I know it's been a LONG time since my last post, but I have been rushed off my feet between my full time job, creating a stock of cards for my very first Craft Fair, organising family days out and get-togethers between Bristol & Wales and the endless list of things we women do, my blog has sadly been neglected.
But... I am here today to inundate you with photos of my first batch of Christmas cards, which I sold 80% of during the Craft Fair.
So thank you to everyone who has supported and inspired me over the last few weeks (ladies, you know who you are!) and I would also like to 'Thank' in advance any of you delightful people I met in Keynsham on Sunday who purhcased my cards, complimented my designs and took my contact details.
It really meant a lot! So enough of my babbling and on to the cards...
This little set of cards was created using my newly purhcased Christmas Button Bits stamp set, cardstock and Buttons by PapertryInk. These ladies are truly outstanding! They all have such a flair for unique design and an eye for unbeatable quality! I shall certainly be purchasing more!!
This is one of may favourites and was inspired entirely by one of the amazingly talented PTI Design Team. This was also my very first attempt at embossing! So many Thanks to Clare for that! (Happy Claps all round!)
As you can all undoubtedly see, i have a bit of an addiction to Kraft as well at the moment, but it just blends so deliciously with the Christmas colours...!
So a quickie run-through for all the fatastic materials i've have the pleasure of using for these cards are...
Stamps: Christmas Button Bits - PTI
Cardstock: Pure Poppy, Scarlet Jewel, Ripe Advocado, Berry Sorbet - PTI & Kraft by Bazzil.
Buttons: Ripe Advocado, Pure Poppy, Scarlet Jewel, Berry Sorbet - PTI
Ribbons: Random bits from local fabric store.
If anyone have any comments, questions or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment.
