Christmas is Nearly Here! :)

Hi there, hope you have all had a lovely weekend, no doubt sorting all those last minute bits for Christmas :) I think i'm just about sorted, so time to relax! :)

I'm here to show you some more Christmas creations that I should have already blogged but haven't!

Firstly, this card:

A very simple card but something a bit different for me! I have made this card using 'Christmas Tags' from Little Claire's, stamped onto papers from Craft Creations and inked with pale blue ink. I have used twine, ribbon, lace and pearls from my stash to complete the card. I have stamped snowflakes in pale brown ink onto the Kraft card blank, although they don't show up in the photo!

For this card I have used the Christmas Tags, along with the cute 'Penguin Stuart', both from Little Claire's. I have coloured the image with ProMarkers and cut it out with Nestabilities. Again the papers are from Craft Creations and the edges are inked with pale blue ink. Pearls from my stash :) 

I would like to enter my cards in the following challenges:
