It's still early to be creating Christmas cards but last year it was a major rush for me so I figured this was as good a time as any to start working on them... plus, this type of card worked for a couple of challenges.
Double Trouble has a challenge happening that requires a circle - whether the project itself is a circle or contains a circle, there must be a circle present.
They have also paired up with the Joy of Sets Challenge...
The Joy of Sets requires you to use one row, column or diagonal line when you create your project.
I chose the diagonal line containing:
Circle, Animal, Plaid
I haven't made a circular card in ages! I went to my trusty Cricut machine for the file. It was the animal component that made me decide to turn my card into a Christmas card. The best plaid paper I had was from an older paper pack called Jack - and it was red and black.
I used a deer head - and cut everything using glitter paper. The snowflakes sit behind the deer head and the word NOEL is in the forefront, added with foam tape. I placed a couple of sparkles inside the centre of the snowflakes as well.
Come and join the fun at Double Trouble and the Joy of Sets!

This is lovely - I've only ever made one circular card and it's time I made another - I love cards with reindeer and this looks so good against that plaid paper - thanks for joining us at #josttt008 - hope to see you again next month
Great creativity using all the glitter against your background Buffalo Plaid and circular card for Christmas...good idea to get ahead of your Christmas cards which I haven't been very good about either...you have inspired me. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble and please come back and maybe combine with our partner's TicTacToe board from Joy of Sets.
OMG you inspire me! What a beautiful card!!
Lovely card Alyson...I might have to see if I have any Jack papers left.
I love this card the red and black makes it really eye catching and the glittering accents just finish it perfectly. You've inspired me to start getting my Christmas stash out and get started on my own Christmas cards.Thanks for joining us and playing along with #JOSTTT008

Such a wonderful Christmas card!!! Love the plaid, the glittery deer and the circle card! Thanks for participating in the #JOSTTT008 double challenge! :)
Wow, Alyson, just wow! I never tire of plaid and I am loving that you created a round card with diagonal plaid. The glittery elements look fabulous against the red background. Thank you for playing along at Double Trouble Challenge.
