All strung up – First Posted: Thursday, December 10, 2009

Todays card is a string of cards card.

I had great fun making this card, I used a card hanging set with mini pegs which I picked up at my local pound shop and made tiny cards using any small Christmas-y stamps I could find, I addad some gems and gold edged ribbon to add to the Christmasy feel.

Yes, I’m starting to feel festive, I even made it watching Christmas films!

Glittery Bauble Card – First Posted: Wednesday, December 09, 2009

Black isn’t a colour that automatically comes to mind when thinking about Christmas cards but it’s nice to experiment.

This is a variation of an earlier bauble card I made. This time I covered the circles with glitter and added a snowflake with a brad to each and stamped a swirl design to the top of my black card stock which I embossed with silver embossing powder. I punched 2 small holes in the swirl area and threaded my silver cord through and attached on the back of the baubles to make them look like they are dangling.

Santas Sack digi stamp – First Posted: Tuesday, December 08, 2009

I printed off my digi, coloured it in with markers and cut round it. My gift card holder is made from a strip of white card measuring 8.25″ x 2.75″ which I scored at 1.5 inches from one end and 3 inches from the other. I covered all 3 outer sides with some free printable background paper which I found here, I added 2 brads to hold the gift card in place and added a ribbon tie in a nice bright pink, easy peasy!
