Even though the first ever cards I started making were Christmas cards, I still find them one of the hardest to make. This is down to the fact that everything has pretty much been done before and its hard to put a new spin on things, especially when using all the popular images associated with Christmas.
So this week, I had a play around and came up with these two:
My sister is in love with the first design and that'll probably be the ones she'll give this year. She started this whole card thing off, so she can choose what she likes ;)
The second one is going to be tweaked a bit more as its not shouting "Christmas!" to me, i'll work on that. The position of the text is getting moved a little too.
I'm going to put together some more colours for the first one; maybe some dark reds and greens to go with the plum? (I love that colour right now!)
Back to the drawing board!

Ah lovely, I'm hoping to get my rear in gear and get some in my shop soon, well done for being proactive, these are clean and crisp and I love them. I'm a bit of a fan of yours, heehee...
I love the top one too! And am also a fan of purple :-) like the sound of it in other colours, think it would work well. I always look for cards which are a bit different....and often that means non 'traditional' colours. Saw a fab deep blue one last year x
Thank you both! ;)
Deep blue sounds nice, i've got a tealish blue/green on in the works and a golden one to compliment the purple. I'll see what other colours work :)
