Christmas Challenge Card

Just a flying visit to enter this Christmas card into my lovely buddies
Totally Papercrafts challenge this week Christmas

Also for lovely Tara's  St Luke's Charity Challenge Christmas

VERY traditonal for Mandi, but, I have done in loads of other colourways too!




I like to stamp off the page, or in the case around the back of the card. Just held the card base flat and re folded once stamped. These are Craftwork Cards. Superb quality.





Materials used:
Penny Black, Winter Bough
Stazon, Forest Green
Stampin Up Decorative Label Punch
Touches of Glamour Dust
Red gems

Feel free to contact me for Stampin Up products


Sarita inspired me to dig out this similar stamp. I'm a very poor relation in comparison!


Thanks for stopping by

I love the delicacy of this card. And it's so creative to wrap around. I stamp off the edge all the the time but it has never occurred to me to go the backside - it is such a special touch!

Cheers, Karen

I love this Mandi! It has a traditional feel but with twists like the way the stamping carries onto the back of the card. Thanks for pointing out that I had forgotten to link my card for LiM... I needed reminding of my name this morning! Vx
