Twelve very quick Christmas cards.

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends,

How is your week going? I hope you are getting everything done that you want to do. We are mostly doing Christmas prep in our free time. Work for me finishes tomorrow. We have a busy weekend ahead but things should calm down after that.

I seriously misjudged how many Christmas cards I needed. When we were writing them on Sunday I realised that I needed to make a few more. Now there isn't  a lot of time left is there? So I needed to make some quickly.


I made three of each of these designs so that is twelve altogether. They are made with a Kanban pad that was a members gift from Create and Craft a while back. I was looking through the pack I noticed that some of the sentiments on pages of four  matched some of the backgrounds. I added a few die cuts and there you have it some quick cards. 





The deer family dies,from Sue Wilson's  2015 Festive Collection of dies, I thought went well with the designs just cut in white. Did anyone else get the Crafter's Companion Advent Calendar? Everyday there is a new die it is a lovely gift, I used the star from my collection of dies on one of the cards. 


The recipents seemed to like these cards. I still have a few cards to make. Next year I am going to have to be more careful about calculating how many cards I need. 

Happy Crafting

Hugs Jackie

  7. A gorgeous collection of cards Jackie. I always under-estimate how many cards I need and last year even had to go out and buy some.
    Enjoy your Christmas break when it arrives. I still have another week to go so will be cramming as much preparation into this weekend as I can.

  8. Your Christmas cards are amazing! How did you make so many in such a short time! It takes me a while to make cards! The papers are so pretty, but what I really love and must get now is that beautiful Sue Wilson deer die set!

  10. Very pretty cards, Jackie. Love the wood-style paper! I didn't know about the Crafty Companions advent calendar - sounds like a brilliant idea. (I got a Boots No. 7 one - new skin care and cosmetics to try each day - I'm not complaining, but do you think my hubby is hinting at something!??) xx
