Christmas Cuties

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

How is your week going? It is always a tough week when we go back to school. It is so easy to slip into the stay at home lifestyle.

Last week I made a few Christmas cards. Surprisingly, this year where I am so busy I have managed to make more Christmas cards than I had at this point last year.

I was looking through my collection of old cards (people love giving them to me 😊) and I found two cards that had obviously come from the same set. The little images were so cute I had to use them.


The original card were just these images in the centre of a white card which made them super easy to cut out. 





There is not a lot to say I used the Double Pierced Squares and Rectangles dies to make all the mats and layers. The papers were in my stash. 

I would like to enter the April Rudolf Days Challenge

Enjoy the rest of the week. 

 Happy Crafting

Hugs Jackie

Hi Jackie,
Happy Rudolf Days.
these cards are so very pretty and wonderfully created too.
Love those super cute images.
Brilliant re-cycling.
I agree the Pierced double squares and rectangles are very usueful.
I only have set B so improvise with snippets that came off other ones I have cut out to get my pieces that look like the A ones.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
