Introduction!!

Seeing as we aren't having a cc in Dec and seeing as it is christmas, i thought we might have a week of christmas card making for anybody who hasn't made their cards yet, or just wants to make some fun funky cards for their family.

I will be giving instructions for 7 cards over 7 days starting Dec 7th!! Each of the cards will be completely different and fun to make. There will be no prizes, these are just for fun and you will have the satisfaction of knowing you have made these cards all by yourself!!

So who is going to join me in some fun card making??

Fingers crossed I will have a few days in between working to give them a go, so I am in!

Sounds great to me.

Sounds good, will have good intentions to be involved

I am expecting a pic like that this year!!!

My GD is the same she was 14 mths last Xmas and screamed her head off when getting her photo taken but my DIL still wanted the photo as it tells such a story. She is being brainwashed with all things Santa this year hoping she wont be so scared!

Love your avatar!!! It's smokin'! :bom:

Me! I'm only holidays VERY soon, and we aren't going anywhere. So I'll be here.

Hi.......I've never made Xmas cards, well any type of cards actually!

I am working really bad hours up to, and over Christmas.....I hope to pop in and get me started... I have seen so many nice cards already and I am jealous!! LOL

All the cards we will be making will be quick easy cards that look awesome!! If you have a spare 10 minutes, you will have no probs whipping some of these up!!

Now... i must admit, they are not all original designs, some i have seen while hopping around the net and thought they looked awesome and would like to give them a try, so i have made up my own version of them to share with everybody!! Like i said tho, they look awesome and are quick to make so i'm sure you will all be glad i found them!!

Hi Vickstar.. can you tell me what I will need PP, cardstock?...hmmm what else? All new to me..

I'm not going to give a list of exactly what you will need, cos it will be all about using what you have at hand and being creative!! There is also no tie line as to when you must complete these, so if you don't have something that you would like to add to your cards, you will have plenty of time to get it. I will say that i have used blank Kaiser cards for the base of my cards tho. I find them easiest to work with when making lots of cards!!

Thanx Vicki.... I'm really looking forward to it!!! I'll get myself organised...

If it helps... I prefer plain A5 card when makign my cards... more economical when bought in packs and I purchase it in multi packs so even better... colour ranges match everything perfectly!

Thats a good idea too!! I just like that the Kaiser cards come with matching envelopes!!
