Well nearly…
Today I had an amazing charity shop find..
It’s a tiny Christmas tree!
In my excitement I was inspired to make a Christmas themed post to show some of my previous Xmas card designs. Whether I’ll do any new designs this year is yet to be seen, mostly it will depend if I can fit it in my busy schedule of being unemployed, sorting the house and generally socialising (also I am working on a secret project).
Anyway here is 2011’s christmas card…
Rather than doing lots of different designs I opted for one design with 3 different coloured versions. Above is the blue version, there were also pink and green versions. I liked how all the different snowmen had their own quirks and personalities. There is still one snowman to be left to be made and you can work out a bit about his personality and imagine how he’ll look from the items waiting ready to build him.
I also made a few gift tags that I used on presents last year.
My favourite is the guy with the saucepan on his head
They looked really good tied on with string onto presents wrapped in brown paper. The tricky part was getting the holes central is I only had a standard hole punch rather than a single puncher – I think I might invest this year.
