A Christmas collection



Good morning Peeps, I thought I would do an early post to share a few of the Christmas cards I have made with Ignacio's Nicecrane Designs. Whilst I have not been up to holding stamps properly his images along with some dies have been a blessing as they have allowed me to keep creating.


And with Christmas getting closer by the day I have managed to get a few into the seasonal basket in readiness and I would recommend them to all of you who have a mountain of Crimbo cards to make as they offer the ability to create a varied selection of cards.



And a final one.



Thanks for popping in and there are thumbnail links to the image sheets I have used below.

    Fabulous Crimbo cards Brenda ! Love the vintage images and the way you have displayed them in beautiful frames.
    The Nicecrane images are gorgeous, and ideal if you have a huge amount of cards to make.

    Brenda these are all wow cards! I love how you use these images yet still keep to your style - absolutely gorgeous cards, especially love that last one. I have used one of my Joanna Sheen CD's to make some quick and special cards for my mum to give and I love the fact that I can do that for her at minimal cost and it doesn't take as long as stamping, colouring and designing a card for a stamped image. Very happy I started my Christmas cards earlier this year as I only have a few more to do. Rest well xx

    These turned out amazing! Good job Brenda.
    I feel bad cause I have a question, please don't answer until you're feeling better, maybe someone else will help out!
    I wanted to know if the little bows & stars are dies? And from who!

    A lovely collection which really shows what can be done using quality images. I love those hanging stars & the way you have used lace or ribbon to embellish. I think my favourite is the arch beacuse of your detail with the lace. I rather like your Santa Claus too - the way that you used trellis work both on the background panel & on the image panel's frame.
    Take care
    Much love

    Fabulous Christmas cards Brenda - i love them all!! I have to apologise. I accidentally entered a card into the Allsorts challenge that I published before the challenge went live. Thought I was helping you out with the numbers but just have to get it wrong lol! Anyway, feel free to delete it if you want. I can empathise with having to change crafting methods. I'm no good with scissors any more, but I can heartily recommend the big shot pro if you haven't already got one :-)) Wishing you well and stay safe in tonight's storm. Maddy x

    Gorgeous cards with these Nicecrane designs. The star dies are amazing and loving the antique mettalic look DP notes.

    Looking at this card has made me realize that I should ask my newly retired (and a bit bored) DH to roll some dies off for me. I find turning the wheel on my big Shot too hard when my hands are flared up. I should sit him down with a page of page and a die...one at a time! See, I have solved part of our painful tasks!
