Must admit that I'm a bit spoilt this year as I now have my cricut and have bought the christmas cheer cartridge so I think most of my cards will be made using them
Must get started though as everything has to be sent early from here to get back to the UK in time for Xmas. Any crafty gifts that I want to send surface mail to save money have to be sent in October !!!
I don't have hundreds of cards to do, so I am going to do every one different. Going to try some star ones and some exploding box ones for close family
I've enjoyed your cards here, absolutely gorgeous I like them all. I haven't decided what I'm doing for Christmas cards this year. I may invest in a nice stamp and there's some gorgeous papers out.
I'm making all my Christmas cards Black and white this year, with a bit of fuchsia pink sparkle maybe! They'll be like these I did for Ribbon Oasis DT a bit ago (see piccy) I do like traditional colours but I do like to be different . I made fuchsia pink sparkly Paper Artsy ones with bits of BG Blitzen last year, could dig a piccy out of those too if anyone's interested? I did some kids ones too with some stamps triple embossed in chocolate scented embossing powder so they looked (and smelt) like chocolate coins. Oh I love making Christmas cards!
Well last year I made everyone (except my close family) iris folded Christmas trees which they all seemed to love so I 've got to find something to match up to that. think I will do a medallion stamped snowflake and holly wreath mix that I already have the stamps and loads of glitter for! Luckily enough I don't have to post very many!
I really prefer religious themed cards, which are really difficult to handmake! Christmas trees and reindeer and snowflakes and so on are much easier than trying to do a nativity or something, so ideas are very welcome. Here are my two faves from 2004 but inspiration has failed since!
Cheryl, I really like your angel ones - simple but effective - and I have that stamp! Can I "scraplift"? (Is there a word for the card equivalent?) It's great to share inspirations. Enjoying all these.
