The theme at Simon Says Stamp challenge is "Christmas in August". I'm really in the mood for making Christmas cards at the moment, so I've made not one, but two cards to enter into the challenge. Can you spot the difference?
I've used tree stamps from a Hero Arts clear stamp set called "Merry Christmas Trees" cl459 and a sentiment from a Penny Black clear stamp set called "Christmas Critters" 30-006. The background stamp on the first card is from Hero Arts and is called "Large Canvas Stripes" S5433 (oh, there are so many Hero Arts background stamps on my wish list, they're so versatile).
The paper piecing uses papers from a Dovecraft paper pack called "Let it Snow". I'm not convinced that the colours are very Christmassy, but I don't mind.
Thank you for visiting my blog. Hugs and best wishes, Clare xx

Clare these cards are gorgeous. I like the kraft cardstock paired with the green trees.
Hi Clare, please ignore and delete my previous comment...my pop up boxes got a bit muddled lol! Duh it is Monday lol! Your card is such an elegant design and I love the green with the kraft, really shows the colours off well...I'm off to hide in a hole now! :) Donna x

Love the clean and simple lines of these two cards Clare! The papers are really pretty and I'm loving the shade of green with the brown Kraft paper!
