Hello there

Hope you're doing well, however the winter season is appearing for you.

Here, I'm behind, as ever. But I've realised (and not for the first time) that our good old home printer can be my friend. In other words, fear not, because even if traditional Christmas cards may or may not get to you in time to send, you can print, make and send the printable variety for a good while yet (assuming that you're reading this close to the date I'm typing, in early December).

So, it seems like high-time to showcase one of my newest designs first: Holly and Roses. Great to cut out and send as it is, or with added layers featuring the floral jug, the sheet itself also includes a blank tag to cover the "Merry Christmas," message, if you'd rather say something else.

(And yes, if you're eagle-eyed, and have been reading this blog for a while, you might notice that whilst the holly in this design is new this season, I've been waiting a while to find just the right place for a variation on that  jug of roses and lilies...)


There are lots of printable options

If the "Holly and Roses" design is too floral for your festive tastes, there are plenty of other options. For example, this cute penguin family from a little earlier in the year are going strong in my Craftsuprint shop...

The image shows a square card front, resting on a blue paper mock-up background. The card features a pen and watercolour drawing of two penguins, and their cute pengion chick. The card has a thick silver digital glitter effect border.
