Cards and Hangars

I spent quite a fruitful afternoon yesterday making Christmas cards, a little early I know. but this year I am having to do all my Christmas preparation early.  By doing all this now it does mean that I can spend two glorious weeks with Bertie my Grandson without having to worry about cards and such. 

I have used Harris Tweed one of my favourite fabrics of all time.  I cut a small rectangle and frayed the edges and then a triangle fraying that also to look like a tree and then put a star embellishment on the top.

Simple but effective...

 

I am not printing the centres either as I write a letter to my friends filling them in with all our family news.  The card is more of a notelet, as I have said before simple but effective.

 

I have also painted a hangar for each of the boys for the wedding and stamped them with a dinosaur stamp from the Cath Kidston range.  Not very wedding like but perfect for three little boys who love dinosaurs.

 

Finished off with a pre-cut dinosaur and their name added.

 

We are going down to my daughters tomorrow for the suit fittings for the wedding and to meet some of Matthews family so that should be nice.  Sunday is the village craft fair to which I have a table booked, a chance to catch up with some friends and news of local events.  What have you got planned?

 

See you soon.
