1st Batch of Xmas Cards 2013

Hi Folks,

Here is the first batch of Christmas cards that I have got to show you.  Before Christmas I decided to be very good and purchase plenty of blank white A4 card stock, I then worked out how many cards I would need for the next Christmas and with this white card stock made the blank cards.  My next task was to decide on layouts and images for these cards which I have dealt with 60 of them and these are all in various stages of completion.  Of all these blank cards I have batched up into batches of 5 cards to make it easier and decided I need to try to complete a batch a week.

So this is my first, I have used white card stock, First Edition Christmas Village patterned papers x 1 per card, Coredination Raspberry card stock, Coredination Heartfelt card stock, Bazzill Basics card stock, Lace, Gem Stones, Sentiments to be added at a later stage, X Cut Corner Punch, Cuttlebug, Embossing Folder Swiss Dots, Spellbinders Floral Diecut, Spellbinders Snowflake, Brads, Spectrum Noir Pens Numbers FS2, FS3, TN3, PP1, 0, EB1, EB2, GB8, GB10, TN7, CR8, CR10, PR1, PP3, PL1, BP2 and of course a lovely rubber stamped image from Crafts and Me called Catching Snowflakes.

Well that's it for me for now and until next time do take, happy crafting, lol
