And More Barkley Handmade Christmas Cards

Hi Everyone,

This week I have done another Barkley Christmas card. I wanted to show you my cheats way of making a 8x8 card using an A4 piece of card. This is very handy way of using up any left over envelopes.

Firstly you need to score a piece of A4 card about 7" and 6/8" (landscape) then turning the card portrait cut down the edge 7"and 6/8". This makes sure that the card fits into an 8x8 envelope. More Barkley next week see you then.

Barkley Handmade Christmas Cards

Hi everyone,

This week I have started my Christmas cards, I know I am late starting them this year, its gone so fast. I have decided  this year I'm going to use the Barkley Christmas CD ROM from Crafter's Companion. These images are so cute and allow for plenty of glitter. I also used Anita's 3d Clear Gloss Finish embossing liquid for his nose, it dries raised and is very glossy.The next few weeks I will be posting what I have made so you will be Barkley mad. Below are a couple of picture's I hope I help to inspire you see you next week.
