I made this card and indeed wrote this blogpost way back in March when I made the other daffodil delight card, i used a different background die as the other one was a bit of a nightmare and I had also just found this one amongst my stuff lol. I also prefer the sentiment on this one, card making is definitely an evolving breathing thing to me.
I bought a magazine because this stamp and die set from Altenew was the free gift. This wasn't the card I set out to make but I was running out of time so I went with a quick and easy option.
Normally you see these cards just after each of their birthdays but this time there wasn't enough differences to make a blogpost for each one so I saved them all until after the last birthday. I did enjoy making them all and I hope they all enjoyed receiving them too.
I try and make something different for my Mum's birthday but this time I went with a technique I tried years ago, I don't think I was as successful as I was before and I totally forgot to colour the bottom image but I did enjoy making it and of course the cats look like hers lol.
The last elf hats for 2025, I do think I will use this die set again as it did get much easier as time went on.
I made this a little while after the one I showed yesterday but I still found them trickier than I expected, maybe its because I am not a die cut girl, I love to colour although this christmas that has been in short supply.
I can't believe it is the 8th already, this month well actually this year has whizzed by.
This was the first christmas card I made in 2025 and i was trying out a new set of dies that are postage edged, I do like them and I should have used them more but maybe next year will be their year.
This die set was one that looked easier than it was, its not difficult but it was trickier than I expected, still I did use it several times.
