"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..."

I use to make cards. Honestly, a ridiculous amount of cards. But for a variety of reasons, I stopped for a long time, other than the occasional special occasion. Well this year, I'm determined to get back into it and have challenges myself to make all handmade Christmas cards.

I'd decided that having 3 weeks off in April/May was the perfect time to re-organise all my craft stuff and get back on the wagon... that two weeks doesn't actually start 'til Saturday, but on account of basically not leaving the house in weeks, other than work, well... no time like the present. So I present (hell but English is weird) my first card in... a really long time, lol!



I used Vintage Christmas stamps that came free with a magazine a looooong time ago and coloured with my promarkers - which colour me impressed not so much as a little dried up after 2+ years with very little to no use! - on a red card base.
Hopefully I remembered how this challenge thing works and didn't mess it up, but if there are any problems, mods just let me know!

Have A Great Day

How cute is this wee pupper from digi doodle shop. I've had him cut out waiting for me to decide what to do with him for aaaaages! I finally coloured him with my promarkers and decided on this side stepper card. The various elements were cut on my cameo. The paper is from the Nit Wit Paws-ativity collection. I stamped and cut the sentiment by hand and added it to the tree with a bit of twine, to make it look kinda like a swing (and it does swing, side to side at least, lol).

Meowy Christmas Kitty

  I picked this from All Dressed Up after winning two of their beautiful images from an Outlawz challenge. Friends of mine just got a new kitten and this will be perfect for them for xmas. I coloured the image with my promarkers and used papers from hobbycrafts traditional chrismtas pack. The stocking embellishment came from the matching embellishment set. The sentiment was stamped from a set I was given a while ago.

A couple of men's cards...

This first one was made for my brother in law, who is a keen bowler. My sister, spends her summers complaining she's a bowls widow normally - this year she might just wish she was, lol! I got the fab image from Polkadoodles, coloured with my promarkers. The paper is from Jen Hadfield, on a kraft card base. Challenges: - A Bit More Time To Craft Challenge - #114, Anything Goes - Daisy Chain Challenge - #40, Birthday This one could do for several of my friends, I have a lot of gamers in my life, not sure how that happened, as until a few years ago I'd never owned a gaming system (yes I now own a PS3 and 4). I cut the die on my silhouette and the papers came from papermania's happy days pack. A bit of blue ribbon from my stash and a sentiment stamp from teddy bo & co, coloured in the buttons with promarkers just to round it off.
