Surrounded By Angels

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.

 Beccy's Place Day 29 Z: zzzzzzz (I think he was snoring)

Christmas Card With Scandinavian Christmas Baskets

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.

Patterned paper: Craft Sensations. Red and yellow and creme papers. Gold glitter.

 White card stock. Marbled paper: Sigel. Green scraps. Red and green pens (Stabilo), silver glitter glue.  Foliage punch: Atelier Terziev, corner punch: EK Success. Stamp: Ricoh.

Merry Little Christmas

Christmas Window Card

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.

Embossing folder: Darice "Crackled". Die: From Elizabeth "Accordion" die set.

They Had To Flee

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.

The second one is another photo of the same card I showed yesterday. Here I used the negative die cut for a card I want to keep here at home. The negative is too good only to throw away!

Flukten til Egypt

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.

Envelopes For Gift Tags

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.

Paper for the envelopes: Bringmann. Dies: Beccy and Free dearie Dolls. Die: WeR Memory Keepers Nesting Card.

Here are 20 of the tags I made with Marianne Design Tag die:

Tools: Cuttlebug and WeR Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Bord.
