Last Minute Christmas at Sweet Stampin'


 Good morning, well here I am with my last post for 2020, and it's a 'last minute' Christmas card  for our last challenge at Sweet Stampin' this year. 

Despite making Christmas cards all year I still needed a few at the beginning of this week- most had already been posted (early and organised for me!) as I had a suspicion that the mail would struggle this Christmas- and I was right! We seem to be getting post about twice a week at the moment- most of it posted well over a week ago,  but to be fair I'm sure they're doing their best, I saw the parcel mountain on TV.

This card was quick to make- no colouring, just one of my beloved Penny Black deer stamps- so love this stamp, it comes out every year- embossed background (almost as old as the stamp- still a fave) some TH Sizzix die cuts and a bow. I liked how it came out so I made two!


I'm taking a break now until January so I'd like to wish each and every one of my lovely Blogging friends and followers a very happy Christmas -albeit very different from usual- and a happy and healthy 2021- let's hope it's a much better year for all of us.

I'd also like to say a heartfelt thank you for all the wonderful comments you have left for me, I. do read and appreciate each and every one of them.

See you in January

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Chris

A great EF and a super image and the foliage looks really great with the red and the gold bow.
So very sorry to hear about tier 4, it must be a nightmare for you, bad enough here on tier three, what have we done to deserve this. I haven'e even been to the hairdressers since March but quite a few hospital visits before Christmas, one includes the camera, something to look forward too, not.
Well I hope that you have the best Christmas that you can in these uncertain times. Will miss you.

Can see why you like the deer stamp and went and made two. I love the finished cards. We seem to be getting post every other day. I think they are splitting the round in half and doing on alternate days. Not a bad idea really. Hugs Mrs A.
