Some gift cards I made for Christmas, all using papers and images from Polkadoodles,
the reindeer cards using the Jingle Jangle Christmas CD, with the addition of glitter glue, organza ribbon, gingham ribbon and sticky pearls.
The gingerbread men and gingham paper are from the Sundae of Seasons CD, and I tied orange garden string down the side.
All the cards have a pocket on the front, containing a tiny envelope with a gift inside.

Tealite Holder Card
A Christmas tealite holder card I made for a friend, the instructions for it are on this DVD from Crafter's Companion.
The papers and reindeer stamp were from magazines, the snowflakes are punched out, glittered and card candi added to the centres.
I matted the patterned paper onto green bazzil card, stuck the reindeer onto a scalloped oval cut with a Spellbinders die which I embossed with a Cuttlebug swiss dots folder, and added a couple of raffia bows.
And here's the box I made for it, the dotty paper was also a freebie from a magazine.

Knitted Stocking Cards
I knitted the little stockings and stuck them onto a scalloped oval cut from a Spellbinders die and embossed with the Cuttlebug snowflakes folder. The holly paper came with a magazine last year.
I sewed a star shape on this one with glittery thread, and tied the same thread round the card,
and on this one I stitched a button and added some organza ribbon.
Here's how I made the stockings:
With 3mm needles and double knitting wool cast on 10 sts and work 6 rows in garter stitch (every row knit).
Next row - cast off 1 st at beginning of row.
Next row - knit together last 2 sts at end of row.
Next row - cast off 1 st at beginning of row.
Next row - knit together last 2 sts at end of row.
You now have 6 sts.
Knit 11 rows in garter stitch, then knit 6 rows with 1 strand of white double knitting wool and 1 strand of glittery yarn. Cast off.
Finish off by sewing a button in the centre or embroider a star in glittery yarn.

50th Birthday Cards
A couple of cards I made for a friend's 50th birthday.
For this one I used the oval handbag template from Anna Marie Designs CD Volume 2. The knitted paper is from the Furry Friends CD from Joanna Sheen.
For the handle I used brown wire and wrapped satin ribbon and Patons Lush knitting yarn around it and added a butterfly charm, punched butterflies and computer printed sentiment.
I'd like to enter this into the Crafty Creations challenge Anything But a Square.
The image and papers on this one are also from the Furry Friends CD, the image is matted on blue shiny cuttlebug embossed paper. The wording is computer printed, I went over it with a Sakura pen to give it some sparkle but this doesn't show up too well on the photos.
I'd like to enter both of these into Make It Monday's Linky Party #54.
