then stamped in black and coloured with Copics to create the hanging lantern. 

Using some Chipped Saphire and Blueprint sketch DI, I inked in the sky leaving a pale halo around the lantern, which I filled using Mustard Seed and Dried Marigold DI. To finish I added some snow to the sky, branches and lantern, with a gel pen, as my masking fluid had turned into a rubber ball in the bottle!

Removing the mask, I added the sentiment from Uniko, job done.

PAS CAS - Celebrate

Evening all.
Hope you're well on the way to having all your Christmas prep done but if you have a little time over the next few weeks why not join in our brand new challenge at Perfectly CAS.
Can you guess the theme from my card?

What did you guess? The actual theme is -

Did you get it right?

I used some strip stamps from Uniko's Background Builders Christmas and Christmas 2018 to make a panel of card from which I die cut theses letters.
The red base panel was first stamped tone on tone with red, then dark green and finally Versamark and white EP. I added a few gold lines with a pen and ruler. Last year I made a card from a panel made in a similar way so you can see what the original panel looked like here.
When I had die cut the letters using an Altenew's alphabet set, I added them to an off-white base card, adding the stamped Uniko greeting in black. I kept the die cut happy to the middle third of the card this time to ensure it was a CAS design!
