Day 9 of Xmas card collection 2009:
I personally don't fancy using "peel-off" as main object but I did make some to try it out something new at that time. I somehow liked it and I made few versions of that. I think this is my BEST two above. Enjoy!

Day 8 of Xmas card collections 2009:
I used another "free-goodie" from card-crafting magazine. I think I made three versions of this. It was my quick card that I made in addition.

Day 6 of Xmas cards collections 2009:
This is one of my favourite stamp that I used for last year's cards. I think I made more than 30 or 40 cards using this stamp image (but all different!). Certainly enjoyed colouring that many presents and tried out many many different versions. I can actually go-on posting all "40" cards everyday until the rest of "September" but I thought it is boring.... so I am only posting my very BEST six favourites cards above - enjoy :) Hope you like it :)

Day 5 of Xmas card collections 2009:
I realised now that I DID tried second time and I think this one was a bit better than yesterday's card (white card version). I remember I gave this one to my neighour family and they loved it :)

Day 4 of Xmas card collections 2009:
A little different ones today - I had some "vellum xmas theme papers" in my stash that I had no idea how I was ever going to use it with.... I did spent good few mins (maybe hours...) trying to put the card together using the vellum papers. I had solid "santa with r.deers" stamp and few left over "peel-offs" so I sort of combined stamp & stick on the card and made it up above. I have to say, this was my "disaster" card that I made out of other 100's xmas cards... I did give it away though (I am not saying who!). As you can see, I tried my best here but just it didn't "fit" together,... at all.
I just loved the see-thru paper when I saw it in the local shop so I just bought it without thinking. That was a bad idea!
I still don't know how I am going to use the rest of the vellum papers... I might work on that for this year's xmas cards (well, will see).

Day 3 of Xmas card collections 2009:
After snowman & santa, I thought of Xmas tree. This was also my quick last-mins cards that I made in two colour versions; Red & Green, using magazine's free goodies "decoupage dies". I think I was suppose to do "3D" but didn't have time & needed more cards to make quickly in the last few days of Xmas day!!
I tried my very best on this cards looking a bit more elegance in it using gold border around the edges (peel-off), three little gems, and glittered trees on the backing papers. I still feel bad using "magazine's free goodies" for xmas cards... Sorry... Hope you like it....

Day 2 of Xmas card collections 2009:
Yesterday was Snowman so I thought Santa is next :) I made 100 cards last year but I ran out in the last few days so I had to make more with little time!!! This was my last cards that I made last year for the Xmas. Very quick card (as you can see) using some decoupage dies that came with card-crafting magazine last year (sorry - I feel bad..). I hardly use magazine's "free goodies" but I had no time on that day and made it in few mins! I actually made three more cards look alike above. Using "decoupage" wasn't bad idea I thought and I actually like the card above. I used silver glitter glue (Stickles) on the backing paper stars. I finish up the above card using my favourite green-coloured "Oh-My-Words" selection sentiments circle tag - I just LOVE them (you will also notice I used this for most of my Xmas cards!).

I know its not Xmas yet... but I thought I should start preparing this year's xmas cards and actually I have done few; I made 8 cards so far:) I am not going to post it on my blog yet but I also thought I should start posting my last year's hand-made xmas cards:) So here it starts for the next few days - happy early xmas & enjoy!!
Not my original idea above but I made this card :) I just LOVE this card with 3D effect - it really works and paper choice is fantastic! This was my very first xmas card that I have ever made in my life. I sent this card to my youngest sister-in-law. She loved it.
Oh my - I just fall in LOVE with stamp/ card!!! Stamp image is from Lilly of the Valley collection. I saw it on various magazine few months ago & I finally bought some :) Just Love them all!!!
First of all, the stamp image was quite big than I thought it would be! All of their stamp images are big. The stamps are unmounted so it was cheap (£3.85). Good. I think they only sell online so I don't think we can buy them in stores (well I have not seen it yet). I waited over 2 weeks until delivered to my door. I have to say their services are not good / very slow.... I bet they are having too much "tea breaks" in their business! I don't think I never waited this long for anything else before in my life! There was no comm. either so I never knew when I was going to get that stamps... I just waited....
Love their stamp images tho; I spent over an hour looking through all stamps. I DID added all stamps into the shopping basket so I had to delete so many when I got to the checkout! On the end, I did buy few.... (evil site - I better not go & surf there again too soon!!!).
I gave this card away already (it was very hard to let it go!!)... I hope they liked it...
Ah, I might make one for myself to keep it in my card collection :)
Ah, so nice!!!
