"Christmas Cards"

[Janice]

Post your Christmas Cards here for all to see and check back regularly for inspiration from the many talented ladies we have here :D

Every couple of weeks, I will go through the sticky threads and delete comments so that we can build up a thread of Cards :D

[MargaretD]

Hi this is a card I made at a craft class this afternoon. Learning how to do a little bit of pergamano
Hope you all like it:D

[Lorraine]

I have a christmas gallery HERE (http://www.justamemory.co.uk/catalog/gallery.php?cid=19&rid=17)and am adding to it regularly. Quite a few have instructions how to make them too.

[wssla00]

I'm not really thinking of this year's yet! Last year I made around 60 for two Christmas card exchange groups :wacko: :wacko: - they were mostly variations on the two doggy one in the gallery.

Can't work out how to attach this thumbnail to my original post so i'll place it into a new post:

[caryn]

Am getting so much inspiration from this thread - I will be "card-lifting" several of your ideas, they're lovely.

Here are 3 of mine.

[caryn]

And a few more!

[cutnpaste]

Some beautiful cards in this thread ladies

I am not prolific card maker but I do love doing Christmas (and family ones)
This is my first for this year starring fabby Tapestry Stamps and some glitter.

I think these are fun and easy to do but very effective.

[Bird]

Wow such lovely cards, well done to you all.

Here are some of mine, see what you think:

[culpepper]

here are my first three this year- I used a lot of peel-offs and stickers last year but that was the first thing I ever made and what started me scrapping- I have developed a bit since then

these are a set of stamps i got from the auction site- with embossing and inking. My favourite so far is the black and tan one.

[BuntyB]

I'm enoying looking at everyone's Christmas cards - here are a few of mine - one special one (for my Mum) in the middle and a couple of general ones:-

[pinkladymel]

i feel embarrassed to show my first offerings now! ahh well here goes..

[lojo7868]

here are a few of mine , more to be finished later , inspiration from Caryn:wub:

[scrappybluecat]

Haven`t made many yet I`d better get a move on

[errith]

Had a lovely long day sorting cards for my Friday Market as DD does not need picking up from school until 5.00pm cos of a play rehearsal.

What do you think?:unsure:

[errith]

And this one is my favourite, the one I had the most fun making. The little stocking comes off the card and can be hung on the tree:)

Got to go now, or DD will complain about getting wet n the pouring rain we now have!!:rolleyes:

[BuntyB]

Here is another special card for Christmas for a man:-

[craftymama]

Here is a card I made tonight using the big shot and snowman sizzix die and then I cut extra bits for the hat etc some of which is glittery and my DD reckons it makes it look frosty!

[Julie-Ann]

You can see some of our christmas cards here. (http://www.beecrafty.net/christmas_card_gallery.htm) TFL

[kittenglitter]

Love all the cards. Thanks for the inspiration. Will have to post some piccies when I ge the chance.

ETA images

I've now had a chance. (lol)

[Joanna1]

This is one i made today.

http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=93812&cat=500&ppuser=12991

[craftymama]

Heres a few I made tonight, I'm sorry to those who don't like them but I have used the dreaded peeloffs:rolleyes: (I rather like using them :lol: )

the rather dark card in the middle is actually shaped like a boot, I realise now I should have put a piece of white paper behind it:rolleyes: :lol: My excuse is its getting late and i really should be going to bed!

[MargaretD]

here are 2 cards I made this afternoon at a craft class I was at hope you all like them

[lruk]

Well ladies, thanks to your support and encouragement I had a go, here's my attempt at making cards for the first time, hope you like them :unsure:

[culpepper]

more of the stamping ones - I felt like a card factory last night- still experimenting to see which ones are quickest :lol: can't really see the edges of the cards in the scans tho :(

[Jay]

Here are some of mine.

[comfortablecat]

Love looking at all the fab cards on here so here are a couple of mine, I'm planning to make more today so great to have so much inspiration:)

[madmum]

okay-these are my first ever attempts-they are a bit basic but I really enjoyed making them!

