The Most Wonderful Time of The Year 2025


 
Hello Folks,

I'm back again with the next batch of these special request Christmas Cards, another 10 of 150, I was asked for 50 flat simple ones, then another 50 of the next level & the last 50 more ornate, well we all know what postage costs are like, but each are within keeping of all, as much attention is paid to the more simple style to the more difficult.

As these days the inside has been matt & layered too, to match the outside, I have used White Rectangle Cards with Envelopes, Hobbycraft Mirrored Card Stock, Centura Pearl Fresh White Card Stock, Gemini, 2 Rubber Stamp Sentiments, Spectrum Noir Black Ink Pad, Spectrum Noir Clear Ink Pad, Spectrum Noir Christmas set Silent Night Ink Pad, Chloe's Embossing Powder Polished Silver Super Fine, Chloe's Sparkelious Glitter Cystral Crush (for the embossed snow flakes), Sara Davies Signature Collection Festive Wonder Snowy Corner Embossing Folder, Chloe's Bling Box Winter Wonderland Gem Stones, Heat Gun, various glues and other tools.
 
This makes 40 of 150 now completed, simple and elegant, until next time, do take care.
