Welcome to Sonia from Sonia-Jane Creations, thank you for following me. Welcome to my two other new followers too. I'm not sure who you are, as your pictures aren't appearing in my followers list, so please leave me a comment and I will put a link back to your blog.
I'm back after a break of just over a week in Devon. It seemed a good idea at the time to take advantage of the usually warm and sunny weather in the UK and head for the coast. We hadn't anticipated days of non-stop rain to come, but every cloud has a silver lining......I started batch making some cards and I managed to make 54 Christmas cards during the week. I'm now well ahead of schedule with my Christmas cards. We even managed to get in a few walks during the week too!
The first two cards are a similar CAS design, using a new DoCrafts 'Noel' die I bought this week in a sale at a local craft shop in Devon. I had lots of snippets of gold and silver mirror card, a perfect size for the die. I made the first batch of cards in red, gold and white.....
..... and the second batch in blue, silver and white.
The embossing folders are both by Crafters Companion - another bargain buy some time ago for £1 each.
For my last design I used a Memory Box 'Leaping Deer' die layered on a SB Lacy Square die cut. The embossing doesn't show up very well in the photo, but I used the same folder as the photo above.
I am joining in the following challenges:

Wow, that was a good amount of cards to make Liz so being away when the weather wasn't so good in some ways did you a favour as if you had been at home I suspect you would have found other things that needed doing..lol. I have still got a long way to go with mine. The Noel and the leaping deer make great focal images and those embossing folders were great bargains too. Very pretty cards. x
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity the weather wasn't so good for you Liz, but you certainly made the most of your indoor time! I love the cards you have made, and envy the bargains you bagged too!
