Christmas Crafts All Year 'Round ~ I, J is for ...

  Hello and welcome to this month's challenge at Christmas Crafts All Year 'Round.

Our challenge this month is E, F is for ...

I is for ... Ice Skating, Igloo, Ivy

J is for ... Joy, Jerusalem, Jingle Bells

Once again I made two cards for this challenge.  Starting with

I is for Ice Skating.

The layered image for this card is from a cutting sheet from Yvonne Creations called A Gift for Christmas.  The stitch pattern is from the Stitch & Do Kit no. 143. 

The three different layers are adhered to each other with 1mm foam squares.   This adds a little dimension but almost no bulk to the card.

This twisted easel card folds flat for mailing and fits into a 5.75" square envelope.

And ... J is for Jerusalem & Jesus

This gatefold card is a file from Dreaming Tree and was all cut using the Silhouette.

As you all know by now, my photographing skills are not the best, so forgive me for the glare.  The words are cut out of the same gold cardstock.

The starry background is a paper pattern from Silhouette. I thought it made a beautiful night sky for this beautiful manger scene.

I added an extra mat at the back and stamped the sentiment using a stamp from the the Festive Greetings stamp set by Creative Expressions.

This is a 7" x 5" card and fits, very snuggly, into a regular A9 envelope.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Now it's your turn to make a Christmas project,  and to come play along with us.  You have till the end of the month to link your project to our blog at Christmas Crafts All Year 'Round.
