The Doc and I have been away for a short break and enjoyed the hotel so much we decided to stay on. Came back so relaxed that I totally forgot that I should have made my card for the Christmas card club and posted it yesterday. Oops! Gwen chose the theme of Christmas birds.
To make amends I made 6 up last night and here they are. I had a load of robin toppers in my stash so quickly pulled out some papers, dies and stamps and got cracking.
1st card very CAS using a topper from My Paper Stash called 'Robin on a Perch' and a stamp from
Phil Martins 'Scribbled Christmas Sentiment Corners'. Large black gem from my stash.
2nd card again using a topper from My Paper Stash as above. Design paper is a freebie from Making Cards and Papercraft magazine Christmas edition 201. Sentiment stamp is by Inkadinkado 'Christmas Silhouttes'. I edged the sentiment with a silver sticker edging and added 3 small red gems.
3rd Card is not a size I usually make but I didn't want to trim the design of the paper down so merely trimmed it so that the border finished on the fold of the card. Added a gold edging sticker .
The sentiment stamp is by Kaiser Craft. Robin Topper is by Craft Creations Ltd called 'Robins/Gold'
4th card uses a freebie design paper from Making cards magazine November 2015. Gold sticker used around the edge of the card. The die cut is by Creative Expressions Festive collection. The gold edged robin topper is by Craft Creations Ltd as card above.
5th card uses an aperture card base that I had already cut for another card but then found it to be the wrong size so used here instead. I have placed the topper on the inside of the card. Edged with silver stickers and the sentiment is also a silver sticker from my stash.
I used a design paper from my stash to place behind the robin topper on the inside.
Last card uses '' Robin on a Perch background card from My Paper Stash adhered to red card stock and then onto a white card base. The sentiment is a die cut by Sweet Dixie ' Merry Christmas'.

Wow Mrs A this is a beautiful selection of cards and so adorable are your Robins nice to have a break and then stay on for a few more days makes the time away even more relaxing and well worth it take care x
What a wonderful array of cards you've created - that hotel and getaway must have been just what you needed to refresh and regroup! Thanks for the tips about comments, but I do believe it's my internet provider combined with Google, as no hyperlinks coming in email are working from blogger or anyone else. I've been searching for answers and the recommended "Fixes" do not work. Very frustrating indeed!
Oh wow, a gorgeous collection of cards.....well done! x
What a gorgeous set of cards Valery for our theme this time. You have been super busy it seems creating all these wonderful Robin themed cards.
