Another Batch of Christmas Cards

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog.  Hope you are all having a wonderful day.

As you could see by my Title, I still have some Christmas cards to share.  Seems all I've done over the last couple of weeks is make Christmas cards and I am not quite done.  One more to make and quite a few yet to share so I hope you're not tired of them yet.

These cards were made for some close friends.

Card #1

Still using those gorgeous Maja papers.

Some gauze and berries in the cluster and I've used some more scrappy bits of paper to make those small scrolls.

The greeting is taken from the small strip at the bottom of one of the 12 x 12 sheets.

 The inside showing the verse I have used on all of my Christmas cards this year.

Card #2

As I explained in my last post, when I make multiple cards, I find it easier to make them all pretty much the same.  Same design and embellies, just different papers and different configurations.

An extra paper layer on this card but no paper scrolls.

I've added gold stickers to all of these cards.  Have had them in my stash for many years and thought it was time to finally use them up.

Card #3

Different papers (still from Maja) and I've added some twirly bits (not sure what else to call them) to the cluster. 

As you can see, I have added a touch of snow and some splatters to all of these cards.

Added a little stamping to this card as well.

Card #4

Added some gold snowflakes to this one and a little stamping here as well.

This one has a small oval shape underneath the cluster and I have included the scrolls again.

Have used seam binding on all of these cards for the closure and this is how it looks with the bow undone.

Another case of .. the same, yet different!!

Hope you are all organised and ready for Christmas.  I am almost there.  All cards that needed to be posted are gone and I just have two more to hand out this weekend.  Then there is just one more pressy to get which, hopefully, we will pick up tomorrow and, other than the food and drink, which will get picked up next week, we are done!!!!  Woo! Hoo!

Thank you so much for visiting.
Take care, stay safe and God Bless.

A Trio of Christmas Cards

Hello sweet friends and welcome to my blog.  Hope you are all having a wonderful day.

Well, I am back again to share some more Christmas cards with you today.  These were made for some rellies of mine and have a pocket to hold some Gift Vouchers. 

I've kept all three cards fairly simple.  They are, pretty much, the same design but I've used different papers and slightly different arrangements so they don't all look like total clones of each other.

Card #1

Used Maja papers on all of these cards (These papers were part of a RAK gifted to me by my sweet and generous friend Heather Jacob.  It will take me years, I think, to get through them all!)

Distressed all the edges and added some touches of 'snow' which is probably quite ridiculous as our temperatures around Christmas time are usually in the high 30's (Centigrade), but I really love the look so, I figure, why not!!

The 'Merry Christmas' is part of the strip at the bottom of one of the 12 x 12 sheets.  Have cut up the strip and used it as the greeting on all of these cards.

Added a strip of lace and a few gold stickers.

The usual pockets on the inside.
The left side will hold the gift vouchers and the right side is for a journal card with my personal message.

Card #2

On this card I used different papers, moved the elements to the right hand side and turned the oval shape.

The flower, leaves and berries are the same ..

 .. but I have added some diecut snowflakes.

 

 

Hope you're still with me folks. One more to go.

Card #3
Different papers again and this time, no lace.

 Same greeting  ..

..  same elements in the cluster ..

 .. same snowflake diecuts.

There you have it!!
When you have a bunch of cards to make for the same occasion .. such as Christmas .. it is so much easier and quicker to do when you use a similar design and elements. 

 The same .. yet different!!

Thank you so much for dropping by to take a look at my creations.

Take care, stay safe and God Bless.

A Duo of Christmas Cards

Hello sweet peeps and welcome to my blog.  So nice to have you drop by.

It is December .. can you believe it??  I certainly can't.  I think I say this every year .. where has this year gone??  I think I might have blinked and it just whizzed past me .. LOL!!  

I am well and truly back into the race to get my Christmas cards done.  

Those of you who have followed me this year will know that, at the beginning of the year, I had fully intended to make at least 2 Christmas cards each month.  Well, that idea fell by the wayside very early in the piece I'm afraid.  I only managed to get about 8 cards done by the end of October, and this month I have managed to do another 5, so I am still way behind.  Must admit though, I'm in a better place this year than at the same time last year so, hopefully, next year, I might actually end up in front .. hopefully.

So, having said all that, I am sharing two more cards with you today.

Card #1

Both cards have been made with Maja papers and all edges distressed.

Some leaves cut with my Silhouette, a couple of tiny red roses and  two pomegranate apples for the cluster.

I love these small Christmas Bauble Greetings from Scrapmatts.  They are so pretty and the  perfect size for cards.

I had some small squares of scrap paper on my desk so decided to roll them up and tie them together with a twine bow.  Love how they turned out.

 The usual on the inside.

Some swipes and splashes of white paint .. and done!!

So, onto
Card #2

Yep, same as before .. Maja papers and distressed edges.

Added a bit of gauze under the cluster ..

.. and a bit of glitter  here and there.

Another Scrapmatts chippie, a bit of washi tape ..

.. and the usual on the inside.

Voila!!  Two more cards added to the pile.
Now to put my head down and get some more made.  Need to do heaps over the weekend so they can be posted Interstate.  Ah well, no rest for the wicked!


Thank you for visiting my blog and do enjoy the rest of your day.

Take care, stay safe and God Bless.
