Christmas Cards 2021

I hope you've all enjoyed a wonderful Christmas, just as we did. Lots of food, love and laughter. Santa was very generous to us all and our little princess felt very loved - especially by Santa! The lives of those no longer with us were remembered and celebrated.

Today I want to quickly show some of the Christmas cards that I made for family, neighbours and friends. 

I used two sets of papers that I just couldn't resist. The first is the Let it Snow collection from Graphic 45. I haven't treated myself to G45 Christmas papers for a few years, so this collection was a real treat for me. 

I bought a bundle and other matching bits from My Creative Spirit which included the 12" (30 cm) and 8" (20 cm) papers, plus journalling cards, stickers and the 12" (30 cm) patterns and solids papers.

I made some 6"x 6" (15 x 15 cm) cards and some 5"x 7" (12.5 x 17.5 cm). I used gorgeous matching ribbons from Fantastic Ribbons. The plain card I used for the matting layers is from Limetree Craft.

 I die-cut snowflakes, trees, ferns and poinsettias from dies I have in my stash as embellishments and added gems.

I also used the White Christmas 6"x 6" (15 x 15cm) papers from Craft Box to make some cards. The lovely artwork of this collection really caught my eye. They show some wonderful wild animals in beautiful watercolour snowscapes. All that was needed was some matting card, ribbon and a die-cut sentiment.

All the cards were finished with generous helpings of glitter.

I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Christmas, however you celebrated, and you now look forward to a wonderful 2022 with a heart full of hope.
