Last batch!


Hi, I'm back and with one I made earlier, in fact it was  my last batch of Christmas cards.   Again a very simple make, but when there's lots to make at this time of the year, that's what's needed.  The embossing folder and poinsettia are both Tim Holtz and the greeting is from a set of Katy Sue clear stamps, bought last year and never used.
Thanks for all the lovely comments on my last few makes, I really do appreciate them, and I hope to catch up with everyone over the next few days as I resume a 'normal' life. The last couple of days have been a whirlwind of washing, (I always think it looks strange when there's a line full of bikinis, shorts and tee shirts etc. in the winter)  the tree is up, and the house decorated, just wish I felt a bit more Christmassy!
Hope you all have a good Sunday, I'm off to Northumberland today,  a friend is having a Christmas Lunch party, should be a good day and hopefully give me that Christmas feeling.

Tattered Poinsettia

Hello, its great that you've stopped by, I hope you're all having a good weekend.  I've managed to finish another batch of  Christmas Cards using the Tattered Poinsettia die I bought couple of weeks ago and  I've cut quite a lot as I've sat watching t.v.  The DP was stamped with Versamark and then brushed with Perfect Pearls Bronz,  tag is embossed with the CB script folder and I highlighted the script with a gold ink pad, and  Iced Spruce to distress the edges.  The poinsettia was coloured with Fired Brick and Peeled paint DIs. the die cut is a little Sizzix die , quite a quick card, so I made a few.

Feel the need now to do something pretty, before I start putting the next batch together, it's surprising how much double sided tape I used while watching t.v and it doesn't take that much concentration to do  either.

It's the last of Downton tonight, so I know where I will be at 9 o'colock, wonder if there will be another 'cliff-hanger' ending.
