Merry Christmas!

The festive season has finally arrived. I am wishing all of you a lovely, peaceful and enjoyable Christmas time. I hope that you get the chance to spend a lot of quality time with your loved ones.

And yes, we have really got white Christmas. The roads thankfully seem to get better, but we have still got wintery scenes all around us. And how lovely is that at this time of year.

Merry Christmas!

Traditional Christmas cards

I really like cute Christmas cards and projects in white and blue tones. But there is, of course, also demand for more traditional Christmas cards.

For this style I have now worked quite a lot with the poinsettia corner from Little Claire. Coloured in with ProMarkers the stamp provides a lovely focal point. And once it is matted and layered it does not need much more than a sentiment and some embellishments.

Quick Christmas cards with tapestry stamps

Many of us are probably still in full swing making Christmas cards for sale or for our personal use.

For quick, yet effective cards I really appreciate tapestry stamps. Images are quick and easy to create whilst all creations have got a touch of uniqueness. It is a known issue that metallic inks can rub of easily, but I am now combating this with a hint of glitter glue that I apply over the metallic sections.

For the card below I used the poinsettia wreath set from Rubber Stamp Tapestry and a variety of small ink pads.
