Christmas Robins times two.

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

I hope you are having a great weekend. We are very excited in a few hours time we will be heading off to get on our cruise ship. I think we start with two sea days. You never know I might even take an Art class I will have to see what is on offer. I think some chilling time will be worthwhile.

The other day I was very lucky I saw a post on Facebook saying the first five people to respond would be sent some Christmas goodies by Docrafts to feature on their blog. Well I was second and I got my goodies on Friday so I set to and made two Christmas cards.


These are the cards I made with one page of toppers. I love robins on Christmas cards.


This is what I was sent there is lots of lovely bits to play with. I have my Christmas cards sorted out now. 


This is the sheet I decided to use I couldn't resist the cute robins. 


I used Sue Wilson snowflake die for the corners,


This shows the detail of the decoupage. I use gel glue to make up decoupage if there is time for it to dry properly, which there was, I find I can get a better shape this way. 


Isn't this a gorgeous corner Snowflake die?


Both cards are 6" x 6". I tend to make smaller Christmas cards it is more economical with the card stock. This size suited the images well. 


The robins are very cute. 

Click on the logo to visit the Docrafts website. There is lots of inspiration there.

Have a great week. I won't be around for a bit but I will catch up with everyone when I get back. 

Happy Crafting

Hugs Jackie