489344893248933

48935 48936

I got the idea for the tilted santa/rudolph card from Bird's card in this thread.

[craftymama]

More fantastic cards, well done everyone, and you all seem so quick. It takes me ages to come up with an idea!

[Kirsty262]

Here's the ones I have made today, made about 50 so far

I did scraplift the first one though

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b109/Kirsty262/Color0001-1.jpg

Sorry they are massive, can't seem to get them any smaller

[MargaretD]

That is a brilliant idea Janice, then we can just also browse though the threads and look at all the lovely cards for inspiration
Here are a few cards I made today, I have just started stamping yesterday and now I am hooked especially on these Penny Black hedghog stamps.

[craftymama]

here is a couple more with a bit of a modern feel to them.

[madmum]

I love the little santas---i really *need* a craft robo for my lettering!

here's my latest, i'm really pleased with it. Its for my sister and BIL - she is addicted to these little bears and they were the theme of her wedding last year...so this seems very appropriate

heres the card and insert inside

48998 48997

[craftymama]

That bear is just so cute, I'm sure your sister will be thrilled.

Here is my latest offering made late last night, the gold card actually has holly leaves embossed all over it but they don't show up in the scan.

[lojo7868]

more christmas cards:) with blonde moments christmas paper

[fruitysuet]

Oh I'm glad I found this thread, I haven't started on any for this year yet and I think I need to, last year I was making them all very much last minute (so last minute I didn't get around to taking any photos, which was a shame because they were lovely, alcohol inks on transparency with silver embossed stamped images on top).

These are the ones I did the year before. I made a batch of each. It was the first Christmas after I discovered scrapbooking and I'd never made any before (well not since being at infant school anyhow!)

I hope to see lots more ideas to inspire me, there've been some really nice ones so far.

[craftymama]

I love those purple cards lojo they are gorgeous (mind you I love purple!:lol: )

Here is one I made using the Joanna Sheen victorian christmas, wasn't sure if the cd was for me but having got it yesterday and browsed it after work last night I love it so made my first one this morning, vintage and victorian aren't usually what I do but this could change!:lol:

[Jay]

I've done some Christmas cards. Would you like to see them?

[Jay]

Here are some more:

[etui22]

Hi Everyone
My first time posting in this forumn, normally a Craft Robo forumn poster - but saw this card on the net and decided to get the punch and have a go, thinks it needs something around the outside maybe? hope you like it.

[xxpaddler]

Just made this one for my best pal in Canada.
I wanted to do something a little different, and am pleased with the effect I ended up with.
Basic Grey papers on front, inside back and the star.
Brown vellum embossed with copper on front, attached with copper brads.
Brown vellum embossed with copper on inside, attached with copper eyelets.
Star is embossed with copper on the edges, copper eyelet attached to the top right eyelet with some lustrous copper thread.

I hope she likes it.

[craftymama]

I'm sure she will, it looks gorgeous. Feels Christmassy and light iykwim?!

Heres a couple I made tonight

[lislescrapper]

Here are some of mine, I loved the detail of the Christmas tree stamp, stamped and emobssed in silver. It took ages cutting them out though. I coloured some of the decorations in with white gel pen then added glitter to bows and on some I used stickles glitter glue for tinsel.

[noctrl]

Well there are some truly stunning cards on here, well done everyone!!

Here are 2 of mine.....

I am really getting in to UTEE and have asked for a Melt Pot for Christmas!!:wub:

[*Lorna*]

Hi guys, thought I'd share a few I made recently...

[Josieanne]

Here are some of mine. I have been using the Penny Black stickers and they are fab

[craftymama]

I made a card using the class instructions from the cc for the minibook by Gill (thanks Gill) and it wasn't as hard as I initally thought it would be. The ds cs is American Crafts 'ornament' found it in a local post office the other day and liked it so got it without thinking about what I would use it for but it is perfect for this. I know its not an original design but thought you might like to see it anyway.

