Babies 1st Christmas

Well, I’m a week behind again. This is a card I made for last week’s Craft Roulette challenge, and these are the parameters…

My belly band is a bit different. I added a rope band around the center panel. My cottage colours are a bit of a stretch, the wood and greens would be found in the trees, and the red and white could be a flag or tablecloth that could be found at a cottage. Santa is wearing a coat. I upcycled this card base, it was a card base left over from a class I taught over 10 years ago (I hang on to everything for ever) I also upcycled the thread I used, it was from a tag.

Oh Christmas Tree

Todays card pulls DOUBLE DUTY….. it is Design team challenge day AND it is my second Sneak peak card for Karen Burnistons December Release. The Design Team challenge was to have a Christmas stocking on the card, I chose to use the stocking border on the front as well as having them as ornaments on the tree.

It’s hard to tell in the photograph but I did use the brand new Raising PlatformPop up dieset. The tree top raises up outside the limits of the card when opened.

Peek-a-boo Elf card

Still having so much fun with the Stocking Pop Up die set. This time I used the mechanism to pop up this adorable elf playing peek-a-boo in the stack of Santas presents. As you open and close the card the elf peeks up over the present he is behind.
