First batch of Christmas cards!


If you get to the 3rd December and you still haven't made
any Christmas cards its not good!

So quicky's it's going to have to be this year.
So this is the first batch - 28 cards in total
made yesterday.


I decided to have a go with gilding flakes
after seeing a demo on Create and Craft.
I had tried these in the past with not much luck,
think I didn't have the right adhesive!


Kraft card blanks, Free ivy leaf stamp from magazine ,
Crafty Notions gilding flakes,
papers all magazine freebies-
cut with punches,
Ribbons from stash,
Majestic cardio tiny Christmas stamps,
Sentiment stamp,
inkpads and pen to doodle,

I'd like to share this with
Allsorts - going round in circles

  3. These are amazing, Claire. You must have had sparks flying from your fingers yesterday. I love the very understated gilding flakes, just beautiful.
    I haven't made a start on mine yet either, no it's definitely not good. Guess what my job from Tuesday onwards is once I've got rid of some DT work.
    Thanks for your lovely comments. You could do my nails anytime!!! My school fayre went well. Came away with a small profit so always a good sign and plenty went to the school too so really pleased.
    Have you got snow yet? It's been freezing here but just rainy, perfect crafting weather.
    Have a good week.
    Hugs Lisax
