A Christmas card for CDAC 10.

Afternoon all,

I have had a rather crafty weekend and been working hard at developing a few templates for Easel cards. I had never done these before and thought it was about time I tried one as well. I started rather conservatively with one from Craftsuprint that I got some years ago as a freebie. That is the one below.

This was a very easy, print, cut and stick together one with a decoupage image. So, a quick Christmas card ticked of this year's list again.

Following this, as is not that unusual for me, lol, I went a little over the top. I decided that now that I knew how they basically work it would not be that difficult for me to actually design an Easelcard with a shape I would enjoy. I used my own 'Blue Christmas' papers for these Easelcard sheets. They are easy to use, print, cut out and stick together, then add your chosen image and further embellishments.

Here is a collection of the different sheets I designed (I did say I went a little over the top, lol).

I must admit that took most of my Saturday and Sunday after the housework. At least I managed to get my first card using one of these sheets for one of my Christmas cards for 2012. I am going to enter this one into the challenge (10) at   CDAC progressive freebie challenge.

I have used an image from Bugaboo Digi Stamps.

And here is the card I created, hope you like it. I have also used a sentiment from Ginger's House.

I will also be entering these cards (especially the bottom one) at  Christmas Cards All Year Round challenge.

Enjoy the rest of the week and keep a look out for our next challenge at CRAFT Challenge tomorrow.

First Christmas card of 2010. Promised myself to start earlier this year.

Good afternoon everyone,

I have just been playing a bit again and made a total of 5 Christmas cards, quickies really, the first ones of 2010.

Here is my first one. A blue basecard with 2 punched shapes (scalloped rectangle and circle nestibilities) and a 3D decoupage image mounted onto one of them. A cute cat sleeping under a lamp. I found this cute image at Monica's 3D sheets. Here are a few views of the card, with a close up of the 3D image at the end.

Hope you like the card, it is very simple, but the image is really cute.
