Finally also I arrived to the last letter in Beccy's Holiday Card Challenge: Z. Now I think I have got all of them! And for the last theme "Make what you will", I can say: that is what I have done every day! Such a wonderful crafting month! Well, I think my choice for this letter, - perhaps it is not "holy" enough? But I think that also Baby Jesus was snoring in his crib, just like other babies do.
For this card I used:
Creme and white card stock. Patterned paper: Maja Design. Image: Beccy. Spellbinders Scalloped Oval die. Corner punch: EK Success. Gold glitter. Brown distress ink and pen.

As I was a little girl home in Norway, and also as I was a teacher there, we every Advent used to make the traditional Christmas baskets for the tree. Here on this card they are in a simpler form. The basket die is from Marianne Design. Circle die: Spellbinders. Corner punch: EK Success. Text written on computer.
The traditional way is to cut the paper with the scissors. For small fingers it was always difficult to get the parts together.

The image on this card is taken from a vintage Christmas gift paper. Well, the paper is new, but the image is old.
I used white card stock for the card and for the panel.
I glued the image to the card. Then I die cut the window and embossed the card stock. Glued the embossed card stock on the card and made an "icy" frame with glitter glue.

As I used this (for me new) die from Nellie Snellen, the story about the Holy Family who had to flee from Herodes to Egypt, made me again think of how Jesus has been and still is hated by many people. My prayer is that we this Christmas time will open our hearts for Him. He is the answer for our world. Not as a little sweet child from the Bible history. But as our Saviour.
****
I used white card stock and black paper. Marbled paper: Sigel. The red "frame" is a leftover form an accordion card die I used last week. Unfortunately I got some glue on the red paper, so I had to hide it with glitter glue.
Die: Nellie Snellen "Nativity". Scraps from Elizabeth "Accordion card" die cut.

Dette er en negativ av en Nellie Snellen die. Jeg syntes den var for fin til å kaste, så jeg lagde et bilde jeg vil ha selv. Da jeg lagde dette i går kveld, talte det til meg. Allerede som baby ble Jesus forfulgt. Her var det Herodes som ville drepe ham, og Josef og Maria måtte flykte med barnet. Også i dag er det mange som hater ham som er verdens Frelser. Eller iallfall er de likegyldige til ham. Måtte denne julen gjøre oss våkne for budskapet han har å gi!
Jeg brukte et hvitt dobbel-kort, svart papir, Nellie Snellen "Nativity" die og Cuttlebug.

This year I want to send gift tags as a little Advent present for some of my friends. That is the reason why I am making lots of gift tags out of paper boxes, more than we need ourselves. (Recycling. 👍)
We had planned to go to Norway for Christmas. It would have been the first time since 16 years to celebrate Christmas with my family! I have my children and grandchildren there. But then came a well known disease and stopped all our plans. Well, we, - as all other people around the world, have to do the best out of this situation.
Now I make envelopes for the tags. An envelope with some tags within will be sent together with the Christmas card. Here are two of the envelopes I made with my Envelope Punch Bord. More are to come. 😉 They are a bit great for these tags, but I hope the persons who get them will use them also for other tags.
Tools: Cuttlebug and WeR Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Bord.

I love this digi, which I bought from Beccy's store some days ago. Here I have used it on a CAS Christmas card. The sentiment is a stamp from Ricoh. Blue distress ink and silver pen for the edges, silver pen also on the letters to give them depth. The blue scrap paper is a bit structured. I don't know from whom it is.

I made three tags again, this time with Beccy's image "Silver Bell". Tag die: Marianne Design. Patterned paper: Sigel. The tags are from a recycled package. Silver and blue distress ink and pen.

These gift tags are made of a package for night wear. Such a big package gives lots of tags! And I cannot eat ice cream all day to get materials for recycled tags! 😂
Again I used the tag die from Marianne. Both images are from Beccy. The sentiments are written on computer and roughly torn. Blue distress ink and blue pen on the blue tags, brown distress ink and green pen on the poinsettia skate tag. The patterned papers are from Sigel (marbled) and one unknown.

Yesterday I had no opportunity to make cards. Due to the strong Covid restrictions to gather in Churches, I did not join my husband to the services the last weeks. But for yesterday he had asked me to sing a song in every one of the three services he held. It was a special day, thinking of the dear ones who had died since the last Sunday of Church year one year ago. Otherwise there is only one service per Sunday. To give place for everyone who wanted to come, there were three of them yesterday. I sung three different songs, accompanying myself on the guitar. And people were thankful.
Well, today I am crafting again. Here is the first card, showing a vintage winter scene.
I used: White card stock, red and green scraps.
Embossing folder: Darice. Dies: Spellbinders Oval and poinsettia. Gold glitter.

I made this Christmas card without any extra layer but the die cuts.
The card is a dark blue double card. The die cuts are made from a white card stock. Dies: Nellie Snellen "Reindeer" and Spellbinders "Star". I hand drew the tree and the border with a silver pen. I decided to have no sentiment on the card at this time. It depends on what language I want to have, Norwegian, English or German.

With a Marianne Design tag die I cut two tags from an ice cream package. (Once again 😄) The same I did with the marbled paper from Sigel. I glued the patterned paper on the tag. The angels are made with a punch (Heyda). Both the marbled paper and the red paper for the angels are scraps. The Christmas Greeting was written on computer and roughly torn. Brown distress ink, red pen and "gold" glitter (stars) finished the tags.
