A few Christmas cards

I've been really disorganised with my Christmas cards this year but here's a few I've managed to get done.
 This one is a simple stamped card using a set from Stampin up lovely as a tree and a merry Christmas I've had forever. Used my new ink pads for this the colours are really good, particularly pleased with the green, its Stampin up old olive.













These three are made using Stampin up hostess set four seasons. When I first looked at this stamp I thought it would be best in blues since it was snow flakes but I'm also pleased with it in the other colours, (red and green, purple and lighter green.)  My scalloped circle and one inch circle punch compliment this set perfectly. Looking forward to making cards with the other three seasons in the set.



The last one for now is created using my new stampin up owl punch. This is a really versatile punch and I think this reindeer is cute and quirky, very good for a first attempt using this punch, it is quite alot of fiddling getting all the elements punched in the right colours but the end effect is lovely.

Christmas Craft Fair

Sorry I've not been posting much recently, seem to have been so busy with work and the guides and scouts I volunteer with.
Anyway when to a Christmas craft fair at the week end in my village, had a stall.


The stall layout wasn't brilliant but that's something I'm going to work on in the next year. The friendship teas sold really well I think people are thinking they will be nice to post with Christmas cards to friends they don't see very often. Also sold some of the pencil boxes as a nice little stocking stuffer and the festive tissue packs.





Hopefully get some posts up soon about the Christmas cards I've been making and playing with some of the new items I've brought from Stampin up.
Happy Christmas Crafting.
