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.

Red and gold Xmas card
This Christmas, I plan to simplify my card-making. I'll be using my card stash and creating just a few new cards, starting with this design based on remnants from last Christmas's crafting.
Beer bottle & balloons
Digi stamp design, Copic colouring, Cricut cutting, stamping and heat embossing; this masculine birthday card for my youngest nephew has a little bit of everything.
Layered daisy
Running short on time and inspiration, I turned to my Cricut Maker to create some flowers for the second of this year's Mother's Day cards.
Striped Xmas cutouts
The simplest of this year's Christmas card designs and the only one that didn't involve a needle and thread.
Thread stars
The first batch of Christmas cards this year are a combination of hand-stitching (with a pretty variegated metallic thread) and machine-cutting.
Graphic happy birthday
Faced with making another masculine card, I went for the bright, shiny and graphic option; designing a card inspired by some chocolate.
Christmas star v2
In the spirit of cutting down on waste, I used the leftover cut-out pieces from the last set of cards to make some more.
Christmas star
I was pondering designs for another set of Christmas cards and settled on the idea of a star on a stained-glass-style background. Once I'd created the design, the cards came together quickly.
Foil cut-out block Christmas tree
Another attempt at foiled cards. The distressed look wasn't what I was aiming for but I worked with it and ended up with two more cards for the Christmas card stash.
Pink foil Christmas tree
More Christmas cards made using my block Christmas tree design, but this time I turned it into a stencil and got out the shiny pink foil.
Block Christmas trees
After making the last two pairs of cards I was left with all the blocks that had been cut out to make those trees. Rather than waste them, I decided to turn them into some more cards for this year's stash.
Glitter block Christmas tree
The second pair of my block Christmas tree cards. I'm using the same design but I still want to vary the cards, so this time I went for a more glittery approach.
Ribbon block Christmas tree
Having successfully ignored the C-word for many weeks, I had to give in and start making some Christmas cards, if only to avoid getting ridiculously stressed out when December arrives all too quickly.
Tom Servo
I really need to get out of the habit of coming up with ideas for cards only a few days before they're needed. Luckily I worked out how to create the cut file design, assembled the finished Tom Servo card, and beat the deadline this time.
