Barn Star

 

Hello

welcome to my little crafting place!

I'd like to say my Christmas card-making is in full swing, but while I've started, the pace is more of a stutter than a swing. Still i gave it a bit of a kick start with  help of the lovely Barn Star Wreath die set.

For making a bunch of cards it's perfect - I spent a while cutting lots of the elements from the die set in differecnt colours and types of card.  I used shiny, textured, matte and glitter card, lots of gold and silver as well as my other favourite Christmas colours. 

I added a few more holly and pine stem dies from other die sets so I could cut lots of foliage at the same time,  I've quite a nice collection of poinsettia dies so I did the same with those. Then it was easy to put several cards together fairly quickly.

 

I buy most of my card, card blanks and envelopes from PDA Card and Craft - they may not be the cheapest, but the quality, variety and speedy service is second to none and I just adore these beautiful deep coloured creased card blanks. They make a fabulous backdrop for all the pretty bits!

The card was ledt plain on the first one but  I added a few spots of glitter (Glamour Dust) to the second and I think it was a mistake
