Very Scandinavian. Thank you

Definitely! And even if it's just the colours, you can't go wrong with kraft and a touch of white/red. :D

Thank you Nat
Ellie

Very Christmassy Nat, just lovely.

Here’s one.

Beautiful Ellie, fits the prompts perfectly.

I need to think up a quick and easy design for Lizzy, she wants me to help her make 22 cards for her school friends !!

Gorgeous card Ellie, you are so quick off the mark.

You can do it Alison!:lol: No pressure then.

That’s lovely Ellie!

Good luck with your mission Alison... ;)

Alison... washi tape with a Christmas piece added over the top.. like this but Christmassy. You can always stamp a Christmas image and punch it into a circle if you don’t have enough ephemera

Thanks Elaine, I shall play tonight and see what I can do. Must admit Lizzy does like a bit of washi :lol:

Problem solved then Alison and wise words from our own prolific card maker Elaine.:lol:

Love card Elaine, that is a really nice sentiment stamp.

Thanks ladies. It is a very quick 5 minute card and so simple. I think the sequins just finish it personally.

I have another one.

Very simple card.

Ellie - that is SOOO beautiful

Thank you Yiayia. I like the bird house. You can’t see it on the photo, but
I put a bit of sparkle on the roof.
Ellie

Very pretty Ellie

That is such a pretty card Ellie. The berries look really shiny too and I see we have a little birdie sitting in the bird house, so sweet.

Beautiful.

Lovely card Elaine, the Christmas presents are so cute.

Lovely cards Elaine and Ellie, I bet they were well received :)

I wouldn’t know..we weren’t there and no one bothered to let us know. Don’t know why I bother really.

Me too Elaine. DGS didn’t comment either
Ellie

:(:(

Fortunately, my cards were for a 2 and 3 year old and their mummy and daddy sent a video of them opening cards and presents, they were delighted - nice to get some feedback.:lol:

I only did baby (Isabella's 1st Christmas) and two toddler cards this Christmas. The one with the teddy bear I went back in and used glamour dust, wow it looked so sparkly, glamour dust is my favourite sparkle. On this photo I'd just used a sparkly pen but it didn't have the glitter, then forgot to take a photo of the finished article but you get the gist.

Both gorgeous Susie.
Like how you have done the photo of adorable Isabella.
Ellie

Thanks Ellie, it had to be such a quick card and a photo frame was the quickest way to go.

They are gorgeous Susie, Isabella is beautiful, I think that will be a much treasured card.
I need to look up glamour dust...

Fabulous cards Susie.

Thanks ladies, I should have made something more by hand but simply didn't have the time. The Glamour Dust I have had for years Alison, it goes such a long way and gives a lovely sparkle, very snowy. I've bought others but always go back to this one.
