A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".

Bird in a Santa Hat

Jingle Belles want to see a "Santa Hat" on a card and Cardz 4 Guyz want to see a "Masculine Christmas Card".  I have a friend whose kids call him "an old fart" when they're teasing him so I made this with him in mind!


I stamped and coloured the bird and Santa hat, and die cut them both.  I stuck them to a cream panel on which I'd stamped the sentiment, then rubbed some green ink around the edges of the panel to create a border.  I added it to a background of dp.
