FOSTV49 - Christmas Card

Happy Monday to you.  We are into Advent now and Christmas will be upon us before we know it.  I started writing our cards last night and I think I now have enough made - two of them are shown here as today's FOSTV challenge is Christmas cards.  We would love you to join our challenge and the prize set for one lucky entrant is Christmas Greetings.  It is a lovely set so worth getting your creative juices flowing for!


My 1st card uses the window from Enjoy the View, the tree from Tree Selections (I think) and the brick from Brick Wall Mini.  I used acetate for the window and embroidery silk plus gems on the tree.

My second card uses an embossing folder for the brick work, my Cricut for the stockings, a punch for the garland and MFP sets called Christmas Selections and Holly Jolly Greetings.  I hope you like these two.

Please check out the other FOSTV team members blogs and also the challenge on Friends of Speedy TV.  Have a great week.

MFP October Set - Enjoy the View

Sometimes living in the UK has its disadvantages and this week I was reminded of one of them - post takes longer to get here from the USA than you would like!  The stamps I have used on this card, well the window one, didn't get here in time for me to use it for the hop but it has now arrived so I am showing it off a bit late.  I have combined Enjoy the View with the set called Christmas in the Country, carefully positioning the window to hide the moose (we don't see many of them here!!!).  The robin (well almost a UK robin) and the poinsettias are from Christmas Selections. 

Today is one of those days when you are happy to be in the warm, with your loved ones, looking out on the wintry scene.  It is not snowing here, but it is up north, and even here it has turned cold and windy.  The damp in the air makes it cold.

The little photo on the wall is a scaled down digital image and the little frame is one of my original Spellbinders dies.  Thanks to Angie, one of my DT members for this idea.

The sentiment on my card is from All is Calm stamp set.

Thank you for checking this out.  Have a great weekend.
