Catching up with 52 CCT

I have a lot of catching up to do after my holiday in America! I have missed three of the August challenges on 52 Christmas Card Throwdown! Determined to see it through to the end (!) I made four cards this morning. I know three are past challenges but I just had to do them!

Only having an hour to spare before going out I decided to only use two designs and quick, clean and simple cards. I am now up to date with 52CCT!

First up is this weeks current challenge:-


While on holiday I bought some stash from Papertrey Ink. Its so expensive to have delivered to the UK so I took the opportunity and had a parcel sent to the villa (it would be silly not to!) So I just had to use the die!

Using the same card design for the colour challenge of Silver & Gold, White & Cream:-



Then I decided to make small square cards for the next two challenges.

    so pleased to see all your other cards too - you really rocked the challenges. sounds like you had a great time here in the US. I can understand you taking advantage of ordering from Papertrey while here - I'm stocking up before we go back to the UK :)

  4. All such lovely cards, and it's not a bad idea to increase with 4 Christmas cards, it helps avoid the stress in November and December.
    I like how you used similar designs for the first two, it always amazes me how different a design can look by just a change of color!
