Kylie's Card

This Christmas Card was the favourite choice of my children. Love the look of the Dashing Papers, and the Season of Joy Stamp set. I think Kylie got the card technique from SCS. Isn't it fantastic.

Tracey's Card

Christmas Cards for Tracey is huge. She makes hundreds of cards every year and I think the card she made for our group is very simple and elegant. She admits it's a card that she was shown how to do from a friend so it's not an original, but it is very different to the cards Tracey usually makes and it is always refreshing to look at card making from another angle I think. Thanks Tracey.

Sarina's Card

It is really nice to see the Holiday Thyme papers again. I was really surprised by this card because Sarina mentioned that she was going to do a really simple card and instead attempted the Criss Cross Card. This is great Sarina. Thanks.

Nancy's Card

You can see that Nancy and I had similar ideas for our cards. She has used the Figgy Pudding papers and also the Season of Joy Stamp Set from Stampin' Up. Isn't it lovely. Thanks Nancy.

Linda's card.

This card has plenty of Wow factor. I love a card with hand sewing! It is a tri-fold card. The inner fold has the nativity dry embossed on it and it is really lovely (sorry I didn't take a pic of it). Thanks Linda.

Renae's Christmas Card

This is a card that I received from my friend Renae. I really don't know if the card is an original or not but don't you think it is lovely. Thanks Renae.

Figgy Christmas

Here is a Christmas Card I made for my Scrapbooking friends. Every year we make 6 of the same card and then give them out so that we also recieve 6 different cards. The girls are quite talented. I will show you a few of these cards in the next posts.

In this card I have used Basic Grey Figgy Pudding papers. The stamp set is Solemn Stillness. I love the elegance of this Stampin' Up! stamp set.

Dashing Season

This one is for you Peta. Here is another card using Season of Joy and Dashing double sided papers. Hope you like it.

Navy Season of Joy.

This is the another card by Peta.  I really like that she has used a non-traditional colour combination. It also make me realize how versatile the Season of Joy stamp set is.  The poinsettia stamp was used here.  The card is a variation of a card on SCS.

Wintergreen Joy

Peta was inspired by a card on SCS for this card. It used Soft Sky, Sage Shadow and Whisper White cardstock.  The stamp set used is Season of Joy which was in the Spring Mini Catalogue and sadly is no longer available.  I love how the wintergreen papers co-ordinate with the card colours and the Soft Sky Double Stitched Ribbon.

Perfectly Peta

My friend Peta has been nice enough to allow me to share some cards that she has made and I will post these over the next couple of days.

I love the layout of this card, and the lovely organza ribbon. Isn't it just lovely.
Thanks Peta.

Merry Christmas.....Mate

I have been inspired by Claire Daly's wonderful idea. She has been posting 12 days of Christmas cards which has been wonderful. Please use the link to her blog site"Art with Heart" on the right to be inspired. I thought I might give it a go and post my own 12 Cards of Christmas. Let's see if I can do it?

A couple of weekends ago, I went away for the weekend with my crafty friends and we had a great time. We spent the day making cards, and some other off the page projects. Lots of christmas cards were made and this is one of the cards I made. I made quite a few to send out to my family members. I really love water colouring at the moment and in this card I used the Happy Christmas Mate stamp set. The card is an adaptation of the card that is in this years Stampin' Up catalogue. Colours are Real Red, Old Olive and Whisper White. I also used Stampin' Write Markers, watercolouring paper, Old Olive designer series paper and Real Red grosgrain ribbon.
