Chocks Away

My card today is meant to be a masculine Christmas card, so hopefully I've managed to get as close to masculine as possible (for me!).

No pink in sight!

Although the image is quite generic, the papers are definitely festive and I added a winter tree for good measure.

Waiting for Santa

It's another Christmas card from me today (hubby already thinks we've got Christmas cards coming out of our ears), and I've kept the design really simple.

I've returned to my (current) favourite Christmas pad, First Edition's Silent Night, and a die that I'm really loving at the moment too, Cottage Cutz Holly Border.  I finished my card off with a few pearls, and an array of white flowers, stamens and pearl strings.

The image is matted onto silver mirri card, but it actually looks black in the photo as it's hard to get a good photo of the mirri card.  :0(

Biggles

Hi all,

I have absolutely no idea just how many days it is to Christmas and I keep thinking that I must get on with making some Christmas cards! How are you getting on with making yours?  Many of you have been visiting our Christmas shop, so I know there is lots of planning going on! Do send us some piccies of your creations, it’s always lovely to see what our customers make with the crafting goodies that they purchase! It might also inspire me to get on with making some more Christmas cards myself!

Well, on to today’s card which, for me, is…another birthday card! This time using a range of cute Molly blooms stamps: ‘Biggles’, ‘Chocs Away’ and Celebrate (text stamp). To match the vintage theme, I used Bo Bunny ‘C’est La Vie’ papers (surprisingly just right for a male card) but added my own modern twist!  

  

Here’s a close up of the images coloured with copic pens:
