Christmas cards, of course...

I actually managed to get my cards made and posted before the deadline this year! Must be a first...

Christmas cards are a bit stressful, as you have to make so many. It doesn't help that I always seem to leave it 'til the last minute! I had a go at some small (7.7cm x 7.7cm) cards, to speed up the process. They still seemed to take a while, though! Here are some snaps of them - please excuse the messy desk!

I also got a new Indigo Blu snowflakes stamp which I had to try out. I embossed the image with clear embossing powder and used ink dusters to add the blue & purple inked background:

Using a plain digi tree and 2 snowflake punches, I made some Christmas Tree cards:

And finally I thought I'd better use the beautiful trees stamps I borrowed from Crafty Distraction AGES ago (sorry!), so I had a go at some snow scenes:

I also couldn't resist making a couple of cards with a festive photo of my beautiful girls, Emily & Darwin:

More Fairies!

Hiya!

I'm so pleased that I made a few cards in the last couple of days, I'm over-blogging today, to try to make up for not posting for ages...

Here's a fairy card - I love fairies!

I'm entering this one in a couple of challenges:

Lexi's Creations - 'A Card for a Child'

Top Tip Tuesday - 'One for the Kids'

And here's another fairy card, using one of my favourite images from Sweet Pea Stamps:

I love blues and soft browns together, and am entering this card in the Sweet Pea Stampers 'Favourite Colours' challenge.

On the subject of fairies, I saw a link on  Coldwaters2's blog for some lovely fairy / pixie stamps here:

I might need to start making up a Christmas Wish List.
