Quicky Christmas

Hello everyone :)

I wouldnt say these were exactly quick but once you get going its basically auto pilot ;)

I have done 10 Christmas cards and I only just coloured them with my Sharpie Minis.

Here is 2 of them which is the basic design - 5 of each. I had originally left them just with the sparkly thread but on cream card it didnt really stand out. I hope I have done the right thing by colouring them!!


Pattern is a freebie from Stitching Cards and it is by Form-A-Lines. Such a beautiful and easy pattern to do.


I do have to learn to do peel offs as I have just realised my "Christmas" may have had too much egg nog ;) I am getting better with them I promise!!!


Here is a close up picture of one so you can perhaps see it better. Peeloffs are from a set I got in a bargain clearance last year and forgot I had them. I was thinking I should perhaps do some sort of line to add the feel of a border, but unlike my last card I dont want to regret doing things after I do it.
Next Christmas cards I am going to do I have designed the tree myself and have stitched on cardboard so I can mount them on a background and give more height. They should be done hopefully over the weekend so I can share them with you :)
Thankyou all for stopping by - such a lovely feeling to see people have visited and even are following me :) I appreciate every single one of you.
HUGS!!!

....aw yes, lovely cards Hev! I do the same thing - make 10 of one style as it is easier and faster and they go to different folk anyway. TFS - really pretty!
