More The Francoise Collection - Christmas Graffiti

Sometime these are my favourite cards, when you have bits lying about because you have not tidied up before starting again, or is that just me?

When I was doing the post for Mens Christmas cards I had the Graffiti Christmas printed and just lying there. When I cut my Dreamweaver Nested Stockings for my Sketch post I had some extra stockings cut!

I just added a row of brads to hang my stockings and I rather like this card too.

I have added holly leaves to this one the leaves come from a very very old stamp set from the Franocise Collection Wired For Christmas.

This I think is my favourite with the none traditional feel of the colour it is fun and I do live those mini light bulbs from Woodware.

This on is just a funny shape, and I had not used my Tag Top Punch for a least a week!

Hope you like my cards with extra bits today!

Black and White Christmas

A very simple black and white Christmas card

This would be a good male card, because of the simple black and white theme.

I started with the background and used a very dirty Watermark Pad from ClearSnap and a Jumbo Dauber.

around the edge a page of black and white from the 8 x 8 Tartan Pad and embossed it in silver. Then I distressed the edges with the Woodware Scruffer.

I usually use the scruffer before I emboss but this time I did it after to give a contrast.

I have used one of the stamps from the Jane Gill set Christmas Cheer that has five thoughtful Christmas verses. The card is the Black Textura 12 x 12 and I have used the Tag Top Punch, I really don't know what I did before I had these punches.

I have used the Stampendous Spoonful of Snow embossing powder kit on a snowflake brad.

A very simple and fast card that you could do in any colour of tartan if you don't think black and white are Christmasy.

If you can't find Woodware stamps in the US why not ask your local store about them they can find them all on the Woodware web-site.

 or  Woodware Stamps are available from Notions Marketing in the US check with them for your nearest stockist.
