Countdown to Christmas - Day 1

Evening,

Happy 1st of December, which means that the countdown to Christmas really has begun in earnest.

I try to make a few Christmas cards each month throughout the year. I haven't been quite as on top of that as usual this year, but I have still managed to make enough to share something Christmassy with you every day in the lead up to Christmas Day itself.

'The Girls' and I were playing with diecuts earlier in the year.

This is a layering die set which I have used to create a Letterpressed image.

Years ago I wouldn't have given you much of a thank you for a die. Now I probably buy them more often than I do stamps. I have learned that they can be very versatile and used not just for die cutting.

I added texture to the Letterpress panel by using a die and an embossing mat to create the stitched element in the background.

I really must start to write my Christmas cards tomorrow or they are never going to arrive. Still, I think everyone is quite used to me by now lol.

Thanks for stopping by.

See you tomorrow with another Christmas card.

Love and Crafty Hugs
