Christmas Card Galore

I've got LOTS of Christmas cards for you all today! I like to make lots of different designs (because it's always easier to reproduce later than come up with a fresh new design). And I've got my break now, and my October release goodies have arrived yesterday. So I had a bit of a busy day yesterday having fun!:D

I'll try and keep words to a minimum because I know I'm wordy! lol

This card is a really fun card. It's funny that I went straight for the Front & Centre die without thinking after I had organised my new goodies, and somehow decided to make a card out of it. And this is what happened. I thought about adding sentiment to that oval cut, then (somehow) ended up making a tag to fit into it.

Here's what the tag looks like pulled out. I had to put two layers of foam tape around the Front & Centre die cut to make this really work.

Here's another card with some more Melon Berry/Berry Sorbet goodness! Talk about unconventional colours for Christmas! But I love it! And I finally got my hands on those Prisma Glitter, and boy oh boy were they pretty. Not to mention a mess on my table. By the time I finished the card, I had glittery black pants! ;)

A simple card with In the Meadow set. I'm really loving this set. I have no idea what to do with the snowman, but I'll figure it out later. In this card, I used a satin cardstock to add a bit of shimmer to the snow.

 One more, and somewhat masculine, if there is such thing as masculine Christmas cards. Keep it simple is the way to go.

This next card is a complete CASE of Maile Belles' card. I loved it so much I had to reproduce it. And this is why I desperately need some chocolate ink!!! Remember how I said Dawn McVey was such an inspiration? Well, Maile's one of my favs too. I love PTI Design Team <3

 And last but not least! I regret using white cardstock for the Santa... but oh well. That Santa is uber cute and I'm so glad they came in mega sizes ;) I distressed the edges of the card with my scissors. I was surprised how easy it was. I had never tried it before and something just told me to do it yesterday. Love the little vintage look it adds. Now if I only had some Copics to go with these cute Tremendous Treats sets...

 Anyway, that's it for the day! I've just come back from a shopping spree with mum and I am tired. And I could use some dinner too! ;) See you all later, and thanks for poppin' by!
