Hi folks


Just popping in to share the last of this year's Christmas cards before the New Year rolls in.

Building the Christmas stash!

Hi folks,

Yes - it's time to share a few more Christmas cards for this year's stash. I should probably smarten up and get these addressed and stamped as I make them - I'm notorious for making my cards and then not getting them into the post in time. Oops!

These are all variations on the same theme - just switching up which side of the paper and the sentiment used. A quick way to add to the stash!

card details:

• finished size: 4.25 x 5.5 inches, CTMH Colonial White Card Bases
• patterned paper: CTMH "White Pines"
• stamps: CTMH "Twinkle" (S1510) - Oct SOTM, "Holly Jolly Christmas" (D1657)
• embellishments: CTMH red enamel gems, fern thick twine
