A Christmas Wish cards

Good evening folks

Well I didn't manage to post to my blog yestereday.  I was making some Christmas cards and also doing a bit of colouring practise but the daylight disappeared too quickly for my liking!  Anyway I put the finishing touches to the cards this afternoon so thought I would show them to you this evening.

All of these cards were made using the cd "A Christmas Wish" from Cupcake Crafting.  I had previously printed off some toppers and backing papers from this cd and decided it was time I made some of them up into cards.  I designed my own inserts for the cards using Serif Craft Artist.  I could have printed off inserts from the cd but wanted the papers on the inserts to match each individual card.
I used computer generated sentiments and some card candi to finish off the cards.
Here are the first two


Here is an example of a colourful matching insert


Some more square ones





And finally three A6 ones


That's it for this evening - I haven't had much time to be online this weekend - hubby is on his day's off so I don't know where the time goes to.

Thank you for dropping in.
