While Hubby was taking our friend’s daughter to the train station today, I got the kit out, put a CD on and settled down to make some Christmas cards.
For the past couple of years I’d been struggling to find trimmings, but last year I found the Mother Load so I had lots to play with.
Earlier this week I’d gone through the box of cards received and there was quite a lot I could recycle.
In all, I made 21 cards, some from scratch and a few pinching an idea for a handmade card received from a neighbour in the next road last year. I’m quite pleased with the results and now have enough to fulfill my postal list. My next session on the subject will be for the local run, which will be at least another twenty. I shall also send some up to my Aunt as I did last year.
Here is a selection of day’s efforts.

They’re great, hand made Christmas cards are a real pleasure to receive 😊
Thank you!
What a great project, and productive!
I get a lot of pleasure making them.
I wish I were so creative.
Thank you. I was never creative at school, so this was a first for me when I joined a ladies group and it was one of the topics and demonstrations. I got hooked then. I don’t do anything really elaborate as my hands won’t let me, but I enjoy it and usually they turn out OK.
My best friend and her special needs daughter make cards together–I always feel honored and loved, to receive them.
That’s lovely!
Yes, it is💙
Lovely cards
thanks!
My pleasure
These Christmas cards are really beautiful!! Glad you found your inspiration!
I had a lot of fun and there are still loads I can make with the trimmings I have left which will see me through the next couple of years!
I love the scalloped edges of the cards!
I like them too as they make them just a little more special. I have some in cream but running out of those so need to get some more. The flat edges are nice for my Hello cards, but the price is the same so most of them now are scalloped.
Do you have one of the Cricut machines to cut things out? They are pretty cool but I don’t think I would really need it much.
I have a set of templates for cutting out squares, ovals and circles, but the actual blade is blunt now and can’t be replaced on its own.
I love your Christmas cards. I have sheets of the Victorian ephemera that I keep telling myself I will make into Christmas ornaments. Perhaps this will be the year.
You never know.
