Good morning folks. Hope everyone is ok. My, wasn't yesterday a bleak and miserable day; well it certainly was in this bit of The Pond.
I'm at work today and at time of writing this (Saturday eve) I don't think we're in for great weather today either. On the upside, I'm in again tomorrow and then off for a few days as I use up my holiday before April. I'm hoping to get in a bit of crafting as I have been time poor of late.
Now for today's offering, I'm back to my Christmas cards, if you don't mind.
I still like to make the ones for posting, even though I am tight fisted, cheap, postage concious! So I was rooting through my stash for inspiration and came across this embossing folder and had a lightbulb moment.............emboss and bling!
Ingredients
Cream card
Couture Creations Rudolf embossing folder
Various colours and bits of bling
Simple, but effective I hope, great for batch making and still feeling that you have put a little love into a card for someone.
A friend did ask if I could make a few for them to use this year for their postal cards so I may tackle that sooner rather than later as I can see me forgetting until the last minute lol!!!
Talking of friends, Nesta has asked me to pass on her thanks for your best wishes.
She is much better now and thinks you're all lovely.......which of course you all are!
Well, that's me for today folks.
Hope this coming week treats you all kindly.
TTFN

Good morning Ang,sorry if you have bad weather again. Here I woke up to blue skies and sunshine. Haven't poked my head out yet but the sun is really warm through the window. Trouble is it makes me feel I should cut the grass. Seems to be getting higher and higher with the wet and mainly mild winter. Bad enough doing the last cut at the beginning if December without starting again in February. Very nice e embossing folder and as you say great for batch making. Don't work too hard today and enjoy your time off love from Jackie xx
ReplyDeleteVery elegant Christmas card. Like the touch of gems to make it 'pop'. Zx
ReplyDeleteGreat card Ang, love the idea for a Batch Making.
ReplyDeleteNow the thing is, will I remember this in 10 months time???

A great idea Ang, I'm with you when it comes to reducing postage costs. A good card for batch making. Just my changing the colours of the bling, you'd have a totally different look. Very windy last night ( the weather....not me lol !!) but nice ans sunny, but cold today. Janice X

Hello Ang, just perfect, love the embossing and the little bits of colour, I'm not into making fat card either this year unles of course I'm delivering them by hand. Dreich here today, speak soon, Kate x
ReplyDeleteHi Ang
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea - love the cards, especially the golden ones! By coincidence I made a Christmas card yesterday too! I made it for a blog challenge for The Craft Barn - three little stockings hanging up to reflect the theme of 'triplets'! When I first read the challenge, I thought it was all about Striplets! My offering would have been completely off key. Hope you have some good days off, enjoying yourself and spending some quality time crafting. Best wishes, Anne O
Wht a lovely embossing folder Ang. It makes a ver simple but stunning card.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe so many bloggers are on to Christmas cards .Great idea as it saves the last minute rush.

I'm on skinny Christmas too! Great make Ang. Jx
ReplyDeleteHi Ang,
ReplyDeletebrilliant cards and fab designs too.
Yes you are right these are such a good design for batch making, and no your not tight as postage charges are so over the top.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Beautiful cards Ang. What a great embossing folder, I have the Cuttlebug version of this and I'm pretty sure it's still in the original packaging...hmmmm. The bling is brilliant and bravo to you for keeping it postage friendly (my hubby wishes I had that same budget-friendly bone) tee hee. Wishes to you :)
ReplyDeleteHello Ang,
ReplyDeleteGreat batch making card and as we are all concious of postage charges, this is ideal. I am trying to make 6 C Cards a month to help alleviate the rush - managed that for January, but only 1 so far this month. But this is the answer to my prayers, thanks.

These look great, Ang. Ideal for batch making.
