Christmas Baubles.

Time once more for the girls in the Christmas Card Club

to show our makes. The theme this time is 

'Christmas Baubles 'and was set by Margaret.

A delve into my used christmas card stash 

and I found this ready made bauble design.

It was only small at 2.75 x 4.00 but  I thought

it could work.

The base is a cream card blank which I have 

adhered a slightly smaller sized card stock to.

It is a lovely rolled gold  shimmer with sparkle

embed into it. The sentiment is gold stickers

which I have placed around the top edge.

I got the idea for this from Di's post   where 

she has used a corner stamp. Apparently

there is also a Christmas one out now

but till I can get my paws on it stickers 

will have to suffice!!

Then I turned to my Christmas stash of 

dies, stamps, stickers, papers and embossing folders

to see what I could use.

I'm running around like a headless chicken 

at the moment as my blog has been over run by monkeys

and trying to keep up with their exploits is a full time job.

So I needed to find something quick and easy to use.

I found my hidden Art pad of LOTV  images 

that I was coveting for a rainy day but decided

needs must. There were two bauble designs.

I used a green card base and adhered a slightly smaller

square of red pearlised  Glitter card to the front.

I trimmed the image down slightly and used a Fiskars

fancy border punch on the two outside corners.

I couldn't get a better picture than this but you 

can just about see the silver sticker sentiment and motifs.

Iv'e used green card stock top make the base card

which is tent style with the base  concertina folded and glued

so that the card stands securely but folds flat for sending.

Used more of the red glitter card and a slightly darker green card stock 

layered up . Top layer is die cut using Crafts-Too Stitch hole

rectangle die PCD98.

LOTV image has been glued behind before assembling

The corner pieces are the fallout from the fiskars punch used above.

I needed 4 so punched a further 2 from a scrap of white card.  

Sentiment is silver stickers form my stash.

O'h the cheek of it. Norm has just said can I please hurry

up and get this posted as he needs to sort his photos out and 

write his 5pm post up!!!
