Christmas cards - Round 2

Yesterday was a day of unexpected errands... and so even though I had kind of set my mind to make some cards, that didn't happen. Well, I learn fast and so before I got drowned in today's chores, I started off my little project the minute I came back from my morning walk. Now what do you think of this lot? Not bad, right? ;-D ... considering I have this much to show after an hour plus of cutting and pasting :-)


My Red Ribbon series...


The Green Ribbon series...

There were also two or three random ones... those that didn't quite fit into either series! You can see I tried out my punched patterns from the Penang trip. I also downloaded a new font (Baroque Script) for the greetings. I was hoping to find some really fancy curly swirly stuff but this was the best of the lot I googled out. I'm still not quite happy with how the letters turned out so if you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them. Meanwhile, I'll give this craft a rest. I hope to sneak in some time later to sort out my quilting projects. Honestly, my fabrics and blocks are all over the place and I'm expecting guests this weekend (Happy spring cleaning to me! LOL!!!) Right, have a good day and thanks for dropping by.

Christmas cards - Round 1

Here are the Christmas cards I made before my Penang trip. I experimented with a variety of colored cards, tried several different layouts and used all kinds of ribbons and laces to concoct these designs.


...my favourite ...and its message inside

This set is what I call my Wise Men series :-)

I must say this is not the end. As you can see, I've yet to try out my punched out borders from my Penang trip. Maybe I should do something about those tomorrow...
