Over last weekend I managed to make some more Christmas cards to cope with the fact that I simple do not have time to make them in mid-November. Reality is, I'll be travelling to Kuala Lumpur, Dubai and Australia in November and December, plus at the beginning of January we'll be moving to Dubai! And I haven't started any packing yet! And I'm still not freaking out. That is remarkable.
So here are the three cards I made - as always I do not put too many elements on the card to maintain a simple visual balance, and they are actually simple to make. I also put two of these cards in the challenges. These are my first ever challenges! Oh and it's simply a joy just to view so many other beautiful cards listed there.
- CAS-ual Fridays challenge!
Tools used: Cuttlebug and embossing folder, Spellbinder dies, and Martha Steward doily punch
Distressed Style
Tools used: no special tools required except Croc-A-Dile to punch the little holes. I did distress the panel a bit to make it look a bit vintage but not too much.
I also put this card in Sparkle Creations' Christmas Card Challenge!

I put the card on a photo frame so it shows the washi tape lining on both sides. And as usual you can see the lacking of my photo-shooting skill.
And there's still more card to make... BTW I just got my first order from my friend, who needs a birthday card for her sister-in-law, and it has to be finished today. And off I go to make more cards - hey ho!
