Time for something a little more lighthearted today compared to my last two posts, I think. It's Christmas Eve, I've just finished my last shift of seven days straight at work and I've got a few more presents to wrap before the big day tomorrow so now's the perfect time to share some of the Christmas cards I've made this year.
I won't do a how-to post because it's
far too late for that, but I thought it would be nice to pop up a few festive card pictures- maybe they'll do for inspiration next year! This year I've really got into using embroidery on greetings cards after coming across
this excellent blog post on Pinterest so I decided to give it a go with some simple Christmas designs. I went for classic kraft card blanks with red, gold and green metallic thread, plus a few buttons and beads here and there. I really like how they turned out so I think I'll make more next year.

| Stitching over hand writing takes ages but I think it looks fab! |

Mummy and baby button snowmen for my lovely Mum.

I hope that you have a lovely Christmas and the very best time in 2016.
Merry Christmas!
