Hello Everyone, I hope you are all fine and enjoying the weekend.
It's time once again for the Christmas Card Club to show off their creations and it's my lovely friend Rita who has chosen the theme of Sentiment as Focus, here's what I've come up with;
Another The Works die, cuts beautifully, I cut it in gold and red and them attempted to shadow them.....not all that great, but hey ho, matted on to black card and added some gem.
All very simple so I hope they will do Rita, a lovely challenge, so thank you for the theme.
Having said that, the challenge for me these days is in making a card at all, I leave them till the last minute then rush, and then of course make mistakes.
Anyway, that's another few for the box.
Thank you for your continued visits and comments I do appreciate your time.
Pouring rain today, so it's an indoor day, getting a few chores done and a bit of colouring and knitting.
Enjoy your day whatever you are doing, keep yourselves safe, and don't forget to have a look at what the other CCC girls make,

Hi, Kate! So good hearing from you. I always enjoy your comments, so thank you for visiting my blog. LOVE these darling CAS Christmas cards! How clever to use different traditional colors on each one, and to use words so creatively. I've never heard of THE WORKS, so am going to look them up. Great additions to your Christmas stash! Thanks for sharing these beauties for some much needed inspiration on my end. hugs, de

These are fabulous Kate, lovely simple cards and who would have known about the last HO, it's still beautiful. xx
We haven’t had rain for a while now. Gorgeous day yesterday, in for a hot couple of days unfortunately then back to normal temps. Your cards are lovely. Great use of sentiments.
I love that the focal point is the sentiment on these, so different but very effective, I am the same leave it until last minute and rush and mess it up, I think its the time we are in at the moment, hugs Pops x

I love your Christmas sentiments being the focus of your cards, sometimes we forget that words mean so much. Stay safe xx
Hi Kate, lovely selection of cards.I do like to have a browse in The Works, they always have some smashing crafting stuff. I think the 'shadow' worked really well. Snap on the leaving things till the last minute, lol. I forgot to add ribbon to mine for that exact reason. Hugs, Shaz X
Ah these are all super makes I love the sentiment being the focus. Hope alls well, have a good week, Hazelxx
Hi Kate and thank you for your recent comment. In answer to your question, The Butterfly Tree is the full, complete stamp. I bought it a short while ago while it was on a special offer as a single stamp for £5 but it was part of a multiple stamp sheet too. I've just had a look through the CB shop and can't find it either, so I've left a message with the owner Lesley and I'll get back to you again once I have an answer from her. Crafty hugs, Sandra x
Me again Kate. She says that if you would like it as a single stamp, then you would need to ring her at the shop as it's no longer available from the online shop. If you want to take a look at the stamp sheet, then it's called 'Essence Of Nature.' Hope this information helps Kate. It is such a beautiful stamp and I couldn't resist buying it as a single stamp. It's perfect for thinking of you or sympathy cards without being too over the top. You don't need to publish this comment, I just wanted to let you know. Enjoy the rest of your day and I hope it's a sunny one xx
Hi there Kate, three fabulous cards. Clean, simple and very
effective. All three cards fit the challenge perfectly. Not
sure I could decide which of the three I like best, as they are
all lovely lol! Have a good week.
Hugs Jennifer xx.
Your three sentiments cards look fabulous Kate and didn't notice the missing colouring on your first card. All three have wonderful design layouts too x.
Fantastic cards Kate.
Hugs Pam x
Oh Kate, 3 beauties here! I love the classic looks to them and how christmasy they are with such bold happy greetings. These would be so pretty for the holidays to decorate the home! I love indoor days as long as I can craft,
:) Hugs!

Hi Kate
What a great set of Christmas cards. You have some beautiful word dies and have used them perfectly.
I have picked up a few dies from The Works and they all cut really well.
Hope your weather has improved.
Love Jules xx
What a great selection of stylish cards x
wow these are brilliant Kate - lovely selection! Hugs rachel x
Three lovely cards with beautiful dies! I have the die you used in the second one, thanks for remind it, I have to use it more!
Hugs
These three large focal image sentiments look great Kate, and all so different. I particularly love the white 'Joy' on blue and the paper works beautifully in the background. I do however love the fun sentiment on the first, and the last is very elegant in red and gold on the black card. x
