We have a spanking new router which was set up by the engineer when he came today. Hopefully this will be the end of all our troubles. Fingers and toes crossed.
I'm a day late for this post but wanted to get it in before I post the new Butterfly challenge up on Wednesday as it is scheduled now for that day.
It was time once again for the girls in the Christmas Card Club to show our latest cards. Rita chose the theme of Santa. Whilst having a sort out in my craft room I found a wooden stamp that I hadn't used before and another that I had only used once and as they were both Santa stamps thought they would be ideal to use here .
The 1st card uses a wooden stamp by Creative Expressions HH140 H. I stamped in versamark ink and then using black embossing powder. Coloured in using red and green promarker pens. The card base was already semi created and had been put in my stash when not used on a previous project so I simply die cut the santa image using the same size oval and then slightly moved them apart to create the shadow effect. The sentiment is by Imagination crafts.
Last card is a stamp by La Blanche which depicts a really old Santa image. I stamped using red distress ink, then trimmed around the image using my TH distressing tool. The Noel sentiment was part of a sheet of all different ones which came free in a magazine. I trimmed down, glued to a backing piece of card and distressed around the edges to match the santa image. The design paper was another magazine freebie which I distressed the edges of before attaching to an olive green piece of cardstock made into the base card. The red/green bakers twine was from my stash.

Welcome back lovely Lady, lets hope this is finally the end to all your internet problems.

Three wonderful makes, so glad you are up and running, hopefully no more problems!
I love both of those Santa images. The first one is really unique. I really like the framing of the second card and the paper. I also like the frayed look on the red Santa. I know how happy you must be to have the internet back. It is such a pain to not know when it works and when it doesn't.
Two brilliant stamp images and three lovely cards, Valery. I like the quirkiness of the first two Santas - the huge sweater looks cosy enough for Polar weather - and the distressed edges round the third enhances the vintage look. xx
I am loving Santa's big jumper!! So cosy! Beautiful cards Valery. You are going to be so organised!!
