Christmas

All of this time with no posts at all, and then two in one day!  It's September, so time to start making Christmas cards (at least if I want to have enough of them by the time December comes around).

This card was made using a digi stamp by Di's Digi Stamps, coloured with Polychromos pencils.

This is a card made using a free image I downloaded some time ago.  I have it credited as Kasjan's Scrapblogg, but I don't know whether or not it is still available.  Again I have coloured with image with Polychromos pencils.  I love these papers, which are from the Warm and Cozy collection by Carta Bella.

I have seen some lovely cards made by colouring on kraft card, so I decided to give it a go.  I always think this looks really effective, especially with whites, as the white really pops out.

I've added glitter glue on all of these cards, but I think it shows up particularly well on this card.  Christmas cards have to have glitter!

The papers used here are from the Jingle all the Way pad by First Edition.

I've been stuck in a bit of a colouring rut recently, so decided to try something a bit different.  The background here was created using embossing folders.  The winter scene was from my box of random bits and I've added a satin ribbon and bow, die cut snowflakes and die cut star.  The star is from a collection of X-cut miniatures, which I love.

This is another card created using embossing folders for the background.  The star is a die cut created using a Creative Expressions die by Sue Wilson, and I absolutely love it!

I think that's me done for today, but I will be back!