[Bird]

Here are some of the cards I made last week:-

[Janice]

I made Christmas Card Set using the ScrapaGoGo Blonde Moments December Kit and I can now share it here :D

There are some instructions here. (www.scrapagogo.co.uk)

The whole set (7 cards, 4 gift tags and folder) was made from 3 sheets of 12 x 12 Cardstock (Red and two Green), 1 sheet of White 8 1/2" x 11" and three sheets of the 6" x 6" Blonde Moments paper :D

Thanks for looking.

[Janice]

The Cards:

[Janice]

And the last lot.

[Cheeks]

[KittyF]

[mysticclare]

You have many of you inspired me - I hope no-one minds me "cardlifting" a bit - all for private use...

[mad about cats]

Just thought I would show you my latest card I did with some decoupage. What do you all think?:)

[debbiem]

Wow - just looking at all these lovely cards is amazing - all your friends & family will be so chuffed to receive them - truly a talented lot :)

Here are a couple of my efforts
53711 53712

[germgirl]

Hope you dont mind me adding a couple of mine, they're done using this months banana frog DT kit, I'm just waiting for some Blonde moments Christmas papers & then I'll be making loads of cards (hopefully, if I ever get a minute :) )

[Lumpyfoo]

Here's a few more I've completed today....3 more ticked off the list!

[samsq]

I had a rush Christmas card request late Saturday evening, and this (http://www.craftisland.co.uk/catalog/gallery.php?cid=2&pid=198&page=1) is what I made. I used KI Memories "Joyful" range paper.

[sixfrites]

Hello,

here are a few of my cards. I am rather a stamper than a scrapbooker and found this site due to my brand new Craft Robo. You have wonderful projects here!

Have a wonderful holiday season,

Sigrid from Germany

[gazania]

I made several of these cards - I love making little scenes :lol:

[KarenMB]

Plenty of inspiration can be found in our Christmas card competition gallery. See all the entries HERE (http://www.charmedcrafttalk.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=523). 75 cards in there so plenty to browse through. :D

[dozyrosy]

I've posted a batch of my Christmas cards in my gallery, here, (http://cards.dozyrosy.com/main.php?g2_itemId=506) to add to our list. Many of them (swirly and squiggle Christmas trees, snow angel decoupage and waterfall mechanisms) were cut with my Craft Robo.

Rosemary

[xxpaddler]

Now I REALLY want a craft robo!
here are some more cards I did this year... Really enjoying the twinkling H2Os!

[errith]

Attached find pics of cards I made for the Lurvely Ladies on the Community chat 'Lurve Thread'. Wanted them all to be the same but different (:wacko: ), so fell back on my trusty old T-Bags.

Will upload larger pics into my Gallery eventually:)

[purklepoi]

These were some of my cards, I think I did just over 30, all the same but different.http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=101180&cat=5031

[Janice]

Here are my final cards that I got done in time!

The Black & White Ribbon Tree Card was for my son and his partner. They had a Black and Silver Christmas Tree this year, which looked stunning so I thought it would be fun to do their card to match. It was quite large, I used two Sheets of A4 Bazzill Cardstock for the back and front, eyeletting them together and scoring down the front to make a spine. MM Gem Brads for decoration.

The Citrus Coloured Ribbon Tree Card was for my daughter and her partner - they have gone to the Maldives so thought the funky colours would work well :D

The Heart Tree card was for my husband. Ribbon and Love stone were all Doodlebug - cant remember what make the acrylic hearts were.

My grandaughters card was from a template on the Craft robo forum, I added the text and uses stickles to 'glitz' it up a bit.

My grandsons card, again was a template on the Craft robo fourm, I added the text and used up lots of old Jolee's and Peel offs to finish.

Thanks for looking :D :D

[Nic]

Better late than never! This is a couple of the ones I made

[proper_pixie]

At last I have found time to photograph the christmas cards I made this year.

[Lumpyfoo]

My final Christmas card of last year - had to borrow it back to photograph it!

