Every CHNC challenge is 'anything goes as long as it's Christmas', which will, hopefully, encourage as many crafters as possible to join in with their festive creations. However, there will always be an optional theme, which this week is 'include a bear'. I want to stress that this is purely optional.

optional theme: include a bear

Every week I will be giving a prize to a randomly chosen winner - this is the prize for this challenge:

For my card I used a tag that was left over from a kit some years ago, upcycled pieces  from a book and some punched silver mirror snowflakes. You can read about this on here on My Crafty Outlook.

Every CHNC challenge is 'anything goes as long as it's Christmas', which will, hopefully, encourage as many crafters as possible to join in with their festive creations. However, there will always be an optional theme, which this week is 'use some silver'. I want to stress that this is purely optional.

optional theme: use some silver

Every week I will be giving a prize to a randomly chosen winner - this is the prize for this challenge:

Crafter's Companion

Flights of fancy unmounted rubber stamp

MAEVE

For my card I used an A5 card blank tent style. I used Hunkydory background card and coordinating topper, a 3D sparkly silver and white snowflake from The Works and a sentiment from stash. The strips of blue and white were offcuts from the edge of a previous card that I made for my CHNC challenge extra mid-month June inspiration, which I will show beneath this one. You can read about this on here on My Crafty Outlook.

So, this is the card I made for CHNC challenge extra mid-month inspiration for June, using similar items to the card shown above. You can read about it here on My Crafty Outlook and here on CHNC challenge extra (and, of course, you can enter your Christmas creations there too).

The above two cards were made when the supplies were out to make my card for CCAYR mid-month inspiration for June (I'm on the DT there) - you can read about it here and here - and we hope you will join in our challenge there:
