Once Upon A Christmas - Merry Christmas

This is another Christmas Card made with the 'Once Upon A Christmas II' cd-rom from Creative Crafting World.  The images on this cd-rom are beautiful.

I embossed an 8 x 8 card blank from Creative Crafting World with a Crafters' Companion embossing folder.  I matted the main image and the sentiment onto a matt gold card, also from CCW.  I decoupaged the baubles using just 1mm foam pads as this card will be going in the post.

Once Upon A Christmas - For A Special Friend

A new challenge is underway over at the CD Sunday Challenge and this time the theme is 'Christmas'.  This is a really good way to encourage me to make more Christmas cards as I am behind with this task as always!  Here is my card:

I embossed an 8 x 8 card blank using my favourite winter themed embossing folder from Crafters' Companion. 

Image printed from Once Upon A Christmas Volume 2 DVD-rom from Creative Crafting World.  I decoupaged the image and the baubles and printed the bow from the disc too.

Matt gold card from Papermill.  Sentiment die-cut using a Crafters' Companion sentiment die.

Wishing You A Very Merry Christmas

I would like to wish a very Merry Christmas to all my blogging friends.  I hope you have a lovely time over the festive season.

I've made a card using the gorgeous Once Upon A Christmas 2 cd-rom from Creative Crafting World.  A beautiful image which perfectly depicts the true meaning of Christmas:

The image, bow, baubles, sentiment and backing paper are all printed from the cd-rom.  I used antique gold card for my matting and embossed the base card using my favourite embossing folder from Crafters' Companion.

'Twas The Night Before Christmas

This is the Christmas Card I made to send to some very good friends of ours.  I used Creative Crafting Worlds cd-rom Once Upon A Christmas 2 which contains the most beautiful artwork and reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas.

I love how in this image all the animals are stood close by the stable, waiting for news of the birth of Jesus.
