Christmas cards, and making things!
I'd had these card blanks for ages, and thought they'd be ideal to use up some spare scraps of paper and Christmas motifs. I like that these are traditional colours but still quite subtle. And handmade cards are always so much nicer than shop bought ones aren't they?

No doubt about it; handmade is ALWAYS the best!
ReplyDeleteI love hand made cards like this! I made ALL mine one year but sadly this year time ran away and I had to buy them :(
ReplyDeleteAnd I do find it quite irritating in the shops like Walmart, they sell 'handmade' cards, which clearly are not handmade in the traditional sense, but because they have a topper or an embellishment stuck on they are deemed to be "handmade"!
My favorite handmade one is a card my step-son gave me on my birthday the first year I was with his dad. It was a balloon, drawn on a piece of A4 lined paper which had been folded in half and read inside " Happy Birthday, Love Chris". that was six years ago and I still have it safely tucked away!
These are lovely Angie and thank you for your kind comment on my current WIP!

Beautiful cards- so much more fun making them than trawling round the shops!
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with you - and the color choices are lovely!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely, Angie. So pretty and I have to agree with you. Handmade anything is almost always better than something mass produced.

Thanks everyone :)
ReplyDeleteRona that's so sweet! I still have Christmas cards my son made for me at nursery - I don't think I'll ever throw them away!
