Christmas Wreaths and Bunnies.

Still looking over my shoulder and checking my phone and emails for alerts coming in for any more hacking. Surely 3 times  in two weeks is enough . I have certainly had enough!!  It has completely drained me and left me not feeling much like blogging at all to be honest.
It is time though for the girls in the Christmas Card Club to show our next  makes and Rita set the theme of Christmas Wreaths. I didn't feel like creating anything from my old christmas card stash but as I'm now woefully behind in my card numbers I had a look in my freebie christmas papers and found an assortment of wreaths so here they are made up into cards. Should have posted these this morning so apologies to Rita for being late but lighting was abysmal last night and not much better on today but needs must.

First 3 cards are all door wreaths which are by Hunkydory and a freebie paper set from Making Cards Dec 2015 called Traditional Christmas.

This first image had a black door and grey brick walling so was just crying out to have a black/white design paper added behind it. This was a Making Cards Freebie paper in their Christmas Papercraft Special 2017. I glued the paper door image onto a scrap of cardboard and when dry fussy cut along the die cut edge. Ran a gel marker pen around the outside  to soften the cut edge.  I made a card base from silver cardstock adhered the design paper and then attached the door image on top. The Noel sentiment was from the same printed sheet as the doors.

 I made the Second and Third door wreath cards  by again gluing the door image to cardboard and fussy cutting out. Again I ran a gel marker pen around the edges to soften.  This time I raised the door images up on 3D double sided tape for dimension. sentiments were from  more freebie papers. The red door has a digi design paper from Nitwits Christmas Too set  by Mary Fran called 'Square Russet' as the backing paper. The  green door uses a freebie paper from Making Cards Christmas Edition 2016 called 'Christmas Florals' as its backing paper.

  

 Next 3 cards are wreaths from a Making Cards Freebie magazine  Christmas Edition 2015.

Digi Design paper for this card is from Nitwits 'Christmas Linen Too' collection and called Stargreen.

The yellow tartan bow on this crd and the one below both cried out for a 'Moroccan  Gold card stock to be used with them.  The image and sentiment were glued to cardboard and then cut out and raised with 3D double sided tape for dimension.  The sentiment is from  a sheet in Making Cards Freebie Christmas Papercraft special 2017. 

On this next card I found the snippet of green cardstock in my odds box which I had previously die cut the scallop shape from and used on a previous project. It fitted the holly wreath image perfectly which I simply attached behind before  adhering to the digi design tartan paper from Nitwits 'Christmas Linen too' called appropriately 'Tartan Green'.  Sentiment was another freebie from the same papers above.  

 Last wreath card uses another digi paperr by Nitwits called 'Holly Red' from their Christmas Linen Too collection. Again glued  to cardboard but this time I rounded the edges with my Xcut Large corner chomper.  The sentiment is from another freebie sheet in the Making Cards Christmas Papercraft special 2017.

Now I was going to call it a day but suddenly realized April is a short month and I had not done a Rudolph  card or a card for a special challenge I had really wanted to enter earlier in the month which required a bunny to be on it. Whilst putting all the christmas papers away I spotted a Making Cards Freebie  November 2015 set of papers by Joanna Sheen/Susan Wheeler called 'Christmas in Holly Pond Hill'  so I quickly made up the next card to enter it into both of the challenges.
Card base is silver cardstock to which I adhered raspberry card to. The paper image is glued to cardboard and then cut to size. The sentiment is from the same set and given the same treatment . I raised the image and the sentiment up on 3D double sided tape for added dimension.  There were smaller images of the same picture in the set so I cut and adhered one on the inside of the card too.

Entering into the following challenges:
Scraps of Life By Scrappy Mo# April Rudolph challenge.
Crafty Nomad# It's a Bunny Hop. (Gail is celebrating her 50th Birthday).

I am slowly catching up with all your blogs and will be with you shortly.
