Happy Christmas

As Christmas is imminent now is the time to thank you for your support and interest in my blog, and to wish you all a very happy Christmas, and a safe, healthy and happy new year.  I will be giving this blog a little rest for a while but will be back and hopefully able to show you some of my previous Christmas cards.  It's interesting to see how styles change and my style has improved, but until then here is this year's Christmas card to share.

It's in Cherry Cobbler, a lovely shade of red, embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper folder and embellished with the Snow Flurry die with Glimmer paper, Crumb Cake and Cherry Cobbler.  The greeting is the Heart of Christmas stamp we received at the Heartfelt Event.  Underneath the greeting I have stamped snowflakes from the Snow Swirled set in VersaMark, obviously not visible in the photograph. 

Enjoy your holiday break and enjoy the company of family and friends. 

 

Quick Christmas cards

Here are a couple of very quick Christmas cards made recently using a borrowed Snow Swirled set and some leftovers from the Ornament Keepsakes set.                        

The greeting stamp is the Heart of Christmas stamp which we received as our Christmas present when we attended the Heartfelt Stamping Event recently.   

Ornaments card

This is a card I cased from one I found on the internet using the Ornament Keepsakes set.  Again, non-traditional Christmas colours but black and white is so elegant.  

A bit early for Christmas?

Is it too early for Christmas cards?  I always say I am going to start planning and making my cards earlier in the year, but even this is too early for me.  

My sister is currently on a caravanning holiday around most of Australia and before she left she loaned me one of her stamp sets that I have always admired.  The set is "Snow Swirled" and I have held off buying it because we don't have snow at Christmas.  I am always harping on to my friends about not having snow and winter themed Christmas cards - they must get sick of me saying it.  So these actually aren't snowflakes, they are dust mites.  That makes me feel better.  

Colours used are Lucky Limeade, Marina Mist and Crumb Cake.  I might add a pearl or diamonte to each dust mite for a bit extra sparkle.
