Christmas Card Club Challenge #2

Hello everyone.  I've been lucky enough to be invited to join in with the challenges at the Christmas Card Club which is made up of some lovely ladies (see details to the right) who wanted to make Christmas cards throughout the year.  I definitely need an impetus otherwise I end up panicing at the last minute - so here is my card for my first challenge which is "Cooking up a storm - anything to do with food".


I actually don't have much in the way of Christmas food but came across this cute Forever Friends stamp of teddies making the Christmas cake.  I stamped in Memento black ink and coloured with Flexmarkers.  Die cuts are Spellbinders Labels 28 and I've used Papermania b/p from my stash.  The sentiment is computer generated.  The felt holly flowers were a freebie gift in with a recent order from someone in America.  I've added a couple of pompoms to the hats and some Stickles glitter across the fur borders.

Hazel over at Craftyhazelnuts (fabulous name for a blog!!!) also has a Christmas card challenge on which runs for the month of January so I am entering my card into that as well.

Thanks so much for popping by - I really enjoy reading all your comments.

Happy crafting.

    Afternoon Karen, gorgeous card, your colouring is wonderful (am jealous lol). I love the background papers and the ways you've used the die cuts is amazing!
    I've finally remembered to follow you - sorry I've been a bit rough and having internet/provider issues right now! Welcome to our little group xx

    This is lovely! I like the way you used that same die and turned it each way...brilliant idea. It is so effective on your card.

    Karen, this is such an adorable image, and so perfect for the challenge theme. I was scrambling to find something to fit, and ended with a digi. I nearly chose a gingerbread man that I have, & see from some of the other entries, I'd have been in good company. Love all the dp & bright colors you chose for the S/B mats. Very eye-catching. Great card. TFS & Hugs

    Brilliant card for a foodie theme Karen. I think the idea of those little bears making their Christmas pudding is lovely - bet they all had a stir and a wish!
