Xmas wishes in blue

Yesterday I made 90 Christmas cards - a marathon session. They were quite simple cards, put together quite quickly, five of each design, ready to sell for Tearfund - people don't always want to pay much for Christmas cards and so I like to make some that I can sell quite cheaply. And today I've managed to put in all the inserts and bagged and labelled them. I still need to make a lot more.

So I made five of this card - the blue stickers were among some I picked up as bargains on my last visit to Poundland. The base card is pearlised (an opportunity to use up some of the boxes of pearl card that haven't been touched for a couple of years) and the strip of text paper is from scraps left from a magazine freebie.

Btw it's the scan that's wonky, not the card!


I'm linking for these challenges:

Ann's creative nook 105: 'scallops and squares, oh my!'
Moving along with the times 64: 'Christmas'
Other lovelies thoughtful Thursday 26: 'C - my C is for Christmas'
Bah! humbug 36: 'text'
Winter wonderland: 'monochromatic'
Crafty Ann 23: 'monochrome'
Lots to do: 'monochrome'
One powerful hour: 'I got the blues'
Daisy doodles 17: 'keep it simple'
I did it 22: 'keep it simple'
The three muses 68: 'the printed word'
Secret crafter Saturday 101: 'anything goes'
Glitterbabe 12: 'anything goes - don't forget the sparkle'
Corrosive 82: 'clean up the dust' - unused craft stuff - the pearlised card
