Die Cuts for the CCC!

 Hello Everyone, I hope you are all having a good weekend so far and that your weather is better than ours, it's been raining stair rods for the last couple of days and so dark too, my lights have been on all day, horrible.

Anyhoo, it's time for our last Christmas Card Challenge for the CCC, and this time Shaz has asked for us to use Die Cuts, or of course there is the option of Anything Goes.

Here is what I've come up with;


Once again it's a pants photo, but I've used this lovely Snowflake die and matted on to Glitter paper and added a dazzler to it's center. I embossed the sentiment and added a wee gem.


This is one of the inner parts of the same die with another dazzler at the centre. Simple cards.


Another Magnes and Mya card, I just adore these dies, I've embellished it with the Christmas Rose die and Festive Berries. Mattered on to LOTV snowflake paper and red card, absolutely loads of sparkle and a few gems.

Thank you so much Shaz for choosing this theme I really did enjoy it. 

Well this is the last challenge for this year, and it was good to get ahead of the game by having all my cards made well in advance of the Big Day. I've even got enough to give to Moreen my DIL.

It's a great way to ensure that you have your cards made well ahead, so if you would like to join our merry little band, so let me know and we will get you started. I'ts fun and no pressure and saves stress in the lead up to Christmas.

I'm scheduling this post for tomorrow for when the challenge goes live, so I''l love you and leave you, with a Big thank you to everyone who left such lovely comments on my last card, always appreciated.

Take care everyone and enjoy your weekend,

Three beautiful cards Kate, and great use of the positive and negative diecuts of the snowflake. LOVE the last card, I have never seen about the Magnes and Mya brand, perhaps in Europe there isn't... but it's really a shame, such fabulous die!

Hi Kate. Three absolute beauties. Love how you have used the positive and negative die cuts. So clever. I thought it had been darker this year but I think its probably because we are inside so much. Everything has to be done by about 2.30 p.m. or its too late!! LOL! Take care, Sending hugs, Flo xx
