Gifts

Time once again for the girls in

the Christmas Card club to show 

their creations. 

It was the turn of Zoe to set the theme

and her choice was Gifts.

This sent me scuttling  back off again 

 to my box of  used Christmas card fronts as I knew 

that I had at least one suitable card in there .

Actually I found 2 and as they were

completely different styles decided to go 

for it again and make them both up.

1st off is the Traditional one.

The old card had so much on it that it didn't

need me to do much to it.

I used a cream card blank and adhered a 

Design Paper by Kaisercraft 

(in rolled gold leafy swirl pattern)

to it, then simply trimmed the card front down 

and for neatness (also so that  you can still see a bit of the

paper showing) rounded two of the corners 

using my Xcut chomper tool.

I added a piece of gold ric rac braid down the 

card fold side and Bob's your Uncle  a done deal!

My 2nd card is a Whimsical one.

The card front appealed to my sense of humour.

I think it had been sent to one of the kids a long

time ago and I just kept it in the maybe one day pile.

Well today is the day!

I made a tent card shape as it lent itself to the card

being an oblong,

I first stuck the card to a piece of white card stock

to make it more sturdy and then distressed the edges

with my handy distressing tool from TH.

I then adhered this to green card stock and in turn

to a sheet of red cardstock folding and sticking edges together

 as shown below to make the tent fold shape.

I used platinum Stickles on the branches,

tree and snow on house to add a bit of sparkle.

Sentiment was a gold peel off sticker and pearls/bow 

from my stash.

So which one do you like the most ? 

Traditional or Whimsical.
