3 Quick & Simple Christmas Cards

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.

Thank you for stopping by you all totally rock. I am slowly catching up with you all I will be round again to catch up with the rest of you tonight.

Gosh these weeks are really flying by now arn't they can you believe its time for a new challenge over at Saturated Canary already...... We have a nice easy one this time our lovely Lou has designed a sketch pop on over to see the yummy sketch.

I have used some more of the new release Saturated Canary stamps by the talented Krista, you get these 2 stamps together so I thought I would use them together, arnt they fabulous. I love these as they could be used for female & male cards............oooh la la

The top corner is a gorgeous Marianne die, I've also added Prima flowers & a Marianne corner. Seam binding & lace from my stash. The gorgeous charm was a gift from a lovely friend 2 christmasses ago.

I've used spellbinders die for the image mat.

These 2 stamps are called 'Grey Tie' & 'Under Contract', yes based from the sexy story 50 Shades Of Grey............have you read that book? I have read half of it but then hubster brought me a new ebook the kindle fire hd (fantastic ebook) so I gave my kobo touch to Megan............of course all my books were on there, so I've still not brought it again.

Loved Lou's sketch it still gave scope to add a few foofy bits ;0) Images were of course coloured with copics.......
