Decoupage!


I had a lovely day yesterday, made 5 cards, finished a jigsaw we started on Saturday and read my book. Graham also had a great time on the water.

I said I was going to get more Christmas cards made and of the 5 cards I made, 4 of them are Christmas cards. I found an old Dovecraft paper and decoupage pack. I was sent it to use for a magazine commission and the rest of the pack has been sitting unused for a few years. So I thought why not use it. The papers are lovely and the images are sweet and they will make a useful addition to my cards for sale.  Talking of which I have booked my first craft fair for the year next month. I also have one booked in November and hope to book a few more for Christmas.

I used Dovecraft adhesive glitter card with some Joy tree dies and a sentiment from LOTV.  I use Crafter's Companion Collal glue for decoupaging as it allows me to round the layers better than using foam pads.

I have posts scheduled for every day until Friday so far so pop back tomorrow and if you would like to leave a comment it would be very much appreciated.

Sounds like you had a wonderful day yesterday! I really like the decoupaging look on your Christmas card. You once again have motivated me to get going on those Christmas cards. It is a great time to start ...because before you know it...the holiday season will be here!

I love blue and white for Christmas cards and a very cute topper.
I haven't seen any adverts for Craft Fairs around here yet. Just looking forward to finding some, as I need to get some money for my charities. Hugs, Carol S.xxx
