Lots of Layers

Time for the girls in the Christmas Card Club to show your latest cards. Lorraine set the theme and has asked for Lots of Layers.  Life has been rather hectic this week with the start of the Front  Garden  Landscaping started so have resorted to using the Graphic 45 sets of christmas elements that I recently purchased. I have managed to make 4 cards using different elements and stickers to mix and match and am quite pleased with the results. See what you think. 

Card 1.
Made using a traditional tent fold layering up red and green card stock for the card and decorating the inside of the card to match.




Card 2.
Made using one of my much loved card shapes a  Joy Fold Card. Lots of different elements used to decorate with and raised up with 3d pads for more dimension and to make the closure tab. 




Card 3.
Another Joy Fold card and this time mixing and matching the red and green card stock with white.




Card 4.
Not my usual selection of elements I would go for but I do have a male recipient in mind to receive it.  I added gold sticker edging strips just to finish as I thought it looked a  bit too CAS otherwise. for the look I was wanting.  



The garden project is coming along but we are now at a stand still waiting a a replacement ton of gravel to arrive. It should have been here Friday but when they were loading the bag onto the the delivery lorry at the transport depot  the bottom of the bag split open and they lost the lot!! A replacement bag has been promised for next Thursday. My landscaper is not best pleased as he can't get on and do anymore until it arrives. 

Hugs
and 
Stay safe and well.
Leave the race to the beach for someone else.

    Gorgeous cards! I bet you're almost running round the walls with that gravel holdup - but at least it didn't split at your end. Ooopsie! Keep calm and carry on.

    I am impressed with the variety and beauty of your cards, and the fact that you were able to bring yourself to cut into your Graphic 45 papers! I just tend to hoard mine..which defeats the purpose of buying it to begin with. Love the Joy Fold cards especially.
    How inconvenient to have lost time with that gravel spilling onto the ground but all I can think of is how much trouble it was for them to shovel it all up!
