John Next Door and Spellbinders Christmas card



Hello everyone and welcome.

You probably heard that the fabulous Kylie Purtell has decided to have a break from running all her challenges, and I will definitely miss her. I don't know how Kylie managed to juggle everything and work full time as well, but it wouldn't surprise me if she is the secret Wonderwoman in disguise.

Luckily, my lovely teammate, Sue has taken over ATSM so we can continue to have some fun each fortnight, but do bear with us in case there are any teething problems.

 For our first challenge, we have 



and I came up with this card:-



The card consists entirely of die cuts and would be easy to mass-produce. I used my new John Next Door  Leaping Stag Circle that I cut in white and kraft card and layered up.

The sentiment uses the Spellbinders Stylish Merry Christmas die which I cut from a textured red mirror card and layered onto white.
I added a few dots of red crystal drops and called it done - I told you it was quick!



You'll find some fabulous inspiration from the Design Team over on the ATSM blog and you can enter your creations over there too.

I'd like to play along at





Thanks for stopping by,
Hugs

This is beautiful, Carol! I love the way you have showcased the dies and that pop of red mirror card makes your design even more special! Our whole cardmaking corner of Blogworld will miss the talented and generous Kylie who worked so hard to inspire all of us with her challenges for many years. Mwah to Sue and all of you on the DTs for continuing her legacy! Hugs, Darnell

Oh how clever and appealing! What a brilliant way to combine that fab new die set with your existing stash of goodies! (I actually have that die and you've inspired me to use it in a NEW way!) So happy you could join our Jingle Belles fun this fortnight!

I've not seen that JND die before, it's wonderful, I love how you used it with the Spellbinders die (which I have). Thanks also for sharing with us at Allsorts challenge.

Fabulous card Carol...I like the kraft and white together ad your red pop in the middle really draws the eye in. I too have the JND dies...we must have similar tastes :) Thanks for the inspiration! xx

Quick but absolutely stunning Carol! Love that intricate stag wreath die and it works so well with that bold sentiment die. Kraft, red and white is such a great classic colour combo too. I'll really miss Wonder Woman (aka Kylie!) in Blogland too, but am really pleased Sue has stepped up to the plate for ATSM, bless her. Vicky x
