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.
The last of these this year but there is an elf just waiting in the wings that I need to make too, maybe I will make it ready for next year lol
The second of the wine glasses I made and it may be my favourite, I will apologise that the cards are spread out this year but I wanted to post every day in december and I batch made too well this year lol.
Sometimes you see something and know that its perfect for a person or in this case couple, I couldn't wait to make this card and I made three designs of the possible 4 so you know I am itching to make the other one now.
This came together so effortlessly that I began to wonder why I waited to use it. Both the background stamp and die are from Alinacraft and I haven't used that brand before but I will be back.
Its been a while since I made a first christmas card and I went with a design I made way back in 2017, I found the stamp whilst looking for something else and couldn't resist recreating the card. I even used the same colours of card stock.
After I made the playday cards I wanted to make my Mum's christmas card with the nutcracker as well, however my mum likes bigger cards so I tried adding it to a 7 x 5 instead of an A2 and it worked, of course I made sure to add the teeth this time but I am kind of regretting that lol.
I am not sure why I absolutely had to have this die but I really really did. I made all my crafty friends cards from my two craft groups with this die and I had a blast. I decided very early on to mix and match the colours and that made it easy to batch produce, of course I was in the zone on the first one and forgot the teeth but I think he looks less scary without them.
I am hoping to post daily in december but I made the bulk of my cards with leftovers from last years cookie cards and I forgot to photograph them and of course I posted them before I realised!!!
