HOW MY CHRISTMAS THEME BEGAN..

 Hello everyone,

Sometimes  I like themes for my Christmas card, I get an idea and if it flows, it flows, and I make over 200 cards for the season, family, shop, friends, special friends, overseas and then the orders in between.

This year...this is how my theme began..

I shopped on amazon and bought this..

and started cutting..

and card stock backing to make them studier 

I do nothing perfect with my eyesight, and don't really care, 

but all the ephemera was hand cut out and matted with card stock..

and sometimes a die worked, but the tags etc are different sizes so pretty limited.

but the hand cutting was okay and I inked the edges to hide boo boo's.

after buying my  Hero Arts nesting dies I found one good enough for the round ephemera, so that was lucky, I cannot cut a straight line, so a circle was never going to work..

double sided these one as they are pretty small.

and you can see by now my theme is " Animals "

different sizes in this book, so that was fun.

I made so many animal themed cards and tags which I will share as time goes by

and still had bits left over..

Here we are at the end with all the pictures cut and matted and ready to go..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you tomorrow..

Luv CHRISSYxx
