My C-word card making went better this Sunday and I managed to make this little batch yesterday afternoon. A pretty good haul for me - I'm not the quickest crafter in the world!
I used the Cuttlebug mini Christmas motifs die and leftovers from the BG Wassail paper pad of last year.
To try and speed myself up I stuck full die-sized squares or the papers onto cereal packet squares then cut a full set of shapes from each. There are some motifs I'm not so keen on, but I was strict with myself and didn't go messing about only cutting the ones I wanted!
Yes, I really am that sad and would normally do that, just to save those teeny tiny pieces of paper!
On Saturday we drove up to the NEC in Birmingham to visit the "Grand Designs Live" exhibition. It was ok, but considerably less impressive than we'd thought it would be - it was smaller than expected and the things we'd really wanted to see were in short supply. We were really after some ideas for when we do our kitchen and there wasn't much of interest - and the stuff that was there wasn't very innovative/high tech/exciting at all, nothing like you see on the Grand Designs TV programme.
Still, it made a change, eh?
Hope you had a good weekend
Thanks for visiting
Well done Kathy on getting so many made, I love the holly embossing in the top picture.
ReplyDeleteahhh do I spy a little embossing there too??? I am always amazed that you make so many in one go Kathy :) They are all lovely & a great way to use up bits.
ReplyDeleteShame about the exhibition. I would have expected some really innovative stuff to see...don't think we will bother next time after all XXX
A really lovely set of cards Kathy. Keep up the good work :-) A x
ReplyDeleteLovely cards Kathy, you're really zooming on with those now.
ReplyDeleteShame about the show, I guess it needed Kevin Mcloud didn't it?!
Great cards, they all look fantastic and well done for being so brave not worrying about the little bits of paper :) TFS
ReplyDeleteGreat cards, love the holly embossing and well done on making yourself cut all the motifs rather than picking and choosing!
ReplyDeleteI like the 'holes' Kathy, very clever
ReplyDeleteLove the cards - I too have to stop myself faffing about with fave shapes...but more to get them used up thatn to prevent myself cutting them out!
ReplyDeleteThat is one serious production line Kathy and they're all fantastic!
