This is a simple quick design for making bulk cards. I like simple and elegant designs. What do you think?
Best wishes and thanks for reading, see you soon

Beautiful card. I love simply, but elegant designs myself. So, when will you be doing another youtube video? I’ve greatly enjoyed all the videos you’ve posted previously. I’m a Southern girl, and love to hear your lovely British way of talking.
Hi Jeanne
Thanks
I have been neglecting the You Tube tutorial front of late, have been poorley this year so have found those difficult to do.
I was thinking of a back to basics video series for rubber stamping. Inks, embossing that kind of thing. Lighting is a big problem and the videos come out very dark still
There are also a few tutorials in the pipeline for Holiday Gift ideas
Textile, papercrafting and bookbinding. Got a bit excited by my new sewing machine
There will be a tutorial or two going up next month, of the written kind. If you have anything in particular you would like to see a tutorial for just let me know and I’ll see what I can do.
Thanks for your compliments, best wishes

Hi Billie -
I can’t believe you already have a Christmas card completed! I’m just at the “what can I make this year” stage. I need something nice, but something I can replicate quite a few times. And I know me, as usual, I won’t get started until very late – LOL! I think you card is just lovely, really love the design.

Hi Elaine
Would you hate me if I said there are now about 24 friends matching the card above? Some still need glittering and assembling mind
Things got away from me last year and I ended up buying my cards {blushes}. So thought I’d start early this time. Just bought some more christmas stamps from QVC from Anna Griffin. HAD to be done, I just love Anna’s styles.
Do you have a dye cutting machine? There are some really nice shaped dies around by various manufacturers, if you have an intricate shape you don’t need to add much to the design to have a nice effect. Makes for quick card making for bulk numbers too
If you haven’t got a dye cutting machine…can I recommend the Cuttlebug as it will cut most manufacturers dies so you aren’t locked into a single brand of dye. (Sizzix grrr for that). And definately recommend Spellbinders for inspiring dies
Best wishes
