52 Christmas Card Crackers 2013

[Mystik Nat]

Here's the thread for you to share the Christmas cards you make in response to the main prompts of the 52 Cards Challenge 2013.

All the prompts for the challenge - past and present - can be found on my blog here.

Simply interpret the weekly prompts to make a Christmas card in addition to your main card for that week.

This is a great opportunity for anyone who needs the added push to get a good stockpile of cards created before December 2013 and so avoid mad panic and stress in the festive period... well, at least from a creative point of view! So make the most of sticking to that crafty resolution! It'll be hard at times, but focus on the end result!

If two cards a week is too much or you just want to concentrate on making Christmas cards for a few of the prompts, no problem. Whatever you manage is great.

I will be sharing any Christmas cards I make in response to prompts later in the week as I'm not sure I'll manage a Christmas card for every Monday - but it'll be nice to space out the crafting time.

Happy festive creating!

Just getting our Christmas crackers started... here's the card I made which included a little misadventure with some Mr Hueys - I wasn't expecting the "spray" to travel so far and splatter my keyboard! Oh well, it's all a learning curve!

Just popping in to say that I will be joining in with the Christmas card challenge as well. I try to have at least one day per month where I just make Christmas cards so it will be nice to use our weekly prompts for that.

For this card my something new is the '25' stamp.

Excellent! I'm hoping to see this thread filling up with a few Christmas cards as the weeks go on. I am certainly determined to try and make one in the same sitting as the card I make for the main challenge each week. But I think there will be times when I may need to nick the excellent idea I saw posted in the other thread of duplicating the design to make a Christmas card. Genius!

Here's my Christmas cracker card for week 2:



We shall see how long I can keep this pace up, at least with January weather it still feels a little Christmas-like....

Week 1 Christmas card. It doesn't follow the 'new' theme, but uses most of the same stash as my New Year card. It's a design I made last year and was one of my favourites, so I don't mind making a few more

[Mystik Nat]

That's lovely Fiona. Nice stamps too!

[daisychain888]

Fiona, that's a gorgeous card and I hope you don't mind me nicking that idea please?

I'm going to try and use the card prompts to make my family/special Christmas cards, I probably won't achieve it every week but even if it's just once a month by the end of the year I'll have enough ready

[angelfish]

Thankyou Jayne and Nat Of course I don't mind if you lift the design. I'm sure we'll all be getting inspiration from each other during this year

I made it in a blue and white colourway too

oh, I didn't realise there was a seperate thread for Christmas cards !
I have almost done this weeks challenge, will put the Christmas one here.

"But I think there will be times when I may need to nick the excellent idea I saw posted in the other thread of duplicating the design to make a Christmas card. Genius!"
Finally someone has recognised my genius, Thanks Nat !!

Love your card design Fiona, I too may steal that one week if thats OK

[Merion]

[alison 2]

[Mystik Nat]

My Christmas card based on week1 challenge. Lovely cards Anne and Fiona. I am going to have a go at more stamping, I keep buying stamps and never get round to using them.