[willowsmum]

Here is one of my Christmas cards I photographed last year. I enjoyed making this card because it is decoupaged, It's called Muddledup Cottage.

[Samm]

Here's a couple of xmas cards I made this month, others on my blog.

[mum-on-the-run]

Here's my first Christmas card of the year!!

And no I'm not super-organised it's for a friend's belated Christmas which she's celebrating on 25th June :D

Edited to add : Can't get the "[IMG]" to work but the card is here (http://mum-on-the-run.blogspot.com/2007/06/and-another-dare.html) on my blog

[mum-on-the-run]

Thanks for the lovely comments ladies!!

Here's my latest :

http://bp2.blogger.com/_TWsdG2Xh9uw/RptSOtHPw6I/AAAAAAAAAKs/r_PTWwH-Sdc/s320/crimbob.jpg

Used the "resist" technique for the first time ever to make the snowflakes pop out from the ink, it looks fab and it's so easy! Instructions are with the card on my blog :)

[HOPEJACK]

I've made a card with the Love Elsie kit I got (I'm making loads of cards from it and they are on my blog (http://patsy-j.blogspot.com)) Here's the Christmas one:

http://http://bp2.blogger.com/_fm74BhfeiQY/RqG3FBbf0xI/AAAAAAAAARg/6WrycT8Lt5k/s320/HOTPTreeElsie.jpg

I also used HOTP stamps - info on my blog too! Was fairly pleased with it as I need to make it fairly simple with so many to make lol!

Sorry can't get pic to work (what am I doing wrong??) tried to link from my blog??

TFL x

[KittyF]

Here is a few i made for a demo at the shop :)

[KittyF]

Here is another christmas one :)

[anna m]

I made this card for the Wednesday sketch challenge on SCS. The stamps are by TandaStamps (www.tandastamps.com) from the Christmas sets 5&6. I used Doodlebug Designs paper and coloured the image using copic marker pens.

[mum-on-the-run]

Jo - I was told you could add IMG images from your blog? Am confused now?... :(

Patsy, the way I do it is to right click my blog image, copy the weblink, press the IMG button in your post here and paste the weblink in the box. In theory it's hotlinking, but as it's your blog it's your space so shouldn't be a problem :lol:


Thanks for all the lovely comments on my last card :wub:

Great cards from all the other ladies too!!

Here's my latest Christmas card :

[anna m]

Here are a couple more cards which I have made using Tanda Stamps (www.tandastamps.com) Christmas sets 5 & 6.

[anna m]

Here is another Christmas card (I know it's only August but I'm on a roll!!!) from TandaStamps cute new Penguin stamps. Take a look at their website (www.tandastamps.com) for their fab new mini sets of clear and rubber stamps. They are great for ATCs and small cards.

[Puddy]

some Christmas cards

[jennytrue]

Here are a couple of Christmas cards made with Penny Black stamps and a Bella one. I have used 2 of them for this months challenge (polka) and the use your stash challenge (doodlebug)! So you have probably already seen them! :wacko: The other is a card I made for the sketch challenges over on SCS.
TFL

[HOPEJACK]

There are some gorgeous stamped cards on here :wub:

This is one I made for a challenge (wiggly lines sketch). Have to say it's not my usual style but I had these pps and this gorgeous felt poinsetta so thought I'd have a go at making a more traditional card. The sentiment says 'Warm tidings' but is an acrylic stamp (quite fine) and so didn't emboss too well (even with detail powder) - so lesson learned. Think I might restamp on a piece of card and cover - quite like the rest of the card though lol!!!

Great one to have in stock for the grannies!

http://bp0.blogger.com/_fm74BhfeiQY/RsQdJHQy-dI/AAAAAAAAAec/X9gfPGERqZs/s320/Poinsetta.jpg

[BuntyB]

Just started my Christmas cards recently, have made 4 so far, 2 basic ones, one with punched snowflakes and glitter and one special one for my Mum. More ideas needed now for the rest!

