COLLECTION OF HANDMADE CHRISTMAS CARDS

Well,  with the pre-Christmas i had, family and friends were lucky to get a card off me at all. It was one of my worst months ever. Anyway when i did manage to sit down and make some, I just hadn't the time to put them on my blog at the time. So although it may seem daft putting up Christmas Cards after Christmas i still thought people might like to see them. All of them are made on 8in x 8in card, using my Spellbinders, Heartfelt Creations, Creative Expressions, Cosmic Shimmer Glues, Marianne Dies and various Christmas papers and card stock.

So here they are and i hope you like them.  Just sorry I didn't manage to get them on  the blog before Christmas.








ESPECIALLY FOR YOU WITH TONIC AND SPELLBINDERS

I'm loving some of the Tonic Dies at the moment and just thought this topped off the Spellbinders Opulent Ovals Die.  I also used a Spellbinders Die-lites flourish Die for the corner on top of some fancy floral paper.  Then again used the Cosmic Shimmer Pink Glue to make border dots around the card.  The card used is Centura Pearl, is there really anything other than Centura that gives this beautiful shimmery finish ?  I then adorned the card with a bouquet of flowers.  It was made for my friends birthday and took most of the day to make and dry. 
So here's the finished card;

MY CARD FOR 65TH BIRTHDAY TO MY STEP DAD.

Well i haven't posted for quite a while, not that i haven't been crafting, just that with Looking after my mom, going away for Christmas, breaking down, expense of car repairs and so much more I just haven't seem to have found time to actually sit down and download pics of my crafting.

This card is obviously for a special 65th Birthday for my Step Dad.  It's a easel card but I'm really happy with the the way the 6 and the 5 intertwine nicely and of the card stock used.

He was really happy and said the words a crafter longs to hear "Wow that's a lovely card, one to keep and treasure"  To hear that, you know all the time taken on a card was worth every second.  I'd hate to think our hand crafted cards were just thrown away with all the others.

Anyway here it is and i hope you all like it too.
