25 Days of Christmas 2015 - Day 9 - More Christmas Carol Cards!

Hi Crafty Bloggers!

We had so much fun drooling over Deb's 'A Christmas Carol' cards yesterday, I thought I'd stay on theme with some more cards featuring this collection. Today Guest Designer Fiona shows us some of her card creations........

Wow! Thanks Fiona!
I have to say, I'm loving this collection more each day. And I adore what our talented designers have created with it.

25 Days of Christmas 2015 - Day 8 - A Christmas Carol Cards

Hi Crafty Bloggers and welcome to another Inspiration Session! Today Guest Designer and Sometime Road Tester Deb from A Time to Stamp shows us some gorgeous (and very clever) cards featuring Graphic 45's A Christmas Carol.

Feast your eyes!..........

This Bendi Card was inspired by Lori Williams.
You can find instructions to create your own Bendi Card HERE

Love them?? I do!

It's funny, but when I first unpacked A Christmas Carol I have to say I wasn't very impressed (SHOCK HORROR I hear you say!!).... I thought the papers were too dark and busy.
However, the more projects I see from our talented Designers, the more I come to love this collection!

So thank you Deb for sharing. And you know what they say.... imitation is a form of flattery.....I think I may have to totally plagiarize a couple of your cards ;)

25 Days of Christmas 2015 - Day 7 - Holly Jolly Cards

Hello Crafty Bloggers - can you believe we are a week into December already! Yikes!! The days are rushing along, but it's not too late to bring out your craft supplies and create some hand-made Christmas cards.

Today Team Designer Leanne shows us a lovely set of cards created with Kaisercraft's Holly Jolly collection. Take a look and be inspired.......

Thank you Leanne - I adore every one of them! Though I'm a big fan of rip and tear, so maybe the last card is a little bit my favourite ;)

Which is YOUR favourite? And have you made any cards this year?

25 Days of Christmas 2015 - Day 6 - Christmas Pocket Letters

Hello Crafty Bloggers....... I hope you all had a great (and crafty) weekend :)

Pocket letters! Have you caught the bug? I've had the great honour of receiving a couple of these special works of art.... and always think to myself I should give them a go..... ONE DAY! (I just don't seem to have enough hours in my days at the moment...lol)

Today, Team Designer Sarah has two Christmas themed pocket letters to share with us.....

"The first pocket letter is sort of untraditional Christmas using purple, green, white and silver with lots of little embellishments and things."

"The second one is an old G45 paper (12 Days of Christmas) The paper was so pretty on its own that I kept it super simple by just adding some kindy glitz for sparkle on the berries and pears, and adding the strips of tartan on top and bottom and the twine at the side"

Wow, thank you Sarah! I love these. I adore the addition of the Julie Nutting Doll stamp on the first page. But I'm also a long-time fan of G45's 12 Days of Christmas. So I just can't decide on which is my favourite. Can I say both?

What do you think? Out of the box or Christmas traditional? What's your style? And have you sent or received any pocket letters?
