Xmas starts early

Loads of xmas cards to make for friends and family so this is just a small selection of this year's designs

Diesire over the edge

I have been experimenting with the new Diesire over the edge butterfly and star dies. They make a great feature on a card and can be used in lots of ways

Pop up box cards

Pop up box cards are lots of fun and can be made for lots of different themes. They do take quite a while to make so are more expensive to produce but well worth it for a special occasion. There is a small section on the back of the card to write a personal message.

Craftwork cards butterflies

Craftwork cards have a delightful new paper pad which is all about butterflies. It works really well with some additional die cut butterflies and some glossy accents or glitter.

Cherished teddy

I have used the Tattered Lace cherished teddy die to make these cards which are ideal for birthday or get well cards.

Crossword

This is an ideal card for a crossword lover

Crealies concertina card

I have used the Crealies no 14 die to make the card base for this card. I have added a simple sentiment in the centre of the card but could have stamped an image or used another die cut. The card folds flat for posting.

Pink & black

These girly cards are pretty in pink and black but other colours could be used

More wine!

Honey Doo wine stamps

This stamp set was advertised on Create and Craft and is one of the most useful sets I have bought for some time. There are some great sentiments and the images are suitable for birthdays, anniversaries or congratulations
