Blogmas Day 19

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to Blogmas Day 19…

I have been busy making christmas cards and projects all weekend so that I can schedule something in for every day next week to allow me to get organised in the christmas shopping department 😉

This is a set of four 4″ x 4″ cards, each one the same but slightly different in one way or another..

Supplies List :-

• White Cardstock for the base
• First Edition Christmas Promise 8×8 Patterned paper stack
• Stampin Up Pink Glittered Cardstock
• Circle Die
• Tree Die (from Hobbycraft)
• Seasons Greeting Stamp is from Clearly Besotted Stamps
• Memento Tuxedo Black Ink
• Double Sided Tape and Double Sided Foam tape

I think Card No. 3 is my favourie out of the ones I made 🙂

These have already been written out and popped in envelopes ready to deliver tomorrow … I am getting there slowly but surely 🙂 I need to make myself a promise to be more organised next year

Thank you for popping round, and I will see you tomorrow for Day 20!

Blogmas Day 17

Hi everyone and welcome to Blogmas day 17…

Apologies in advance for the late posting today, It was my work’s Christmas party last night and I am loaded with a stinking cold,no hangover tho 😉

Today, I hauled myself up to my shed to get cracking with making my Christmas Cards for family, friends, neighbours and work colleagues ..

I based it on a design I have already made but turned it into a 6×6 card, there is nothing better than recieving a good quality handmade card

So the card base measures 6″ x 6″ and the white inner layer is 4″ x 4″ then the dark grey layer is 3 7/8″ x 3 7/8″ and the patterned paper is 3 3/4″ x 3 3/4″

I have a ton of stuff still to do and I am hoping to get it all done tomorrow, because I have not started my Christmas shopping yet and time is ticking on 😀

See you tomorrow!

Sarah

It’s the most wonderful time of the year

Hi everyone,

Happy Sunday to you all!

The weather here today is absolutely miserable, it is a right old Winnie the Pooh day… blustery & wet

I used the following materials and tools to complete this card :-

• Thick White cardstock card size is 5″x 5″
• cuttlebug
• Dienamics Star Stax Dies
• Lil inker Designs Stitched Square Frames Die Set
• Glitter Cardstock
• and the Merry & Bright sentiment stamp from the Clearly Besotted Set the Scene stamp set
• Versafine Onyx Black Ink
• Double sided Dimensional adhesive tape plus a little bit of matte medium to help the tape stick to the glittered cardstock.

As always, thanks for popping round, and I will see you soon with another card

Thanks
