Hello to everyone and this final weekend before Mr. and Mrs. Christmas come calling. I'm glad to say the house is now in full festive attire and a sprinkling of snow yesterday definitely helped improve the mood. I know it's all slushy now, but it was a nice way to walk home from work and think about the holidays...and all the shopping I still haven't done!!!
Just sharing a few very quick and easy cards... Just some simple but modern designs created with my circle punches. I've only made a small number of cards this year but I have a few friends that don't really like the traditional sort so I had to think and make quick! So I dug out my punches and some off cuts of Chrimbo design paper...
I love playing with circles as there's so much you can do with them. I really like this polka paper and the unusual blue tones - kind of snowy and a little bit festive... I just punched lots of different circles, punched again to create a few retro hoops I inked the circle edges! I literally just threw these on the card and went with how they fell! Wish I was always so speedy.
Just played around with the layouts and stamped my sentiment in a similar coloured ink. Job done!
So if you are still on your card marathon, maybe this is a quick idea for you to play around with. You could use any paper - old music, old cards, gift wrapping...!
I've also finished my DT pieces for Simon Says Stamp & Show which I will share on Monday! Here's a sneak preview! Now I'm off for a swim and then a bit more shopping in my lovely home town of Ludlow! Hope all is going well with everyone out there... Keep Calm and Stay Merry! See you Monday...
Sarah.
