Peace

This A5 card was made with Kanban supplies, including the lovely card blank, which isn't 'Christmassy', but I thought it looks OK with the square letters and sentiment. The gold foiling is much better irl.

Berry Christmas

As I said previously, during the past couple of weeks, in between doing other cards and blogging etc, I've been making simple A5 cards from some of the two kits, using A4 decorated or coloured card as the card blank, using toppers and mainly decorating with various washi tapes that I already had in my Christmas stash.

So here is another set depicting berries and baubles.

These are for:

Merry little Christmas 27: anything Christmas goes

More Christmas birds

Five more cards made from some of the Wild Winter and Very Berry kits, once again featuring birds, with the A4 card pieces made into A5 blanks with the toppers and various pieces of washi tape etc.


These are for:

Merry little Christmas 27: anything Christmas goes
Christmas 24 19: winter birds
Moving along with the times 123: animals and/or birds
Crafty animals 43: anything goes
2 crafty critter crazies 43: anything goes

Christmas birds

A while ago I bought two Christmas kits from Create and Craft so that I could make quite a number of cards without too much time and fuss as I will need a lot to sell and also for me to send. One kit was called Very Berry and the other Wild Winter. In each of them there are various A4 pieces of card as well as many toppers of various sizes.

Over the past couple of weeks, in between doing other cards and blogging etc, I've been making simple A5 cards from some of the two kits, using A4 decorated or coloured card as the card blank, using toppers and mainly decorating with various washi tapes that I already had in my Christmas stash.

So, using the largest of the toppers I've made forty cards altogether, in groups of five similar cards with the same sort of topper.

Here are the first ones, with birds using a couple of plain A4 coloured cards folded as A5 blanks and three patterned.



These are for:

Merry little Christmas 27: anything Christmas goes
Christmas 24 19: winter birds
Moving along with the times 123: animals and/or birds
