About my project supply lists:
I only use and share products that I genuinely love. The product supply lists that accompany my projects are simply intended to provide a visual overview of what I've used in case you have the same items at home or would like to add them to your own shopping list. I link to several stores in the UK and US and as of July 1, 2017 I am an affiliate member of Scrapbook.com, Amazon UK, Ellen Hutson (store retiring), and (as of April 2022) The Greetery - this means that when you click on an affiliate link and go on to make a purchase I will receive a small percentage at no cost to you. Money raised through affiliate links will go straight towards my crafting fund. Finally, please note that any products marked "(r)" are retired and may no longer be available for sale online.

52 Cards challenge - Week 44

Hi everyone - and welcome to the first prompt of the proper countdown to Christmas!

Well, in my book when the clocks change back from British summer time, I know I really need to get a move on with my Christmas card production, such that it is!

So, this week I have a Pinterest inspired post to share. We're looking to folk-art, Nordic and rustic-inspired Christmas styles for this week's card.

If you're not making anything Christmas related, that's fine. :o) But try and feature something that ties in with this week's theme some how... say wooden embellishments, twine, felt or even the colours and patterns typically used in these styles.

Here are some pins to get you thinking:

And if you need a little more to get you started, here's the really simple card I made. I want to keep the colour palette neutral so the only pop of colour was the red felt I cut with my faithful Marianne die:

Paper: Basic Grey
Dies: Marianne, MFT
Stamp: PTI
Other: 3D foam

In fact I was rather inspired by the look of some lovely red felt coasters I bought last Christmas... it's always interesting just what can inspire a card eh?

Happy crafting!
