I have to admit to feeling very rusty as far as making cards is concerned, but I began to feel the old adrenalin flowing as I was making these ….. but I have to admit they are VERY, VERY basic….. I feel my lack of mojo has forced me back to basics and square one in a lot of ways.
I just love the “snowy” card I have used, from Payper Box (fill a plastic wallet), as soon as I saw it I thought snowman and Christmas. The bubble snowmen which contain small seed beads came from The 99p Store last year, which I didn’t use in the end but was determined I would use this year. I have however seen them again in the pound shops again this year if you fancy some too. The metal Making Memories eyelet plaques came from the Hobbycrafts Show at the NEC years and years ago cost me 50p a pack, but again have never been used ….. well this year, is their year!
I made the topper first, snow and sky, adding faux stitching, then mat and layered on silver ….. and a snowman plonked in the middle. I then put the topper onto the 5ins x 5ins card base and then set the eyelet. Nothing to it really ….. simples and as I said very, very basic!
They may be simple, but they're very effective! Your family and friends will enjoy receiving these.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with 'simples' Helen, these are lovely, just the right paper! X
ReplyDeletethey are perfect as some times you need a quick clean no fuss card and i like these big love marc
ReplyDeleteOh these are so cute - when you have a lot of cards to make, then quick and simple is usually the way to go. I start off the year making very fancy one off design cards but by now I am down to quick and easy so that I don't disappoint people by giving them a shop bought card LOL

ReplyDeleteHi Helen. Geat cards. I got these after Christmas last year and the Father Christmas and stocking ones the other day. I am planning to use some on our 2 and 4 year old grandaughters Christmas cards. I also personalize the Christmas dinner crackers so will use these, again for the girls. Take care.
