I hate seeing Christmas stuff in the shops so early but it is a reminder for me to crack on with cards if I want to have them ready in time for Christmas. Each year I leave it too late and end up rushing them and not enjoying the process. Today I thoroughly enjoyed making my 'Lords-a -Leaping' frog card and spending time colouring and fussy cutting him out after stamping.
I made the goose card yesterday. You can't see the Merry Christmas very well in the picture but it is heat embossed in silver and looks good in natural daylight.
Here is a close up of the feet and eggs enhanced by a little bit of strategically placed glitter.
They are lovely Simone! I agree I don't particularly like seeing Christmas too early either but if you're handcrafting you don't really have a choice!
ReplyDeleteThanks Vivienne! My cards don't look too 'Christmassy' at the moment so I don't mind making them. :)
ReplyDeleteSuper cards, Simone. Like you I don't like Christmas to be seen around too early but making things at home is different and has to be started early. I love the goose and the icy twinkles around its feet:)
ReplyDeleteThe icy twinkles make me feel a bit chilly! :)
ReplyDeleteYou have been very productive, I’m still trying to ignore the fact that Christmas is fast approaching! X
ReplyDeleteMy enthusiasm is waning a bit now Lyn! x
