Mini Christmas Cards

By
I'm here with my promised tutorial - enjoy!

You will need: pre-scored card blanks, three colours of ink plus a Versamark pad, snowflake stamps and a large focal image stamp, gold embossing powder, heat tool, and baby wipes.
Take one of your card blanks and randomly stamp with the snowflakes using your three colours of ink.
Do this with all of your card blanks.
Then take your focal image stamp and stamp in the middle of the card using the Versamark pad. Cover with the gold embossing powder.
Shake of the excess and return to the pot. Heat the powder with a heat tool. I used small 3.5" x 3.5" cards - if you use small cards too take care not to burn your fingers.
When heated the powder becomes very shiny and smooth to the touch.
Continue with the rest of the cards.
Your cards are complete however you may like to add a simple sentiment or some self adhesive gems. These cards are very quick and simple to make - perfect if you have loads to make!

So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
