Snowflakes

Years ago when I first started cardmaking, I bought a load (and I mean a load!) of narrow envelopes suitable to house cards made by folding a piece of A5 card lengthwise. I decided that I should try and use some of the envelopes, hence these cards. They are simply stamped with an Inkadinkado snowflakes stamp, using the same stamp twice, just turning it the other way the second time - I'm pleased with the way these turned out - they are all first attempts - would have been easier with a clear stamp to see exactly where I was placing it the second time. The stamp was inked with versamark and heat embossed with detail silver. Just the addition of the greetings (half of a Papermania Season's Greetings stamp) and the cards were done.

I think I'll make more of these - perhaps using a dark background of black of navy blue.

When I had my sales for Tearfund in the autumn, I lacked the usual number of packs of cards that I make, somehow I just didn't do so many, so this year I'm going to try and get ahead by making some packs of 5 as well as making the individual square cards.
