Christmas Cards

Hello there ...

How has your week been? 

I've been getting ahead on some DT work and making a few simple Christmas cards ... Ones I hope won't cost a fortune to send


I love this branch die and the little birds ... both by Memory Box


... and I love the Washi tape ... a buy from Ebay 


The pretty poinsettia is by Pink Paisley ... my dear friend Rebecca sent me a pack of their embellishments - the star and sentiment are My Minds Eye ... I just drew a string for the star


I have to prepare some Christmas cards for my sweet group for next week's class .. I'm thinking that these will be quite simple but effective for them

I'm keeping this short as my DH wants us to go into Manchester to visit the German Market ... It's ages since I took a train ride and right now the weather is not too bad ... 

Have yourselves a beautiful day

Gorgeous card :)

My blog with card for the challenge City Crafter is already running. I suppose it was a temporary error.

The CAS design works beautifully with the lovely dies you've used. That little birdie is so sweet. Hope you had a great day out with hubby. Hugs!
