We've had a Christmas workshop (another one soon), who's started on their Christmas cards? Is anyone going with a particular theme, or make them as they come?

Last year I picked a few designs and made several of each, so I'll probably do the same again with different designs. I should really get started soon.....it's only 20 weeks away

I've done a few but I need to get moving on them! I need to come up with a design that I can do lots of in one go for people at work etc, it takes too long to do individual ones for everyone.

We made start on xmas cards, done about 15 up to now, I like doing decoupage with lots of glitter and sparkle, I like using "cutie" themes best although I do like snowy themes too. DD is more adventurous, she does xmas waterfall cards and ones with moving bits and bobs, she likes glitter too!!
I got some Kanban xmas toppers from fairytips this week and they are gorgeous, they are cutie ones and some snowy post boxes, and a "Taj Mahal" type building all rainbowy and glittery.

And thanks Dee only 20weeks to xmas, thanks for bringing that to our attention

I tend to favour contemporary designs, I like clean lines and they tend to be quicker too! I do like glitter though, which reminds me I need some red Stickles...

i like to wait for my week off in dec, then i get them done, i cant do em in the middle of summer!
i have been collecting xmas bits for ages so i should have plenty to go at.

Been busy with the puff paint this morning... snow everywhere

I was on the puff paint last night....loving it. I've made some xmas cards but they're being stuck in an album as samples so people at work can order them and I'll have ideas aswell when it gets a bit closer lol.

I didn't get on with the puff paint, too unpredictable for my liking!

Puff paint??? I never heard of it!! Do explain to us not very clever crafters

Puff paint is amazing.....I love it, although I find it works better on smaller areas than large ones. I've just used the white puff paint on some santa claus stamped cards I've done and it just finishes it off nicely

Moving along swiftly with my xmas cards now......yay
