Firstly: A couple of months ago I was asked to design the Christmas card for the Hornsea Pottery Collectors' & Research Society which I did using a cat cruet as the main feature. Here is the result, all printed now and sent to members with the Christmas newsletter.
I then started to make myself a few cards.
Something fun and quick. I'm a big fan of recycling newsprint so I dug out some festive rubber stamps, stained some newspapers with tea and a hint of green paint and set about stamping.
Next time to make a design, I've cut some simple tree and star shapes and stitched them onto cards.
The one below is simply a folded 3D tree I wanted to try, however not practical for posting.
Finally with the left over stamped bits of newsprint I made some tags to use up my scraps.
Wow, they are fabulous. I must must try this out next year (possibly this if any I have not done yet)I'm into recycling anything if I can. Mega impressed with this. Suzy
ReplyDeleteOh, by the way, what I meant was if there are any late pressies or cards to do this year!! Suzy
ReplyDeleteI agree, they are absolutely lovely, though I still adore your Robin cards most of all!
ReplyDeleteMust admit I'm a bit bah humbug with cards these days.
Hope the weather's OK with you x
They are all really pretty, you are so talented.
ReplyDeleteI just love the expression on the cat's face. :)
ReplyDeleteYour cards are great, such a clever idea!

Thank you for all the nice comments, if only stamps weren't so expensive I'd make more and more cards but I'm trying to cut down a bit this year and will email some of my festive wishes.
ReplyDeleteSo simple but sooooo effective and I really like your wallpaper behinfd
ReplyDeleteGrace the 'wallpaper' are pieces of craft card, it looks quite convincing doesn't it!
