Xmas Lite

Yesterday my friend Kate and I started on Christmas cards. Kate's on mass production but I decided to make a card for Throwback Thursday . The challenge is to use a cricut lite cartridge and bling. The only lite cartridge I own is Jolly Holidays,hence I thought it could count towards my Christmas card stash!

I silver embossed the sentiment,glamour dusted 1 ornament and added a few gems. I think that counts as enough bling! Lol!

I like how this turned out.

Do pop over  and see Emma's blog,there's some great inspiration.

Thanks for looking. Have a great day.

Just a quick post. Hoping to catch up with all your blogs in the next couple of days...can't wait to see what you've all been making.
It's my son's summer fayre at school this weekend,so made a selection of goodie bags for them to sell to raise funds.... lots more than in the photos. My lovely Mum(who doesn't craft) helped me put the bags together.

Thanks for looking. Will be back soon with holiday photos.

Christmas Card 2

A couple of weeks ago I made a card for a blog challenge which was to make a christmas card every week ready for the festive season. Unfortunately the site has closed,but I decided I would still try and make the odd one here and there.

I am rubbish at using my gypsy but decided I would make a shaped card(and yes welded it on my gypsy!!!) and all the layers. Tilda was stamped and coloured with promarkers.

Everything is popped and inked. Have a fabulous Friday. Jayne x
