Default Christmas Card ideas
Anyone have any ideas for simple Christmas cards I can make easily and in bulk?? I've tried embossing but was useless at it! I did my own last year but I'm all out of ideas for this year. Heeelp!

we've had scruffs (the dog) with reindeer antlers on before
and we did try both kids in pjs looking at the fire this year but they wouldnt come out. Very easy and cheap to do though

Photos are quite nice.

Otherwise a craft shop like Hobbycraft have lots of ideas. Lakeland do stuff for Christmas cards too.

There are some ideas for cards on here:

Thanks all. Claire I'd really appreciate seeing yours. I love to receive photos on cards but I don't think anyone will appreciate seeing my and DH's ugly mugs on a card, a good idea for when we have kids though!! A friend had her three dressed up as the three wise men last year and looked really adorable. The hobby craft ones look lovely, I'll have a good look over the weekend as I'm hoping to get going and make them next week.

Claire your cards are amazing!!

I started doing some of my Christmas ones last night and got so into it that I didn't get to bed until 2.45am!! Not sure how I got up for work today. I had such a good time that I can't wait to go home tonight to carry on and do some more.

I've promised to give some to sell at a charity coffee morning next month but although I think they're fine to send to friends, I'm not really sure I can actually charge money for them, then again it is for charity. I'll try and attach photos over the weekend to see what you think.

Claire, I didn't get the peel offs in Wales, they're from a place called Brimstage Hall near Clatterbridge!

I'll let you know when I'm going next and will look for some for you if you still want some.
