Dressed for Winter

I've been meaning to do this Crafty Templates Update all week - but the Time Thief stole in and pinched most of the week, yet again!

The Templates Set for November had a "dressed for Winter" feel, with lots of cute "Winter Pals" wearing their woolly hats and scarves to keep out the chill.  From these I chose the polar bear to make this card, and kept it really simple with a red, white and blue theme on a Kraft card base

Materials: Bazzill card in red, white blue and black, Tiny white button, Red and white Bakers Twine, Black brads, Black Enamel Accents

Tools:

Bear Template, Spellbinders Holey Scalloped Circles Dies

Craft Robo for greeting and plain red circle

Next I made a shaped card using the cute Snowman Template

Materials:

Snowman shaped card template, White, red, orange and black card, Black brads, Silver Stickles, White Ice Stickles, Red fibres, heart button and Bakers Twine, Sentiment home-made rub on

I thought the idea of a Garden Gnome wearing a Father Christmas suit was too cute not to use, so I made this card, giving the Santa Gnome a little flag to hold

Materials:

Santa Gnome Template, Red, White and Black card, Paper from Simple Stories 6x6 Christmas pad, Bakers Twine, Stickles; silver, red and white, Flag (Nikki Savills), Sentiment home-made rub on

The November templates are fab - and fun too! I love that they so adaptable for not just Christmas projects but  for other winter-themed things too.

I've not used a Goodies Kit this month, but as usual Leo has put together a lovely collections of goodies to help inspire for these templates and for other crafting projects too.

Back to the Christmas card making for me - why am I so bad at getting them done?
