Some fun making Christmas cards and another Ombre card

Firstly I finished off my second Ombre card for the Group of Seven Cardmakers prompt for this month



Blended some Distress Inks - Squeezed lemonade, Fossilized amber, Ripe persimmon, Festive berries and decided to use it as is - Die cut in white card with Torn Edge die to create a frame and then attached a die cut flower (never used Kaisercraft Small Succulent) and a die cut 'Hello'.  I'm joining in the fun at NBUS #70 too.


Then just before Christmas we had the girls for a sleepover and of course they like to play with Nanas stuff.   So I showed them how to make cards with the cardboard toilet rolls 



  Here are mine I finished off this week....






Thanks for stopping by my blog
Have a wonderful day
Cheers Robyn

  2. Oh, Robyn, what a wonderful selection of cards. A beautiful ombre card and your bauble cards look amazing! Your girls are so beautiful and obviously following in Nana's crafty footsteps! I love the colour combos and the placement of the ornaments - it's something I really struggle with! Hugs, and thanks for playing at Christmas Kickstart with our CCC friend Julia and me, Jo x

  3. Happy New Year, Robyn! Your floral design is stunning with the white flower against that ombre sunset-colored background! But I have to say, the girls stole the show! How fun to craft with them and ALL of your ornaments are brilliant! I love the idea and must check it out further! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell

  8. These hot colours look great and they are so beautifully blended Robyn, and the added flower looks so pretty over the top..love the die cut torn edge too. All the watercoloured baubles look great too and I'm sure you had lots of fun with your granddaughters making them...budding cardmakers I think. Thank you for sharing your ombre card with us at Group of Seven. x
