I'm on a mission this week, to get all my Christmas cards finished, written, and posted, and then fingers crossed they get to where they're going before Christmas! The postal strikes in the UK are not making things easy this festive season but, I suppose that is their intention!!!
Anyway ...... another quick and easy idea for you today, using a large sentiment stamp as my main focal point ....... I do love a large sentiment!
I'm also using up some of that gorgeous deep purple cardstock too!
I simply stamped my sentiment in the centre of my card and heat embossed in gold ..... this one is from the Savvy Sentiments - Merry Everything stamp set by Colorado Craft Company. (there's four large sentiment to choose from and I love the font!)
I then had some fun splattering gold, silver and white inks around the sentiment and cvered the background ..... easy!
I added a few tiny gemstones here and there to finish off and give a little extra Christmas sparkle.
That's another batch done!
How are your festive preparations going?
It's all about the food and drink here this week.
Shopping lists have been made, the oven is getting cleaned on Friday, and the Christmas cook book is out and ready ...... time to get the gravy started!
We've just had the Christmas wine delivered too so that's all sorted ......... cheers! Just need to put it away somewhere then we don't drink it before the big day!!!
Hubby and I also took some time out yesterday, did a spot of Christmas shopping and went for a lovely festive lunch. Well, he's had a dentist appointment today, and I think the next few days are not going to be pleasant. I won't go into all the gorey details ........ I'll just say rather him than me!!
Thanks for popping by ..... enjoy the rest of your day.
Cheerio until next time .......

Beautiful cards with the gorgeous purple card base, Linda. Love the splatters of gold, white and silver.
Sounds as though you are in the thick of things ... isn't it fun??!! I did get my cards mailed. I have made a couple of batches of cookies so far (lots more to go), and 4 batches of nuts & bolts (a favourite for our family). I'm just pacing myself so that I don't get over tired. It will all get done. :) xx
Love that big sentiment and all those splatters that show so beautifully on the dark purple background! Sounds like you are in the thick of Christmas festivities! It's a busy time!
I love your card and did a few similar ones myself, Linda. When you can get shimmer and shine and a happy festive feeling in a QACAS card ~ score! I know you will have a party-rrific time at Christmas and all the way through New Year's Day and beyond! I'm sorry I've not been visiting, but now that my cards are done I am putting together my own blog list and 🫰 I'll be able to get back into my old routine of visiting and commenting!👏 Miss you! Happy Christmas Hugs, Darnell
