I joined in a recent challenge to make a selection of cards using just one sheet of 6 x 6 patterned paper, cutting the paper following the template. So I could get well ahead of my Christmas cards for next December, I decided to make six Christmas cards. For this set of cards, I more or less CASE'd the designs for the challenge. I added some plain white card, stamps and twine.
I decided to make a second set, this time using my own designs. The patterned paper was cut using the same template and I used a die, punches, stamps and white and gold card.
So.... that's another 13 Christmas cards made for next Christmas. Two of the cards are embossed with Christmas text which you can see if you click on the photo.
I am joining in the following challenges:
I have a few Christmas presents for friends still to deliver. Due to the pandemic we haven't been able to meet in person. I made some tags today to add to the presents and plan to post the parcels this week as I have no idea when the lockdown here will be lifted.
What a neat way to use printed paper--love the cards! Darling tags!
ReplyDeleteTwo really lovely sets of cards, great colours and designs, lovely tags too.

A brilliant start to your Christmas cards Liz, it's amazing what you can create with a 6x6 sheet of paper,a beautiful selection of cards
ReplyDeleteLovely idea Liz. I like that the cards are all so different. I assume that you didn't end up with any offcuts either which is another bonus.
ReplyDeleteAfter no cases in the community since November 18th, we currently have one case. The officials are hoping that they have caught it early and can ringfence it so it doesn't cause another outbreak. Only time will tell on that I suppose. I hope that they do contain it and we don't have another lockdown.
Back with my DT hat on. Thank you for entering the No Sentiment Challenge at CHNC.
DeleteWow! You are way ahead of the game in getting Christmas cards done. I just finished my first for the new year today. I will try to do more before the month is over but I will have to get busy soon. LOL Almost done with another month.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great use of the patterned paper and both sets are cute. I do like the embossing folder you used too. [Bunny]
