Nordic Style Christmas Cards

These cards each measure 5ins x 5 ins and are made using hand cut Kraft card blanks.
Nordic heart CardThese are the cards I made using the felt Nordic style Christmas decorations (although it does say wooden on the packets!) I found in Poundworld (they have wooden ones just the same in Poundland).

Nordic Star CardRemoving the bows was a little hit and miss, some came off easier than others,  but I think I have managed to cover up the original hole for the hanging thread with a strategically placed pearl pretty well.

fab i love the simple style of these and the kraft card and pearls sets it of so well, i think these straw decs from Lidl would go well with them on a parcel tied to a tag with red ribbon look herehttp://www.lidl.co.uk/cps/rde/SID-FDE4BCDE-300A980A/www_lidl_uk/hs.xsl/index.htm under Christmas essentials also i noticed they were selling craft books and card making kits and decorative tap might be worth a look i dont have a shop near me but my friend does looks like another personal shopper is on their way lol great card big love marc
