Inspiration doesnt normally hit me until mid november, I dont push it, I dont stress over it, I just wait, I know it'll come when its ready. I also tend to mass produce them, I say mass but this year will be the most I've needed to make in a while, a grand total of 28+2spare. I add a personalised message in each to show I'm thinking of the person. The 2 spare are just incase I recieve a card from someone I've ruled off my card list purely because our friendship has run its course & faded out.
Writing Christmas cards also gives me a chance to make sure all addresses are upto date, I shall be adding them onto my ipad this year & making sure I have a paper copy as well, just incase.
I always keep the card design a secret, though I did give a few clues away while out last weekend, until they've all been posted & in theory received, then I share them with you guys.
Heres last years...

Totally agree - handmade anything is always my favourite. I really should start doing Christmas cards too...
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday morning! Excellent cards. I do a half n half with cards, I tend to give mostly made cards, but some people do get shop bought....
ReplyDeleteI am trying to read your personality from the card and not knowing you gives some funny images:)
ReplyDeleteLove you cards!
