It is Mary's turn to choose the theme for the Christmas Card Club girls to make our next cards with. Mary has given us Nativity. A quick look through my used christmas card box turned nothing up but I did find a blank card front with just a little bit of border on top and bottom which combined with some gold stickers gave me my first card.
I have made an acetate fronted card and sandwiched the card/image in between thus making a 3 page card. Some gold stickers down the spine and the negative left over from already using the sentiment cut into a stip and added to the front of the acetate.
My second card uses Stickeroos from their sticker sheet 'Christmas at Dusk.'
Striped paper is from a paper pack I picked up at the NEC last year by First Edition News. I used my Xcut Oval nesting dies to die cut an oval slightly larger than the 3 Kings image and decorated it with gems from my stash along with the two banners. I felt this was all the card needed.
The design paper is a freebie from Making cards Dec 2015 'Traditional Christmas'. There was enough of the sheet left to decorate the inside of the card and I used another stamp from the nativity set as well. I added a large pearl to the snowflake from my stash.

Lovely cards Mrs A. I am a bit late visiting some of the Rudolph challengers, but I am glad I came to you. I do like Christmas cards that portray the real Christmas story, as all of your do. I think I like the middle one best, but they are all great. Kate x
Terrific cards Mrs A. I do agree with you about the Time Thief. It was suddenly Sunday and I had missed Saturday altogether and had to post my card today! Hugs Christine xx
Thanks for entering your lovely crafting for CHNC challenge 331 - hope to see you again soon x
You have been busy and I like all 4 of these great cards!
Lia xx
All three of these are wonderful and each one so different! From traditional to contemporary and all done with your usual flair! You are right, time does seem to disappear! Hugs. xxx
Lovely cards Mrs A. and well done on making 3. I agree with you about the time thief - I just don't know how he does it.
Hugs, Avril xx
Oh wow, these are just amazing. Totally with you about the time stealer! How did it get to be May already! Cara x
Wow, wow, wow! I love every single card, Mrs. A! The first one is so classy, the second perfectly uses the Stickeroo (a favorite) & the 3rd is lovely & modern--very inspiring! By the way, thought maybe my lilac wasn't going to be fragrant, but now it's almost fully opened & the smell is heavenly!
Back with out my challenge hat on...
My goodness, you made so many lovely cards. My faves are the one with the fabulous corner sentiment and the stickeroos card. I can never make the stickeroos look any more than just that. you have made them look so fabulous!
Of course the first card is so lovely, and golden, and glitzy. It is so very beautiful.
The last card has that beauty that comes with simplicity...that wee lamb is precious!
Beautiful cards Mrs A, I'm very impressed you've made a start on Christmas cards already, The gold and white card is my favourite, it such an elegant design and the silhouettes are lovely :) Donna ♥ x
Time really is going quickly Mrs A. I agree with you. Your cards are gorgeous! Michelle x
Stunning selection of cards Valery. You'll be more than ready for Christmas making this many. Zx
Hi Mrs A,
I agree someone is definitely stealing time as it takes me so long to do things now, and time seems to speed up each passing day.
wonderful creations, and such really great designs.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
They are all beautiful cards but I really love the Oriental look of the second one. I think time goes faster as you get older - it certainly seems to in my case...Lol!!
Thank you for joining us at Fab'n Funky.
