gifts ribbons and bows at christmas card club

 Hello there! Well September's nearly over - so glad I did Christmas card club again this year! Already go loads of cards made and now its time for our next theme which is gifts, ribbons and bows....I really wasn't sure about this theme - but then I remembered a die I bought last year and fished it out to play again. So 4 cards later and I'm really happy!


The die is from Tim Holtz and the background papers are from Lavinia - 


I first cut out the cards using a hexagonal die, then cut 4 elves, die cut and made up the parcels, die cut the merry word and finally cut a black mat and a slightly smaller hexagon out of papers. I am really pleased with these! Thanks for the theme!

My mum made one card - she used mini stamps from Clarity and a snowflake from penny black. Love the ribbon - perfect for the challenge mum!


Big hugs to you - hope you have a good day. Stay safe!

Hugs

  10. Fabulous cards Rachel, I love the hexagonal shape too, it makes a change from making square cards which I tend to just grab without thinking. I have this die too and although it has a lot of fiddly pieces it makes a really great Christmas Elf scene.

  12. The hexagon makes a great card shape and works perfectly for both yours and Gwen's cards. I must admit I had a struggle with gifts until I remembered the digi image and also found the LOTV topper. Take care. Christine x
