Christmas cards

I have been missing off my blog for the last while, due to making Christmas gifts, that I can't share until after Christmas and making Christmas cards! We went to our nieces Christening last Sunday, fantastic day and Charlotte looked like a little cherub, beautiful little girl! So I have known for weeks that this was coming and what do I do, leave it until the last minute to make cards for the family, d'oh, so here are the cards that I handed out! I had 3 cards already made which I I have shown before! There was also a birthday card for our nephew but I forgot to photograph that!!! These cards are for nieces and nephews, brother-in-law and wife and sisters-in-laws and husbands and father-in-law and his wife!
















Thanks to Nicki for letting me stamp the Santa image and thanks to Tracey for letting me borrow her Fluffy stuff, it's fantastic for the collars and cuffs of Santa's suit!

I used one of my newly won Elizabeth Bell Designs for SCACD - Special Edition Ornament Collection for one card - Partridge in a pear tree!
A Whiff of Joy, Inkadinkado and Magnolia stamps!

And all my stash has been bought at Running with Scissors!

How the card looks open and looking down on it.



I made this card following the template on Time for Crafting site by the fab Sara Sandberg. Sara has followed the basic design of the starbook, hence the name Starflake.



The card is tiny and can be used as a tree decoration, if you attach fibers or string along the spine of it, it also looks like a cute little book when its tied up.

Startree!

I have actually made some cards .....

I have made over 30 Christmas cards for the kids at school! A very simple card a stamped image, coloured with felt tips, added stickles. And that's it, for 30 cards that is enough, lol!

I have put chocolate gold coins in with the cards! All I have to do now, is buy the envelopes, lol!
When I arrived at school today, I found 5 more cards in my pigeon hole, from the children I was assisting last year, how sweet was that, only problem now is I have to make more cards, ugh!!!!