(They look better IRL.)

[HOPEJACK]

Here's a card I made last night with a stamp I've had for years! I am really into my traditional christmas pps right now! I added glossy accents to the little gingerbread man after watercolouring him - he's also cut out and 3D :)

Well possibly a lot of you have seen this one if you popped onto my blog, but just in case you haven't here is one I made using some of Elzybell's new Christmas Stamps - Please excuse the naff lighting in this photo, need to get myself some decent lights when photographing - plus looking at it now you can't see any of the glitter or the shading around the igloo, so going to have to try and take a better photo tomorrow before I send them off to Elzybells!!!

[anna m]

Lisa, I love your eyecatching card and Cheryl, that little duck is so sweet.

Here is my card for this week's DCM challenge. Click on thumbnail for larger pic.

[Paula Jim]

I have posted this card in the acetate cards thread but thought I'd put it here too! I have made several cards the same, just using a variety of different colours of ribbon. Made using acetate, cuttlebug embossing folder, lots of stickles and a few adhesive stones.

[Catsnratties]

Try this one http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=135770&cat=500&ppuser=15896

[thecountryrose]

This was a card I made for a weekly card challenge on another board. I used the Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder and I did add glitter to the embossing, it just doesn't show very well. I also added some silvery white shimmery fibers to the fold side of the card, but was too lazy to re-take the picture :).

The lavender card I made a while back ago with snowflakes that I cut on my Wishblade.

[craftingkaren]

heres one i made i just used scraps for the trees so a very simple card, took only minutes.

[gazania]

I wanted to do an inky stampy Christmas card, so I used the HOTP TSV stamps plus a pine needles one I had from somewhere else and my distress ink :rolleyes:

[smarty]

Here are a couple of details from mine using Karen Stolper Stick Chick stamps There are a few more on my blog, just select Karen Stolper from the link list on the right. :)

I've had a lot of people asking where I got these stamps from . I've put the details on my blog (http://choicewordsandtastefuldoings.blogspot.com/2007/09/ive-had-loads-of-pms-on-uks-asking.html).

[Kell]

A few made using ATC's the ones behind apertures are designed so that you can take it out and keep whilst discarding the card. I'm gonna make some with photos too as ATC's are the right size for a purse. And the ATC sleeves are perfect for leaving the image so that is is easily removed

[Nic]

Kell these are gorgeous cards and what a fab idea using the ATCs.
I've been having a play today and this is some of what I've done

[passionflower]

Gosh you lot have been busy:wub: I ve managed ONE in the last week or so and here it is

Gorgeous cards as always Bird. A cute Mickey Fran.

[noctrl]

Here are a couple of mine....

I am doing 3 different colour schemes this year, traditional, Blue white and silver, and gold, burgandy and cream (my classy collection) will upload one when I have a piccy....

[Fifi-T]

All of my cards are the same this year. I have noticed that I am out of fashion as muted reds and greens are all the rage. Ah well. I love all of your cards, but here is my minimalist take.

[MuckyFingers]

This is one I've done after setting myself a task of making a Christmas card with non-Christmassy papers. If you'd like to join in with this challenge, there's a prize involved :) Details are on my blog xx

[Nic]

Another one from me...

[etui22]

got some embossing powder with sparkly bits in, so decided to have a go with my new stamps I got yesterday.
Hope you like it

[Shary]

I made one this afternoon with my lovely Eat Cake Graphic stamps.

It's here (http://shary-theothersideofme.blogspot.com/2007/10/snowflakes.html)

[Nic]

another one from me

[JAniemay]

Here's another one from me. I liked the design so I made a couple more but varied the colours. The dark card is actually a very dark green with silver flakes and the Noel is a lighter green embossed with irridescent powder but I couldn't get the colours to come out properly in the photo.

[EllePiggo]

Fab cards everyone...:D

I'm still not sure what to buy for my Christmas cards this year. But i've just done one for the DCM challenge using last year's papers.

