I need to make some Christmas cards and I am so behind that I need to make some speedy cards that still look great so my DOCRAFTS papermania Christmas with wellington set is so helpful. In about 2 hours I had made these cards without to much trouble. These cards used the kit nicely I still have so much left it's amazing how much you can get out of these kits. Top tips for Christmas cards. Layer! Yep layer your pictures, twice if you can it just makes your cards look so much more professional. Bows If you can buy a pack of bows they just add a lovely finishing touch to a card and it is Christmas. Gems If your card looks dull just add a few gems to a corner or around a sentiment. Colours You cant beat gold and silver bows, gems, glitter or buttons all these things just generally mix well with most colours at Christmas. Tags I am working on some gift tags which can often work really well as card toppers and can be made up very quickly. I haven't had a chance to buy much in the way of Christmas card making supplies yet this year but to be honest I know I have lots of items I can use. These lovely tags are made using stamping up cup dies and a stampin up punch to get the hot chocolate look. I have just used some red and white paper and twine on these but I love the way they look. The washi tape is from lidl and the little cake is a stamp set from paperchase. I love this jumper ribbon I just wrapped it around some red card added a Christmas sentiment sticker from papermania and a bow from hobby craft to some tags from the pound shop. I love these tags. The last tags are simply made using some cut card, stampin up punch to make the cake and some stickers I had stashed away.
Tags can be simple or complicated but I love making them. Next week I plan to make some loaded envelops. I do hope you will join me. Take care xxxx
