Christmas Card Club. Challenge 9 Theme : Wreaths

Well, here we are again and another two weeks have gone by. Where has the year gone. Anyway, Today it is my turn to choose the theme and I'd like to see some Wreaths or anything else you may prefer.  For this challenge I have created three cards, yes three, all showing wreaths.  The first one was a 3D folder in gold then matted and layered with red and bottle green card. The sentiment was from Cardio and with the addition of a red seam binding bow my first card was complete. The second one was using a beautiful die from Sue Wilson cut in Gold and layered on to a wine background. the stamp was a freebie from a magazine that I coloured with Pro-markers and enhanced with a gold bow and some peel off corners.  My third card was done with Cardio poinsettia stamps, holly and cones and finished off with a silver organza ribbon and a few little stones to finish it off.  I do hope you all enjoyed my choice as much as I did making my cards. Looking forward to seeing what my other colleagues have done.  Lovely spring weather in Scotland at the moment and long may it continue too.  Enjoy your Sunday folks.   Hugs Rita xxx

Christmas Card Club Challenge 8. Poinsettias or Greenery

Good Afternoon Everyone.  Sorry I was a bit late with my card this time around. It was chosen by our Lovely member Mary H and she asked that the theme be Poinsettias or Christmas greenery. As I dont have access to my craft stuff at the moment due to house improvements going on. So this is one of my new 3D embossing folders from Crafters Companion and it was to hand so i did not have much choice but to use it.  It is a beautiful folder and embosses a treat so Mary I hoppe you like my card.  I have viewed and commented on all the members cards and they are all very stunning.  Sending Love and Hugs to you All and to my dedicated followers who have stayed by my side in the last few months.  Rita xxxxxx

Wedding Invitations

Hi Everyone. Please dont think I'm neglecting you all. I have been very busy with Family things and will be for most of this year I think. I started with sample wedding invitations and now the special one has been chosen by my first Grand-Daughter Louise to be married next February this is her chosen theme.  Julie her sister gets married in August 2019 and has not chosen her style yet.  I am also bag sewing and knitting too mostly in the evenings.  We are having new triple glazed windows put in this Friday, so hopefully I get my CCC card scheduled before then, if not it will be late.  Change in the weather today after a very warm and sunny day yesterday. Enjoy your week.  Hugs Rita xxx

Christmas Card Club Challenge 7. Christmas Animals

Happy Easter Sunday to Each and Everyone of You.   So once again we have a new challenge here at the Christmas Card Club and the theme this time has been chosen by my lovely friend and colleague the lovely Kate and she would like to see Animals.
Well Kate I hope you will like my card as I have so many friends/family living abroad I thought I should do a really Scottish theme and what can be more friendly at Christmas are these two lovely Scotty Dogs.all curled up together by the fire..  This card was mostly matting and layering apart from the gold edging that was done with my trusty Pen-Touch gold pen.  The sentiment was done on the computer  So enjoy this Easter weekend and try and refrain from eating too many eggs.. I am having to clear my craft desk before having new windows put in on Friday 13th April, so I will have to do my card for the next challenge before then as my craft desk is on the window wall, so lots of packing to be done before then.  Happy Days.   Till next time.  Hugs Rita xxxxx
