Our design team have made some beautiful Christmas cards for your inspiration. If you have a spare moment, pop by their blogs for a visit. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Kathy Kirby at Purple Princess Diaries has made this gorgeous sparkling card.

Berina at Moxie Craftie Blog has combined stunning gilded embossing with beautiful stamped holly leaves.

Sam @ Whispers Cards had made this delightful swing card with adorable Penny Black hedgies.

Jane at Onions and Paper Blog has made this non traditional coloured card with a lovely Christmas greeting on the banner.

For my card this month, I have made another card  frommy Wellington Bear card kit. This image is not a decoupage...just a stand alone image of this cutie patootie bear!

Here is a peek at the inside of this card...

The script border is part of the image and so I simply used a snippet of red card to make a mat for it and mounted it an a background made up of three snippets of DP from that same Wellington kit package. I mounted the three DP onto a snippet of fairly thin white card  and then embossed that finished background mat with a Diamond design EF, using my Big Shot. That diamond pattern gives a sort of quilted look to my card background. Best of all, that embossing qualifies me to enter the Cuttlebug Mania Challenge were the theme is embossing.

I placed all those layers onto another larger snippet of red card which I then placed onto a scalloped 6 inch square card. 6 inch cards are hard to get locally, so this is from a precious package I brought home from England a few years ago.

I finished off with snippets of a silvery glittered Memory Box Snowflake border die.  A few gems in various sizes and this card was finished! Using up those snippets qualifies me to enter Di's challenge at  Pixies Crafty Workshop  where the theme is use snippets!

Good luck in the prize draw. The Rudolph Days Challenge  prize this month is a choice between this Evergreen Holiday Inkadinkadoo stamp

 or this Memory Box Twilight Snowflakes die.
