Two cards today - and maybe more to come - oh my! ...

My first cards to show today are for the new challenge over at Bah! Humbug!  where this week the theme is Less is More!  Oh my goodness a tricky one for me as I like to put lots on a card and find 'white space' quite unnerving, but hey I did my best!

Little need for explanation on this card.  It was so easy - just a Cuttlebug embossed border mounted on turquoise glitter card and then attached to card.  Then a Cuttlebug die glitter snowflake with gemstone centre was added to the border.  A silver peel off greeting finishes the card.  Very, very easy to make and I suppose if I wanted to make a batch of cards this one would be ideal.

My second card features Santa again.  I eventually found the wall background paper by Kanban that I really wanted to use for last week's challenge.  As I had some stamped and coloured images left I decided to make the card anyway.  Think it still counts as a 'Less is more' card as there are very few extras on it.  The 'Santa was here' stamp was part of a Studio G set that I've had ages and it seemed like the perfect sentiment to stamp on the wall.  Naughty Santa spraying graffiti like that - he'll find himself on the Naughty list!

I wanted a little extra sparkle around the sentiment so added some Stickles which for some reason looks green - strange I must treat myself to some more colours.  I've heard a rumour today that you can get black stickles oooooooooh wow that is definitely on the wish list.

When making both my cards I also had the following challenges in mind...

• Die Cut Dreams Christmas Club - Arctic Winter
• Daring Card Makers - Ice and Snow (ends today but I might just make it)
• Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge - Christmas in July

I will be back later with exciting news and my card as Guest Designer at Crafty Ann's where there is a great challenge starting today.  Have to rush out now to my mum's as she is having a new boiler fitted.  Oh I am not looking forward to this at all it will confuse her completely.  Got to be done though as the old one has given up the ghost.
Hope you all have a fun day.
