I'm scratching my head for inspiraton for a christmas card for my Mum and ended up this morning just doing a few general ones for the residents in her care home.

I find the easiest way to get some ideas it to get out some paper and pencil crayons and design the card first. That way, ideas are running through my head and I usually end up with 2 or 3 designs to work with (some things don't work together but inspire another card)


You get this immense satisfaction looking at the end product and comparing it to the original, scribbly design

I also write a little list of all things christmassy. I fnd it really helps.

Purple - fantastic cards they are really nice. love the alien one.

Debsy - sorry I can't help you. I have a paper trimmer that I got from the pound shop. That and my craft knife and metal ruler are enough for me.

All your cards are fab, and having been bitten by the bug, here are a few of the ones I have done recently.





I'm pleased with how they have come out.
