Hello all you lubbly jubbly people, how are you all? Guess what its friday woo hoo thank crunchie for that, I sooooooooo love weekends......but then dont we all. Altho they go too quick I reckon we should get a petition together to get a 3-day weekend.........what do ya think?
Anyhoos I have 3 simple & quick christmas to show you, I made all 3 using scraps of 12 x 12 christmas paper I had left from last christmas...........or was it the christmas before???
I think all the papers are a mixture of MME & Pink Paislee christmas. I've added lace & stringy stuff from my stash.
The sentiment is from my Kaisercraft Turtle Dove christmas stamp set. I gave the holly & berries a light colouring with pencils & added some sparkles. I stamped it in Memento Rich Cocoa.
On the MME set there was also a 12x12 sheet of pop out tags & things, this card is all MME.
I added some burlap under the Merry Christmas tag & pulled out some of the threads to give it a softer edge. With the threads I pulled out I added them to a button from the sheet & added a holly leaf as well.
This is my fave as its kinda vintage-y ;-)
I added lace & ribbon to this one & used my Kaisercraft stamp again. I have ran out of deep red card :0( so I had to colour this card with my copic, was not happy doing that as it slows things down when making cards & uses my ink lol. However at last minute its fine, I have ordered more A4 card today tho ;0)
Now these cards are not super flat but to me they are flat & its still gonna be soooooo much cheaper than posting a card of foofiness in a box ;0) The card blanks I got when I got my Ebosser as I knew they would be handy for quickie cards ;0) Also added spots of a pearl pen on each card, its an addiction that thing is lol.

Hi again Vicky - I love the look of these cards - I have been making 'commissioned' cards and need to do some for my own friends and family! Although these are as you say 'simple' they don't look it. My favourite papers of all time are from MME - I've yet to see one I don't like to be honest. I love all three of these cards.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you Sue Pass xx
Vicky my lovely, I'm gonna put you together with my younger daughter...she is determined we should have a 5 day weekend & a 2 day week lol!!!
