Batch-making Christmas Cards

The first few years I made Christmas cards, I tried to make all our cards -and we send about 80 - identical. And I got BORED. So then for a while I made cards throughout the year - two a week from New Year to November produced plenty to go round.

This year, however, I didn't start making Christmas cards until a couple of weeks ago. Inspired by the "One sheet wonders" I've seen on blogs and Pinterest, and by my ever-growing collection of bits and pieces, I decided to make small batches of about half a dozen cards "The same but different". That way I don't get bored, but don't have to spend half an hour choosing materials afresh for every card I make.

Here's how it's going so far.....
