Well, this unruly mess of ribbon, string, paper and glue can only mean one thing...
... more cards for Craftseller magazine. More Christmas cards, to be precise.
The cards I make for them are of course to showcase the free craft papers they give away every month, but I can never resist adding a little something to the papers when I'm making a card...
I think being able to add texture and depth is one of the really great things about handmade cards - it definitely separates the finished product from mass-produced and creates a much more luxurious feel. Plus it's so much fun to do!
Seriously - aren't those Craftseller papers just gorgeous?
Enough of me and my cards - the full reveal will have to wait. It's over to you now...

Your layered card is in my favourite colours! Another job well done.
Yes they do look nice papers - and nice card you have made! You will also be well ahead now when making your own cards to send!
I like the free papers and the card you have made from them. :)
They do look good, however hard I try I always end up favouring anything red for Christmas :)
Ooh love those Christmas papers! I agree, added texture definitely makes a card extra special, i love the white border on yours, is it string? It looks so gorgeous! x
Ah, no, not string - it's the torn edge of the paper you can see! It does look like string now you mention it!!
Funny, my blog this week is about the free papers that come with Craftseller and other magazines! Your card looks great, can't wait to see the finished article.
The papers are great. And you've done a lovely job with them, x
They look fantasic! I love the free papers, so many uses for them!
Handmade cards are always more personal than mass produced, I love the torn paper and ribbon combination.

I'm used to an unruly mess. My work areas seem to be like that all the time. The little touches and details are definitely what makes a card special.
