Stampin' Up | Cookie Cutter Christmas #1 - Reindeer

When is it too early to start making and posting about Christmas cards? In crafting land it's never too early and it's always good to be prepared! That's why I'm coming on today to start sharing my Christmas makes. 

First up is this lovely set of cards that proved very popular with my friends and family last year but I didn't share on my blog. Because they were so popular I decided to make some more!

Personalised Thank You Cards

Hi there!

Today I wanted to share with you some personalised thank you cards that I made for some of the placement students at work that were leaving!

I love this design of card and it's one I go to time and time again when I want to add a name to a card. I simply add the sentiments onto a stitched circle and add the person's name onto a banner that stretched across the bottom of the card.

The main products I used for these cards are:

• Avery Elle Simply Said Thank You Die
• Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Circles
• Xcut Wedding Ever After Alphabet & Numbers Die Set

Here is the sketch of the card that I designed for you to use as inspiration!

Docrafts | Forever Friends Opulent Haul

Hello! Today I wanted to share a haul with you. I recently bought the lovely Forever Friends Opulent collection by Docrafts so thought I would share it with you!

Craftwork Cards | Heritage Rose Collection

Hello! Today I wanted to share with you some cards I made using the Heritage Rose collection by Craftwork Cards.

I had so much fun using these papers and toppers and whipped these cards up in no time. The only things I added from my stash were glue, white card, flatback pearls and a little bit of ribbon. I didn't buy anything extra to use with this collection which I love because it helps me use my stash!

Let me know if you have this collection too as I'd love to see your makes!

(Apologies for the poor lighting in the photos!)

Simple Father's Day Cards

Helloooo! Today I wanted to share a simple Father's Day card design that's really easy to do and great for using up scraps.

I simply drew a tie shape on a scrap piece of card to use as a template and then drew around it onto some of my scraps. After I'd got quite a few ties of different prints I matched them up into groups of three and found a backing paper to match. 

Clearly Besotted | New Baby Cards

• Clearly Besotted Rounded Tag Die
• Lawn Fawn Stitched Square Dies

Avery Elle | Seal-abrate

Hello! Popping back on today to share with you my second batch of Seal-abrate cards. I made a set of these a few weeks ago and they went down so well that I ran out, what can I say, people love a pun! So I thought it was about time I made some more.

I already had a lot of the seals coloured in because I like to do my colouring in batches when I get the time, so all I had to do was cut out a few circles and backing papers and stick everything together!

Do you like a pun as much as I do? Let me know what your favourite is in the comments!

Until next time,