[Gailh]

[noctrl]

Amazing stuff as always,

Here is my latest effort, had a play with all my Christmas Stamps, I think this would work well as an album as a gift.

[Nic]

These are all great cards-loving the different colour schemes.
I've been playing with browns tonight

[Nic]

I was doing "cute" last night too

[Kittypuss]

I bought some gorgeous new digi papers from Weeds and Wildflowers last night and made this quick card this morning.

[Tcake]

Hi Guys. there's some fab cards on here...Monica, love the tree thats my fav.

thanks for looking Tx

[Kittypuss]

My new magnolia stamps arrived so I couldn't wait to stamp and colour Tilda with her sledge and make a Christmas card!!! The little circle is cut from glitter card, embossed and then cut out and attached with my paper tagger so that it swings! The snowflakes are cut from glitter card too.

http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e168/kimpearce/Cards%201/Tildachristmas.jpg

[Craftspirations]

I made this one this afternoon with the new Figgy Pudding BG Papers. This is lifted from a design by Nicole Smith in Scrapbooktrends Cards Book.

[Nic]

Sooo many fab cards-and every one of them so inspiring!

I had a busy day yesterday...

[Scrappyjackie]

I have been absent from crafting for some time, I have been influenced by creations at local craft store and also an online site for downloading papers etc. Haven't named them as I'm not sure I'm allowed to.

I don't want to claim the inspiration for these cards as my own because they are hugely influenced by others. I am so pleased that I have found crafting again. Thanks to those who have inspired me.

Hope you like my take on the cards.

Jackie

[Kittypuss]

This is a criss cross card with an insert which pulls out.

http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e168/kimpearce/Cards%201/Crisscrosscard.jpg

[Louly]

Here's another one of mine. Details of where you can download my template and instructions are on my blog.:rolleyes:

[Kittypuss]

I cut the letters on the Expressions. It is really thick Doodlebug sugar coated glitter card and it cut it beautifully.

[jennytrue]

Here is a card I've made today using a sketch challenge over on SCS.

[debby4000]

Well I've made a start, this is a great thread for inspiration. The snowman is a penny black stamp and DCWV papers

[anniekay]

Great cards everybody. Here's some I made over the last week but must get going with more though - off to make a birthday card for daughters friend

[Kittypuss]

Blue and Silver Cuttlebug and Cricut creation!!

[Kittypuss]

Oval greeting made on PC and punched out with woodware punches. Tree is Big Shot die and the canes and pot are Cricut. Lights are some from Hobbycraft and present are peel offs.

[Craftspirations]

I have been making more over the last few days. I don't think I have made so much cards in ages. I have posted them on my blog, I have not put anything on it for an absolute age. http://craftspirations.blogspot.com/

[Josieanne]

Heres one of mine that I recently did

[Minty Magic]

I just love the Whipper Snapper stamps.

[sallyjh]

There's some fantastic inspiration here.

I made these this morning:
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/Sallyjh/Xmascards.jpg

[Minty Magic]

Sally you have been very productive. They are fantastic.

Here is another one from me with another stamp fave of mine - Penny Blacks - and I have been to a caft fair this morning and bought several more. Every month I think right no more buying but somehow I can't help it!!!!

[thecountryrose]

Made these yesterday. Two of them are made with Penny Black stamps (LOVE those PB stamps! :)), and the Nativity stamp is by Stampendous.

[wlisa]

Here is one I made on Friday

[JAniemay]

I was busy over the weekend making cards. I had a few cards commissioned and here are the results. I apologise for the pics - the colours just do not seem to have come out right. The snowflake card is actually on silver cardstock. The penguin card is white cardstock. The christmas Tree and poinsettia flower are from templates on the Craft Robo forum.

[thecountryrose]

Those are just beautiful!

Here is one I made a couple of days ago. My colors in my photo are off too. The papers I used are not 'olivey'.

[Cockneyrebel]

A small array of my handywork...just until my imagination kicks in!!
