Paddle Boarding Santa
I asked my husband what he would like to see on his Christmas card this year, he laughed and said "Something to do with paddle boarding"
Well ho ho ho, look what I found in Making Cards magazine, the perfect image. Never challenge a Crafter!
Sentiment dies by Creative Expressions, finished card is 8 x 8 inches.

More Maja Elves
More cards made using the Maja Design papers, as mentioned in yesterday's post.
I tried to make each card different in some way.

Christmas Elves
Earlier in the year I visited a real-life craft shop (yes it was a highlight of 2021 for me!)
I bought a single sheet of Christmas elf toppers, and a single sheet of coordinating patterned paper, by Maja design.
When I eventually started making my Christmas cards I wondered why on Earth I'd only bought one sheet of each. The toppers were so easy to use, the patterned paper ended up being 'gutted' so I could get maximum cards from it. I added other papers from my existing stash plus various dies, stamps and sentiments.

Poinsettias
I made these cards for my craft club ladies. We haven't actually had a club since March 2020 but maybe 2022 will be kind to us?
I used Lisa Horton poinsettias embossing folder with matching die, and added some gilding wax.
I tried to mix it up a bit, using different sentiment dies and colours, but the base is the same for each card.

Peace
I thought I ought to start making some Christmas cards 😁 no rush...
This card was made with Reverend Sheena in mind, the bird die was free with a craft magazine.
