A couple more...

...Christmas cards.

Black - White - Glitter...

I'll warn you now, these are not the best photos in the world - I always struggle with black and sparkly stuff.
Whilst I was thinking about Christmas cards I did another couple of 'easily postable' ones.
I do like borders - whether they be punched, stick-on...whatever, and whilst playing the other evening I found the snowflake border that you see at the bottom of this card. A few peel-off snowflakes dotted around the place and a simple sentiment and there you go - one completed card. So quick and easy and nice and flat for posting.
Another border on this one but this time I found some holographic stickers that included a row of snow/icicles. Although the photos aren't great, the twinkly bits really do show up against the black card. Again, a nice flat card to help keep the post costs down.

Isn't it sad that we now have to think in these terms. Yes, from a business point of view Christmas is the busiest time of the year for the postal service so you can see why they want to 'cash in' but it just seems such a shame that these soring costs make us crafters stop and think twice about what we are making if there is going to be post involved.

On the plus side...I have made these (and the 3 in the earlier post) from stash I already had so I am making an effort to be good and use some of that mountain that seems to have taken over the house LOL.........................................
