Christmas 1

Hello 

Thanks for visiting.  

I've made a start on my Christmas cards!  Yes I know I've already shared a few of the ones I made for some early Spellbinders Christmas releases but I also need to come up with cards that I can make more quickly  in larger numbers but that I still enjoy making and easy to vary a bit so I don't get bored!  They also need to be flat enough not to cost a fortune to send as our postal rates are
exhorbitant!  It's such a shame that people are sending les and less cards at Christmas - you know, the cards I send to, and recieve from some of those on my Christmas list are the only contact we have from year to year and its so sad to lose those few words of greeting, don't you think?

Anyway, that's my rant for the day over

I wanted to make and share a record of the card styles I'm making this year so I'll do that here on my blog and also on my Instagram dodah.

 

I usually make most of my cards with a smooth white cards, so this year I thought I'd try some coloured backgrounds by adding squares of coloured card to my cards

 

I've used various items from this year's Spellbinders range of goodies.

There are Glimmer hot foiling stamps, cutting dies from several collections, and the blue card has hot foiling done with one of the regular snowflake dies

On the blue card I used:

Snowflake Card Creator Etched Dies

 

Delicate Snowflakes Etched Dies

 

Christmas Die & Glimmer Sentiments Hot Foil Plate & Die Set from the Classic Christmas Collection

  

 

 

 

 

Here's a list of the sets used for the red cards
