Been busy working on my advent project so have made a few less cards than last year.I have started to make them in batches to save time, just varying the colours.
Anyone else make cards?

I do mostly all of my cards, use a lot of die cut cheets or sheets I cut out myself. I always try and stock up at the craft shows as they often have them a bit cheaper. I do make a few cross stitched ones too but not this year. Too much going on to settle.

Your cards are beautiful and what a good idea to vary the colours. I usually make mine in batches too and will make a start on the 7 January and 9 February birthdays sometime soon.

They are just GORGEOUS! I've stitched about a dozen cards this year, but all different and all much smaller, simpler designs that yours.

Your cards are adorable, folk will love to receive them this Christmas. I used to make my own cards for years, sold them too but cross stitch is my first love and it took over, I still feel guilty buying cards from a shop but just do not have the time to make my own any more, maybe I should dig out my stuff again? Love to see more of your cards.

I love getting cards made by friends/family- it makes me feel special that they care enough to spend that time on me.

Yours are beautiful. :king:
