The best thing about creating a One Layer Card (other than the challenge of creating exactly what you want in only one layer) is that it is easy to post and with crossed fingers it will arrive at it’s final destination in one piece and without any extra postage cost.

I’ll be back next week with the final in this series!

I’m so excited to be back this year with my Same but Different Christmas Card Series.  If you were here last year then you know that this series can contain many different ideas / themes / styles…  well, almost as long as it is the ‘Same but Different’ .

Today I thought I would kick things off with a theme, so lots of different products and every card unique but all with a similar theme and colour palette, all to make creating so much quicker and easier.

Back to Colour with ‘U’ today and I’ve had this little stamp floating in my ‘to do’ basket for a while now and today was the day!  So out came the Prisma’s and the Polychromos pencils and she was such a joy to colour.  I decided to film, so you could watch the process.

Back with another 6 Christmas cards and today is all about using the supplies that I have at hand (ie they may no longer be available but still very easy to replicate).  And keeping with the retro Christmas theme with some ‘non- Christmassy’ papers and a very cas design which is very easy to make multiples of.

Today I’m sharing a card that was published with the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine where the call was to mask a space for sentiments.  A little different to my usual style, but I really did have fun creating the sentiment panel and the matching embossed border.

Back today with another card for Scrapbook Boutique.  How are things going on the Christmas card front in your house? Here is a very simple idea to make those ‘last second’ cards, you know, the ones that your husband comes home and says ‘can you just make me….. ‘ and it’s usually about 10 or so cards lol.
