Het is haast niet te geloven dat het vandaag alweer woensdag is. Zeker de afgelopen week is voorbij gevlogen. Afgelopen weekend kregen we vrienden uit Engeland te logeren waarmee we Sinkerklaas hebben gevierd. Ik heb dus vorige week de laatste pakjes en gedichten verzorgd. Een mooi moment om helemaal in de december stemming te komen, maar alle Kerstkaarten blijven natuurlijk gewoon liggen. Gelukkig bracht mijn vriendin Charry allerlei Kerst-knutselspulletjes mee uit de UK en hielp ze mij ook met het bedenken van een aantal nieuwe ideeen voor mijn Kerstkaarten (deze zul je in een van de latere blogberichten tegen gaan komen).
I can’t believe today it’s Wednesday again, especially as the last week has just flown by. Some friends from the
But first my desk for today. It’s not so very interesting, because I’ve dumped all my Christmas crafty goodies from Charry right on top. You can see a Craft Magazine, some Christmas stickers and lovely reindeer stamps from Hobby Art (especialy for my hubby :-D). In the background you can see we’ve exchanged our stamped images. On top of all these beautiful materials Charry brought something else with her, but that’s a secret for now. When I've finish some cards with it I will reveal it to you, but that could take another few weeks :-D
Last week I showed you all the red Christmas cards. This week, as you read above, I'm showing the blue ones. As I've said before, cute stamps are my favourite at Christmas time. On this card you can see a ‘Snoesje' stamp. It’s not really a Christmas card, but we do all hope for a white Christmas.
Op deze kaart is een envelop gemaakt met daarin twee tags. Deze tags vertellen ons wat we allemaal willen met Kerst en op de achterkant staat een kort wintergedichtje geschreven. De 'Snoesje' stempel is ingekleurd met Coloursoft kleurpotloden en reukloze terpentine.
On this card you can see an envelop with two tags in it. These tags tell of what we'd like for Christmas and at the backside there's a small winter verse. The ‘Snoesje’ stamp is coloured with Coloursoft pencils and Sensodor.
De volgende twee kaarten zijn wat meer basic, maar nog steeds erg mooi om in je brievenbus te vinden. De eerste is hoofdzakelijk gemaakt van Basic Grey papier aan elkaar genaaid met een naaimachine.
The next two cards are more basic, but still very nice to find in your letterbox. The first one is made mainly from Basic Grey paper joined together on a sewing machine.
De tweede is meer een gestempelde kaart. Op de twee stukjes papier vind je een 'button' met een Kerstgroet. Deze is gestempeld, gekleurd met Distress inkt en afgewerkt met een laagje Stickles. De ijssterren zijn eerst wit geembossed en vervolgens uitgeknipt en verhoogd opgeplakt. Een klein glinsterende sticker in het midden zorgt voor de final touch.
The second one is a more of a stamped card. On the two pieces of paper there's a ‘button’ with a Christmas message. This one is stamped, coloured with Distress Ink and a layer Stickles. The ice crystals have first been embossed in white, then cut out and glued with added height. A small glitter sticker gives the final touch.
En na al deze kaarten wilde ik ook nog iets totaal anders maken voor een speciaal persoon. Iets echt explosiefs...
After making all these cards I want to make something completely different for a special person. Something really explosive…
The box is 2 inches square and the paper I’ve used is by Graphic 45.
Dat is het dan voor vandaag. ik ga weer gauw verder met alle andere dingen die nog gemaakt moeten worden voor Kerst... nog 2,5 weken te gaan! Maar wanneer je wat tijd over hebt en je wilt meer werkbladen zien. Ga dan naar Julia's blog door deze WOYWW link te volgen en geniet.
So that’s it for today. I must get on with all the other Christmas makes… still two and a half weeks to go! If you have time and fancy a look at more desks, pop over to Julia’s place by following this WOYWW link and enjoy.
Have a happy and crafty Wednesday.

Thank you for your visit earlier and your kind comments. I do like your pastel coloured cards - they are very fresh and bright.
Franka, your cards are lovely - I especially like the "burnt" distressed effect you've got round the edges of the first one, and your explosion box is gorgeous! I love explosion boxes and have made several - you might like my beehive one which I made last year - you can see it here:
