Morning readers,
I've a make to share with you today ... I have let myself fall woefully behind with my Christmas card making and the only way forward (if I want to finish in time) is to make a couple of batches to allow me to "catch up", so .... here's a batch of SIX, in progress. I was well ahead of myself in March but didn't get the chance in April (poorly) or May (vacation) and then my mojo went AWOL - doesn't take long to fall behind, does it?
 |
| Ink colouring in progress - like watching paint/ink dry - literally! Thank heavens for tea! |
And then ... the finished card / batch of six
 |
| ONE of the batch of six C6 cards |
 |
| The fronts and backs of my cards and envelopes |
 |
| Pretty cards all in a row! |
Materials used:
- Six times white, 250gsm, C6 cards and envelopes
- Six sets of: white card and mid blue textured card, cut for my card fronts, inserts and matting layers

- MFT sentiment (from CS.723 "Holiday cheers") stamped using Versafine Clair paradise ink

A great batch of cards Kathy and I love the bright yellow stars and the fun sentiment with the blue matted layer which complements it perfectly. x
Brilliant batch of Christmas cards & matching envelopes. That’s you caught up a bit more then! Carry on Sgt Major! Xxx
These are great! I like that you made matching envelopes as well!

Great design and good for catching up.
A great batch of Christmas cards, Kathy. I first thing I noticed in your photo is the table covering, which is exactly the same as mine…… we’ve obviously both got the same good taste! 🤣 xx
Good job, Kathy! It's a fun design and I love the bright yellow! I need to do the same on this side of the pond and when I get caught up, I need to look around and see what I can use for batch-making. Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS and to get going on those Chrissie cards! (Sorry for the late visit.) Hugs, Darnell
