recent cards - the start of Christmas

Good afternoon everyone I hope you are having a nice weekend.

I have managed over the last couple of days to sit & work on some Christmas cards, which I had already started before I got this nuisance cold.  It (the cold) started to go so I began to feel a bit better - now it is back again.  It has made me quite tired & so I can only sit & work for short sessions at a time.

Here are my cards;

They all use the same components - but not identical layout.

A closer look at 3 of them.

Those die-cut holly sprays were difficult to deal with.  At first I just die cut one & used wet glue to apply it to the card.  It did stick but was fiddly especially trying to avoid getting glue all over the cards.

Next I die-cut them all using stick-it.  I thought that would better for the fiddly areas - oh how wrong can you be.  When I peeled off the backing the little bits didn't always come away so then I had to hold them & remove piece by piece.  I have never got so sticky.  Still, it all worked OK in the end, & these are the results.

The baubles are some dies I have had for some time & the card I found at The Range -  small pads for about 1-99.  They are just the right side for backing sheets as well.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

'Bye for now.
