For this card I used an image from the Norwegian fb group "Digistamp".
I fussy cut it and glued it to a dark red panel,
which I first scored twice on both sides to get some texture.
The two white lines and the Norwegian Christmas greeting
were made with a white pen.

I continue my use of old materials for tags. Love upcycling! These tags are made from a package for clothing. There are so many packages we can recycle in our time! And small pieces of them can be used for tags. Today I made some Christmas gift tags, but later on I will make some for birthday presents.
I used:
Tag die: Spellbinders.
Image: Beccy.
Stabilo markers for the edges.

After the active month of November, I was a bit fed up with crafting. But now I start again, and today with a blue accordion card. I used only images for this card, and I decorated both sides of it. Most images are from Beccy, only the angel is from a french vintage painting.

This will be the last card from me to this year's wonderful Holiday Challenge.

Today I made a traditional Christmas basket to hang on the tree. You can put a little sweet in it if you want.
Now it was not easy for my old fingers to make it. But such baskets reminds me of my childhood's Christmases back home in Norway. So I try to make one or two of them each year.
I used:
Red and gold papers. On this photo the red looks a bit lighter than it really is.
Marianne Design die.

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.
