An abundance of cards...

Three cards on display today so I better not ramble on too much about any of them! My first card is made using that oh so cute stamp set from Your Next Stamp , our sponsors at The Pink Elephant this week. If you haven't had chance to enter our challenge yet do try over the weekend as the prizes are just gorgeous.

Now if you remember a certain member of the design team (me)wasn't paying attention when she read the details for the challenge and went a little bit wrong!! So to make amends (and have some fun) here is my second attempt with...

dots (cuttlebugged Swiss Dots), punches (circles and snowflakes) and tag (hiding under the ribbon)

The front of the card features the large penguin stamp and inside there is Fhiona pulling him on his sledge. Both the large penguin on the front and Fhiona are included in the stamp set with some snowflakes too, which I didn't get round to using on this card.

My card is also for the challenges at...

Pollycraft - spots and snowflakes (still working on the card that contains all five attributes!)
A Spoon Full of Sugar - Christmas
My Time to Craft - snow buddies
ABC Challenge - embossing

My next two cards have been made really quickly using Kanban materials. I've promised to help raise some cash for Sheffield Children's Hospital by selling some cards at a Christmas fair organised by a friend. So I need to get a bit of a production line going and mass produce - not me at all, but needs must!

Anyway first two done and dusted thanks to Kanban and also to Fab at Fab's Big Christmas Card Challenge. Gosh I hadn't realised until I went to his blog to collect the link that I have used exactly the same image and background as him for my cards - great minds think alike heh?

Fab's challenge this week is to use green and (if possible) to make more than one. Great idea for getting those cards done ready for Christmas. It's getting closer!!

Hope you like today's cards and thanks again for the really lovely comments being left for me. Have a fantastic weekend and see you Monday for the new Pink Elephant challenge. I will try to do it correctly this week.

Fabulous card Ann, love them all. The Kanban ones are great and obviously quick and easy which I need for some of my Christmas cards, I haven't got any of their stuff, never sure where or what to buy

Lovely cards as always Ann but I think the snow "couple" are really super. Was it a stamp or a sheet of images from Kanban. I also liked the cuttlebug swiss dots card, in fact they are all great.

luv

I know you said you needed to make some 'quick' cards but those two Christmas cards are just gorgeous. You shouldn't have let on.
