Christmas Thank You...
Hey,
Happy New Year's Eve to you.
I've been a bit absent since Christmas Eve, deliberately so, as I felt the need for a little recharge, so no plans (bar seeing JT), no schedules, just breathe.
Because I have been off work since the 22nd December, I have had lots of time at my craft desk.
I've used the time to tidy, file, play with new stuff and get craft-organised for 2018.
I love to make sets of Thank You cards, but for our Christmas gift thank you's this year, I thought it would be fun to make different ones that follow an idea.
I love the MFT peek-a-boo circle dies, you get two in the set. One is a simple stitched circle and the other one has a scalloped edge inside the circle.
I opted to use these dies as my base for all my cards.
As you can see from my photo, they do look like a set, but are different.
I really got to flex my stamps here, I used TONS of sets (see below). Apart from the Bookish Bear cards, I used one paper set (by Recollections) for all of the cards and I made 10 cards in total, some are duplicates.
I am really pleased with this little set of cards, they are super cute and a fun way to say thanks for all the thoughtful things that Hubby and I received for Christmas.
Hope you have a wonderful time ringing in 2018..see you in the New Year.

A beautiful set of cards, love how you worked to the same sketch but got very different looks to them all x
ReplyDeleteI love all of these, they are great. I think the peek-a-boo idea is a great one and it absolutely gives you flexibility. I have been liking the play with all the things but with a set element idea - I totally copied and did it with blended backgrounds. Big fan man x
