Christmas Cards - Solemn Stillness

Here we go again with another Christmas Card this time using some silver embossing with the Solemn Stillness stamp set. All my Christmas cards are one off's which is a real challenge but I have reached 20, which means I am quarter the way there.

Christmas Cards - Season's Sketches

I bought this "preloved" stamp set a while ago on ebay as it's not in the current catalogue and have finally pulled it out to do some more Christmas cards. Five cards today I think that is a record in one day and it only took me about four hours and that includes cooking spagetti bolognaise for lunch and hanging out the washing.

Andrea Lowcock - 3 fold Card

I received this lovely card earlier this week from the friendly Stampin' Up Demonstrator, Andrea Lowcock with some templates, sorry I could not tie that bow very well. A big thank you to Andrea and I hope to find time to try out the templates over the weekend. Andrea updates her blog site just about everyday so I do enjoy visiting regularly to receive lots of inspiration. If you wish to make a 3 fold card she has instructions on her blog.
