Red and White for Christmas

Hello, 
Today I am sharing a Christmas card that I actually made last year but haven't posted. Do you find that when you look back on things you like them better than when you made them? That happens to me a lot.  I came across this card and decided I really like it so I have no idea why it hasn't been shared before. I have just had a look back on my blog and see that I only posted one Christmas card last year, I suspect I ran out of time. This year I seem to be done earlier, but that is because everything has had to be posted.

Here it is:



This is the only Christmas embossing folder that I have (might have to do something about that) and it also featured in the card I made for the last squash it challenge. The bauble die is by Crafters Companion and the sentiment is Uniko.

I am sharing it at:
Let's Squash it #3 - use any embossing folder and dies or fussy cutting
Christmas Card Throwdown - pick a previous 2020 challenge. April - red and white
Allsorts - Got to be Christmas




Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

Hi Hilary,
Sometimes that happens to me, too but there are cards I don't like so much after a while. Especially christmascards I've made in january/february ...
This card of yours is very beautiful and I like the embossingfolder.

Beautiful colour combo with the sparkly red and white background.
I do find looking with fresh eyes gives you an opportunity to tweak or realise you like it XX

Lovely card Hilary - I really like embossing folders, they strike the perfect balance between simplicity and interest. I have quite a few, but they're underused, I don't know why I don't think of them more. The red peeping through your card is so festive. Thanks for playing along at 52CCT for December.

Your pretty card has a few of my favorite things: embossing, lots of white, and that gorgeous die - where has THAT been hiding???
Now, my question is - why hasn't it been sent? Someone would be so thrilled to receive it!

What a pretty bauble, Hilary! I love the shape and how the glitter peeks out! The embossed frame shows it off beautifully!
