Christmas Kickstart has joined up with Darnell of the Twofer challenge this week - how could I not get involved?
Actually, I would have missed it if I hadn't taken a shoebox of craft stuff with me on my holiday in Wales. I had the most amazing craftroom at the top of our rented house, with a triple aspect view of the sea, mountains, village.. I made a couple of cards a day while the rest of the family slept - I'm always up hours before the others so this keeps me from being bored.
Edited to say: A few people asked me about the location of my holiday craftroom in Wales, ...it's Portmeirion.
For these cards the stamp I used was by Neat and Tangled. Both sentiments are from a Hero Arts set.
Here, I stamped and paper-pieced with some old magazine freebie paper.
I'd also like to enter this into:

For this one I stamped and embossed in white on craft, coloured the Christmas trees and added white gel pen.

Super cute trees. I love both ways you used them! Fun that you were able to pack enough supplies to craft while you were away.
So glad you took Christmas tree items with you! Two gorgeous cards, Marina. And what a beautiful place to craft! Where is this? It looks wonderful. Thanks for playing along at The Christmas Kickstart Challenge and enjoy your break, Jo x
I love that whimsical trio of trees and how you showcased it in such fun ways with your two designs, Marina! How cool that you happened to have it with you on your holiday and could join in our Kickstart/Twofer challenge! Thank you for sharing the photos of your amazing views from your holiday craft room! I'm not sure I would do anything more than stare out those windows at the stunning views!! Hugs, Darnell
Beautiful trees. Both cards are beautiful, Marina. Thanks for joining us in CCAYR challenge - Add a tree. We hope you will participate in our next challenge.
What a fantastic vacation craft room! Looks so cozy and with views to admire. One card is whimsical and fun, love the effect of the chevron patterned paper. The Kraft one feels warm and traditional. Two beautiful and different cards using the same stamp.
What a great holiday home and what great views.
Love the contemporary Christmas cards and the paper pieced one is extra special x.
Meant to say where are you in Wales? x
Love this tree trio - so simple and perfect, in their quiet winter scene! Beautiful job! Thanks so much for playing at Sparkles!
Gorgeous trio of trees used to make two different cards, I'm drawn to the one on kraft... it looks so pretty with the white embossing and the green x
Two super cards, Marina, I love the different ways you've used the tree stamp. Your holiday craft room looks wonderful.... and what a great view. xx
