Christmas Cards 2019

This year I have decided that I am going to be very organised (I wonder how long that will last) and make Christmas cards throughout the year instead of frantically making them at the end of November.

To make this easier I have decided that I will make them in batches of three, with the same image and layout but different papers/colours.

For my first set of cards I have used a Snowman image from Di's Digis, which I have coloured with promarkers. The papers are Winter Wonderland from Crafter's Companion. I have used  a number of dies including Lil'inkers Stitched Squares, La La Land Stitched Elements and Poppystamps Stitched Buttons.
