Christmas cards

Well check me out, I'm organised for Christmas already!  OK, so that's not strictly true as I've done nothing else to organise, just made my cards, but that's a good start.


I used my Sizzex Big Shot to cut out the Joy, tree and stocking motifs from funky foam.  I did a set of each in two different colours, then swapped parts of them over.  


Each motif is backed with a square of patterned paper and the tree has some tiny jewels added.


I used some of the cut out parts to make a square card using three complimentary colours of tree and a single joy.

Simple, quick, done!  Now I just have to remember to write in them and actually post them...

  5. You are way more organised than me, Wendy. What a great idea for Christmas cards - very effective and SO much better than commercial cards.
