Blue and White Christmas



This week Hazel asks that we use a die cut for her Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge. I have used two; a Cuttlebug wonky frame and a Sissix banner.  I have 'cuttled' the white card, the tree, snowflake and sentiment are from a sheet of Magenta peel-offs, and the spotty paper is from my stash, from a printout I have labelled "Funky Fairy Christmas Download". I don't think Funky Fairy as I knew it in the past still exists, as I followed the link in a previous post about a card using this paper and I was taken to a German blog with the same address. I have two printers and both are suffering from the same complaint; clogged up magenta print heads. I think the ink supplier I use may have had a bad batch! I can remove the Canon print head to clean it, but despite my best efforts it will only print with half of the jets, so anything that requires magenta comes out with interesting stripes, hence I am unable to print blue, or even try out the lovely kraft paper download I won from the Funky Hand Challenge. Nevertheless, I have used the sketch from 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown and made a card that also works for the Blue and White Challenges over at Winter Wonderland and Crafting for all Seasons.

  9. I love blue and white Christmas cards and this is fab! I love the dotty embossing and your added snowflake!
    Printers (or any machine come to that) can be so frustrating - hope you get it sorted soon!
