I ran out of time so had to resort to bought cards, very tasteful ones if I do say so myself! I managed to put aside a couple of days - the weekend actually - and wrote all my posting cards. I wrote my little letters of news, enveloped and stamped them ready for the post.The sentiment stamp on the back was a find in John Lewis. It is a very round, beechwood handled stamp, fits in the hand very nicely, thank you, and has directional markings at the base and on the handle.
I wanted to make some crafted cards for the members of CRUNCH and just happened to have all the Christmas 'stuff' on the desk. I decided that for quickness I would recycle some of my saved card fronts: I die cut some of the fronts, punched the edges of some, decoupaged a couple, even found some stitched ones in the box.
I cut some of the papers from a paper pad, which I bought from The Works some time ago, to use as backing papers on the folded cards. I used the same cards for all so that once I measured the papers, they would fit all the cards.
I am very pleased with the results and may even create a few more .... while the Christmas 'stuff' is open!! lol
Great card ideas! Chrisx

ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful cards, Christine - I particularly like the die-cut borders. Thank you for your visit and your comment - glad you like my album pages! My hand is getting better and is a lot more comfortable with the fingers taped together. The physio was quite kind and didn't hurt me too much!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Christmas.
