It's time for another fun challenge over at The Christmas Kickstart and just look who has agreed to come on board as our elf for this one... Yes, it's the lovely Darnell, Queen of the Twofer and NBUS Challenges!
I'm thrilled to have Darnell 'elfing' for this fortnight. We had a great time emailing back and forth, pulling together the ideas for this challenge and decided it would be fun if everyone made 'Twofer' cards using the prompt CHRISTMAS TREE.
Challenge #16 - Christmas Card. Christmas Card.
Theme - Christmas Tree.
To make your card a 'Twofer', you should create two different design layouts when making your cards. My cards for this challenge use the same Hero Arts Christmas Tree stamp, but in very different ways.
I wanted to make two completely different cards and opted for a traditional card and a more modern one. Darnell was very specific that a twofer is not just the same card layout repeated in a different colour combo.
I'd like to add a sentiment to this card, but can't quite figure out where or how - ideas welcome, please!
My second card is very CAS. The Simon Says Stamp sentiment (Christmas) is a firm favourite. I knew I wanted a sans serif font for a modern feel to the card and this one works perfectly.
I hope that everyone will enjoy the challenge of creating TWO rather than ONE card for this fortnight's fun - just think, that's even more cards on the Christmas card pile!

Eek!! Now I am panicking that I haven't started my Christmas cards :-)
Love your 'twofer' idea.
It's great to see how you can create 2 fab, but very different cards, using that one stamp.

I absolutely love this idea, Jo! Sorry I missed the last challenge (I wanted to make an angel card, but just never got a good idea) but I'll definitely join in this time! Your cards are both beautiful, but I'm especially drawn to classy, CAS cards like the second one!
Jo, I love your guest elf, and this Twofer idea! Totally smart use of time to create two cards at once... your two are darling, and I love that sweet little collection of trees you have!
Fingers crossed to play! xx

Had to pop on over and say Hi Jo as I have not been to visit for such a long time. I can not believe you are already on challenge #16. Awesome!!
Just saw Darnells Twofer's *Fabulous* as always. You are putting me to shame with your Christmas Cards, love the simplicity of the second.
Have a super week and keep up the great work.
Creative wishes Tracey x
Nicely done - a perfect twofer pair of cards!
Gorgeous cards From you and I checked out Darnell's as well. A superb challenge. I will need to get my thinking cap on for this one.
Quite a challenge but you did a great job! Love both cards!
What a great tree stamp! Fabulously green in the first, and super classic in the second, love them both!
Beautiful Christmas tree twofers. Another fun challenge... I like that it’s the same occasion twofers. x
I enjoyed your photo of your Christmas Tree stamp collection!
Your cards are fabulous - yes totally different, even though you've also used spotty paper on both.
You could add a thin sentiment on the spotty paper at the bottom , I suppose, but it doesn't need a sentiment. If you received this in December I think the message would be quite clear!
