This year I decided to explore the theme of ”The 12 Days of Christmas”. Before I even started on this series of blog posts I had designed my 2011 Christmas cards inspired by the rhyme.
Here are the 3 small illustrations that make up the final card. I especially liked the idea of illustrating the birds including the partridge in a pair tree, 2 turtle doves and 3 French hens.
Hope you like them!
And here’s the final artwork for the card…
At the weekend I was browsing the internet (as you do), looking for some inspiration for my “12 days of Christmas” posts. Then I came across A Spoonful of Sugar’s website.
Lisa and Sarah are mother and daughter and love all things creative! They create their own projects and share these and tutorials with their followers online. They work using all kinds of techniques such as embroidery, quilting, card making, knitting and so much more.
Here are a few of their Christmas creations that I really like. Check out their website for more ideas and tutorials.

I’m loving Jimjam’s cards this year. They’re fun, stylish and use lots of stitch embroidery. My favourite are the assorted fabric Christmas trees below. The simple shapes and subtle embellishments, whether it be beads, spotty fabric or silver cotton trunks, create colourful compositions on the felt and hessian backgrounds.
As well as creating wonderful Christmas cards JimJam Designs also make cards for all occasions. You can see more on their Facebook page and buy cards online at their Folksy shop.
