ABC Christmas 'M' for Mail Challenge

Oh my goodness !! did you know that there are only 182 days left to Christmas !!  better get a wiggle on if we're gonna be ready in time eh !! :-)
I must admit, it does feel a bit strange swatting off the mosquitos while writing up a Christmas post,,, being eaten alive I am ,,,  but it is nice to have a boxful of cards ready and no last minute rush :-)

The theme for then next couple of weeks on the ABC Christmas Challenge is

'M' for Mail 
(of course it must be Christmas too ,,, don't forget that bit ;-))


As you can see I made a card and coordinating envelope ,,, makes it that bit extra special :-)


I have used this Simon's Exclusive Layered Tree die so many times, one of my all time faves ,, so easy and so effective, great for mass production ! :-)

I  used a Simon's Exclusive Postage Stamp Die to cut the paper and  a falling stars stencil together with some embossing paste, coloured with distress ink and I added some glitter bead gel too ,,, lovely and sparkly IRL.

I must admit ,,, I quite like this one ,,,,, 


Thanks for looking :-) I hope you will join in with the challenge ,,, the more the merrier and all that ;-)

Just noticed I have a few flowers that need dead heading ,,,, lol  oops :-)

Challenges:
Everybody Art ,,,, Postage Stamp
Sparkles Christmas Forum ,,, Fave Colour Combo ,,, I do love Kraft and Blue together
Holly Jolly Christmas ,,, Show Me Some Glitter ( Glitter Card)
Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas ,, Anything Christmas




Hope you all have a great week :-)
Happy Crafting
Luv Lols x x x

Oh I can see why you love that die, would be great for mass producing some quick cards. Great job on this card, and the envelope too.
thanks for sharing with us at Holly Jolly Christmas.
