Quickie Christmas cards

I am getting to the point where I need to make more and more Christmas cards each year as people get to know I am a card maker and get offended when they get a shop bought offering! I have been like a little card making sausage machine this week and have had to find some quick solutions. Die cutting has featured quite heavily!


I made a few of these cards last night. I wanted a Scandinavian theme but fairly clean and simple. I used the Spellbinder Fleur de Lis squares and a Memory Box Bianca snowflake die, backed onto a gingham paper which is less washed out IRL! I had to take pics under artficial light before packing them up for posting today. You should see the pile of parcels and oversized cards my poor OH has to take to the Post Office today. I dread to think what the postage will be!!!

Hope all your Christmas prep is going well. I have ticked quite a few things off my To Do list over the weekend!

  1. Please, please, please don't turn into a sausage machine! Your precision with symmetrical layouts is wonderful (R is symmetrical so I know it when I see it) & I love the way the colours work with each other in this one. Take care - I'm negotiating the Post Office this morning.
