Christmas animals

Hello everyone. In Australia, the month of November has already begun, which means that Beccy's month of holiday cards linkup has started. It's always a great way to boost my Christmas card making.

This card was inspired by a recent challenge at Jingle Belles, where we were invited to CASE a card made by either Stephanie or Lauren. I was inspired by the card below that Stephanie created in 2023.

I pretty much copied her design, but changed the colour scheme, and opted for a horizontally striped pattern insteadnof the diagonal stripes. I also decided to stamp my sentiment on the middle panel and added gold peel-off stickers to add definition to my middle panel.

I'm linking up my cards at:

Christmas piglet

I have one more card to share with you today. I found these strips of patterned paper (Studio Light) in the package with the papers and tags. I had cut them previously for a particular layout but couldn't remember what that layout was, so I decided to layer them and create a new design. I fussy-cut the jar with the pigles and popped it up using a scrap of cardstock behind it. I decided to use up a bunch of left-over stamped and die-cut sentiments (SSS) to finish off my card.

Double embossing

Hello everyone. I used double embossing on this card. I first ran my panel through my die-cutting machine with a very old Cuttlebug EF (Swiss dots) and then ran it through again using this poinsettia  EF by Sizzix. I added some ink blending on the flowers and matted my panel with black before adhering it to my card base. I finished off my card with a stamped and die cut sentiment.
