Snowflakes.

Apologies for this post going up late. The Doc had a phone call early  this morning to say that an  Aunt had died so I needed to sort a card out to be sent.
 It is the start of the New Year and it is time for the girls in the Christmas Card Club to get started on our swag for 2019.  Christine  has set the first theme which is snowflakes.
I had a search through my Christmas papers and found several snowflake designs plus some toppers and these cards are the result.
First two cards have design papers by LOTV from their 'Krafty Christmas' paper pad. The toppers were freebies in a magazine  late last year. The wooden snowflakes were in my stash. I finished round the edges with a silver glitter glue pen and on the snowflake.

Third card again uses a topper from the same set as previous two cards. The papers were freebies from the same magazine. The snowflakes have been in my stash for years. I purchased from Poundland I think in a large packet of assorted colours. These ones are pink (hence not been used) but they went perfectly with the colours in the design papers which just goes to show that if kept long enough you will find a use for it! Gems from my stash.

Fourth  card uses a freebie topper sheet from Making cards  December 2015 'Traditional Christmas' which I have teamed with some cardboard snowflake shapes from my stash. I coloured using a Nuvo Glitter Marker 'Imperial Blue' and when dry added a silver glitter glue over the top for good measure. They really do sparkle.

Fifth card uses a topper from the same set as the card above but this time I have made into an Easel Card. Additional snow flakes are white peel off stickers (from my stash of many years) which just have the number 121001/5204 on the back of the sheet. I believe they are Scandinavian origin.  Design paper is a magazine freebie from last year.  I adhered the circles to blank card and fussy cut finishing with my handy T.H. distress edger tool. Silver glitter glue enhanced  not only the circles but also the sticker snowflakes.

P.S.

I had intended to make six cards but I have managed to do something to my left shoulder so sitting at my desk for long periods is not very pleasant at the moment. Five had me knackered and I was going to take photos in the morning to include in this post but this mornings events decided  otherwise .
