My final set of Christmas cards this year. A foiling failure forced me to adapt and it ended up being my favourite set as well.

Let it snow snowflakes
Another simple, small batch of Christmas cards. I'm not sure how many more cards I'll make this year — I have a couple more ideas that I definitely want to have a go at, but I'm also super aware of time passing and also that Royal Mail deliveries have been getting a bit sluggish since… Continue reading Let it snow snowflakes
Silver snowflakes on purple
After making the set with the gold snowflakes on red, I pondered making a more contemporary set with silver snowflakes on purple — I quickly decided that it would be a nice alternative and would give me another much-needed small batch of cards — and so I did. It's very rare that I repeat designs,… Continue reading Silver snowflakes on purple
Gold snowflakes on red
If I have any chance of making enough Christmas cards this year, I am absolutely going to have to do a few small batches of relatively simple cards. And this is the first of those. Not that it hasn't taken me most of a day to finish them off, finding time in between the daily… Continue reading Gold snowflakes on red
Snowflakes on red
Another pair of cards using the red Christmas masterboard. This time I added an extra layer of stamping on the background and then decorated it with die cuts. These were both assembled from things already in my stash. I had die-cut some sentiments and snowflakes at the same time I made the masterboards. I just… Continue reading Snowflakes on red
Christmas: Snowflakes on red and grey
Another small batch of cards made to fill out the Christmas cards stash; this time a more graphic style in red, grey, black and white. Once again I used the MISTI to make the stamping easier, and for a change, I even stamped the inside of the cards. Supplies: stamps: Create A Smile - snowflake whispers… Continue reading Christmas: Snowflakes on red and grey
Christmas: Snowflakes and tag
In an attempt (surprisingly successful this year) to avoid panic-making cards just before Christmas, I usually create a couple of small batches of cards; this was my first for this year. I keep the batches small and swap out the colours so that none of the cards created are identical. How: I cut some white… Continue reading Christmas: Snowflakes and tag
Xmas card: Santa and snowflakes
What: My Create A Smile snow dance kit finally arrived! I can only assume the postman was jealous and wanted to hold onto it for an extra few days before delivering it. How: This card looks like there’s a lot going on, but it actually came together quite quickly; for once I had an idea… Continue reading Xmas card: Santa and snowflakes
Christmas cards: Embossed snowflakes
What: A trio of Christmas cards that developed from the simple idea of heat embossing snowflakes onto patterned paper. How: I started by choosing a wintry blue patterned paper and white heat embossing a random covering of snowflakes of all sizes onto it. Then I die cut some different shapes from it (still with no… Continue reading Christmas cards: Embossed snowflakes
Xmas cards: Shiny snowflakes
What: Two simple Christmas cards inspired by some shiny wrapping tissue I picked up. How: My starting point was wondering how well the shiny “tissue” would work for snowflakes, so I die cut several of them after first backing the tissue with Stick it. I also die cut one from a circle, leaving the negative… Continue reading Xmas cards: Shiny snowflakes
