Christmas Cards

Evening all. I have had a nice day over at my mam's with my sister she is teaching me how to do some basic bracelets and keyring charms. I will be showing some pictures on here shortly (going to take a while to collect eveything I need I think) and to be honest I want Chloe to learn how to make these more as I love card making too much.

Well the cards I have made are from Kanban packs I bought last Christmas from QVC when Dawn Bibby was there. The cards are all 6 by 6.



The first (above) I have made with my son Marc. He picked out the topper and the backing paper and together we came up with this card. Background card and topper are from Dawn Bibby designs (kanban) Kit. We then finished with ribbon, gems, Christmas Hat brad and of course some glitter.



The second (above) is just a simple card backing papers from stock and the finished with gems, ribbon and peel off border around the card.

I just like to say thanks for stopping by and hopefully I get some general cards made by the weekend.

Loving the gorgeous snow - I am so ready for Christmas

Hi, all I am absolutely loving this gorgeous weather - I love the snow and I do hope it stays around for Christmas, it will be so prefect. Christmas decorations are not up yet but thinking of getting them up on Saturday.

Well the dinning room is finally finished thank goodness now I can now get back into to crafting rountine again - not too much but just enough to make a card now and again. I am finding it difficult trying to juggle everything at the moment with Chloe being at nursery half a day and then having to go back out just after I turn around and get Marc from school and before I know it I am ready for bed that is without starting to get my head into a card. At the moment the school is closed so I have managed to cut a few more things out ready to make a couple of cards ....




Well I have managed to squeeze this card in using a pack I got of QVC I have keep it quite simple with ribbon down the side and two blue snowflakes just to finish it off ... I have made some more stuff but still in the need that little bit to finish off get them done soon - I hope..

Bye for now and I hope to be back into a rountine in the New Year.

Snoflake Christmas Card Challenge

Hi I am still a bit behind on this challenge but getting there I thought I show this card I made just simple straight forward using background paper and finished off with a topper. However on the hexagon shape piece of backing I have had a go of dabbing with ink. First time so hopefully looks okay. I have finished the same with a bit ribbon down the side. I have adopted Joanna Sheen's technique with the bow effect by just tying a little bit of ribbon on the ribbon down the card. Hope it looks the effect otherwise I am no good at making bows. Bought the bow maker but John gets the taks of doing them all. Anyway the card itself is 15cm by 15cm and the topper I bought from a pack of QVC in the Kanban range.
