Christmas cards

Hi everyone, it is only me again.  I just thought I would post a few Christmas cards that I have actually made over the past few weeks.  These are definately not the best cards that I have ever made and it shows how my 'mojo' has gone and left me.  I thought I would post them anyway, so that I can always look back and see how the cards worked out even after everything had left me. lol
These are definately NOT my best works of art, but I still had to show them.  Hopefully, the old 'mojo' will return sooner rather than later.

So here we go:

As I have said, these are definately not my best, but this is the last lot of cards that I am going to be making this year.  Sorry but the layout of the cards did not work out the way that I wanted them to, I think everything is going 'wonky' for me. lolI am going to have a much needed rest from making cards and I have a few tests that have to be carried out by the GP, so until all results are back and I know that I am not losing the plot, I will leave trying to make cards for the time being.  Please don't leave me, but keep coming back - you never know when I will post something different.

I hope that you are all managing to get your Christmas cards completed for this year and are looking forward to all that you have planned for this Christmas.

All my love to everyone

Hugs

More Christmas cards

Hi everyone, here are a few more Christmas cards that I have made this afternoon.

All of these cards were made in exactly the same way.  Each of the cards were matted and layered with silver mirror card and then the white sheet of card was embossed with a folder.  I followed the tutorial from Christina Griffiths - www.card-making-magic blog.I then cut out the shapes (freehand)  from glitter paper and stuck them to the card using sticky fixers.  I used sentiments that I had in my stash to match the colour of the main images.  I stuck a few glitter domes at each corner and on some of them I put flourishes and angels wings from diamantes.

                                               

Quick and easy Christmas cards

Good afternoon everyone, I hope that you are all having a wonderful day whatever you are up to.  My day so far has been making quick and easy Christmas cards.  I have only made five of them, this was due to what was in one of the magazines that I subscribe to.  (The last one - Grey Bear -  was made with my own stash as you don't get mirri card with your freebies in a magazine.)  You generally get a small amount of paper and decoupage or something else, so today it was decoupage.  I really haven't done much decoupage recently, so I thought, well why not. 

So without further ado, here they are.

(I need to sort out my pictures as the colours are looking rather dull)

So there you have my quick and easy Christmas cards.  They didn't take me long to do, each of them had some glitter sprinkled over them and they had sticky silver rope put round each of the circles.  Their little sentiments were part of the freebies that were given with the magazine.

I have just had a conversation with my son with regards to the Christmas cards that I make for selling.  He has always been very vocal when it comes to what I do with cards and how much time and effort I put into making them.  He is of the opinion that what I should be doing is small cards like these ones, put into packs and sold (as I do), rather than spending too much on each individual card.

When people are wanting special cards, I can go with this separately and charge accordingly.

Having taken on board what my son is saying to me, I think that he is right with this, as I do take too much time and put in a lot of effort.  Even when I am doing small cards, I should try to do quick cards and get a conveyor belt going, rather than stressing myself out.

So I think for this year, I am going to listen to my son (don't tell him that though lol), and make up some packs of cards that I can sell, rather than doing individual cards for selling.

So let me know what you think and whether or not this is the right way forward with my cards.  Your opinions and thoughts really mean a lot to me and I appreciate every single one of your comments.

I was looking through what cards that I have, and I came across my very first Christmas card that I ever made.  It is very simple, quick and easy and it shows me how far I have come in my cardmaking.  I have many cards that I don't think I would ever show, but who knows maybe one day I will show them.  Anyway, here is my first Christmas card ever to be made.
