Merry Christmas...

I really love making Christmas cards and it doesn't matter how much Christmas stash I have I can't resist adding to my collection.  All the stamps used to make this Christmas card were bought  on the wonderful Facebook group Craft Declutter.  In theory you clear out the stash you no longer want and gain some money.  In practice you sell one or two things and actually buy loads, but it is fun.
Today's Christmas card is a gatefold one and it was quite hard to take a decent photo of as it just wouldn't lie flat.  Here's another view of the card stood up...

I've even stamped the inner - getting really carried away these days.

Materials used...

• Black card and silver grey paper
• Indigo Blu snowflake border and sentiment stamp
• Wild Rose Studio clear snowflake stamp
• Snippets of black and silver mirri card for matting and layering
• Circle and scalloped edge die
• Clear gem stones 

Challenges...

• Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge - use a few of your favourite things - mine being snowflake stamps and clear gemstones
• IndigoBlu Blog Challenge - Christmas in July
• Winter Wonderland - Anything goes for Christmas
• Pixie's Snippet Playground - use your snippets (my black and silver for the matting and layering were all out of snippet's drawer)

Thank you so much for looking and commenting.  It was fantastic to see two new followers.  Welcome to you both.  Hope you like today's crafting and I will be popping over to your blog to see what you have been creating too.
