Dear crafters, I enjoy making cards - tho am by no means an expert. I really feel like making some cards over this long weekend, and thought I might just start on Christmas cards whilst I can take it slowly and enjoy it. Do any of you have Christmas card photos on your profiles so I can steal your ideas get some inspiration please? Or do you have any links to websites with good ideas?

I don't want to think that far ahead! Here's a link to some of my cards, including Christmas ones:

oh wow, your cards are AMAZING red2011 and exactly to my taste. I'm not really thinking about Christmas at all but fancied making some cards. Might do some anniversary cards instead, leave the Christmas cards til it feels more right to be making Christmas cards!

Thankyou kindly lilolilmanchester. When time permits (not likely given current circumstances) I want to make some Yule cards, and some for other occasions for other faiths. So, if there is something you'd like to see, just post some feedback on that page, with suggestions of what would be representative (Eg for a Muslim friend's wedding I was told 'no images' so we went for fancy script and colours to tone with her wedding stationery).
Do we get to see some of your cards at all? :)

Red2011, Love your cards :)

May I ask where you got the sticker/stamp/image for the pirate ship which you used on this card.

TIA

Not too early at all! In fact we've already had a wee chat about it over on the Christmas thread - www.mumsnet.com/Talk/Christmas/1283334-Anyone-making-their-own-cards-Ideas-please.

Links to the stuff that I'm going to make on there and the photo I'm going to use is in my profile.

Red2011 - your cards are beautiful!

I have some in the Christmas folder here www.flickr.com/photos/39731994@N06/ and probably some more in the photostream that I haven't organised yet :)
