Another Christmas card in the stash for next December and fewer leftovers cluttering up my desk. Another card created from the remains of last year’s card making.

Paint & stitch tree
Another paint and stitch card; this time it's a tree for my brother. The biggest difference with this one is that the design is completely my own.
Stitch Club: beaded rust
A fabric collage created with paint, ink, beads and sequins. Inspired by rust, urban decay and the inconsequential, overlooked details in the environment.
Pink snowflake trees
It's never too soon to start on next year's Christmas cards, especially if you can use up some of last year's leftovers in the process.
Paint & stitch bunny
Bunnies are a recurring theme in my card making, so it was only a matter of time before one turned up in paint and stitch form.
Stitch Club: wrapped horsehair initial
I knew that I would be trying things that I hadn't tried before when I joined Stitch Club, but I never imagined that I would be buying horsehair and wrapping it in thread.
Paint & stitch shell
I shall be spending January tidying up after 2024, and that includes writing up projects from last year. The first of those is this floral shell paint & stitch card.
Christmas mouse with holly
And this is the last of 2024's Christmas cards. I found this cute mouse digi stamp, got out my Copic markers, and coloured it specially for my mum.
Bunny with fairy lights
I refreshed an old card from my stash with a shiny new bunny; my first bit of Copic colouring for quite a while.
Merry, pink on pink
This is the last of this year's snowflake cards. It is also the first of the few cards that I made with a particular person in mind.
Silver snowflakes on red stars
The star-embossed panel that inspired this Christmas card was another piece rescued from the depths of my stash. All it needed was a sentiment and some shiny snowflakes.
Merry, white on white
Snowflakes are definitely my main theme this year. This time I combined them with a double merry cutout that I created with my Cricut Maker.
Embossed foil trees
An old experiment with foil, embossing folders and alcohol inks inspired four more Christmas cards. And I even got to use up a couple of sheets of patterned paper.
Snowflake greetings
This pair of cards answered the question "what should I do with this pack of snowflake stickers that I've had for who knows how long?"
Merry snowflakes
Apart from the dies, there is nothing new on these cards. I used card scraps and old painted papers; even the embossed "Christmas" labels are left over from last year.
