10 Minute Christmas Card

Thanks to all of you who joined in last week and made a card inspired by something in your homes. We hope it made you look at everyday things in a new way.

Just in case you hadn't noticed, Christmas is just around the corner - less than two weeks to go now!
So as we hurtle headlong towards the big day we thought we'd help you out just a little bit with those last minute cards.
Every year we find ourselves needing a few extra cards, even when we thought we'd got plenty, so this dare is all about super-quick Christmas crafting.
We want to see cards that take only a few minutes, but of course don't look it!
Make just one, or see how many you can make in an hour ot's up to you.
On your marks.... get set......Go Go Go
Here are some from the team to get you thinking - and please come back and let us know where we can see your creations. Have fun.

Great cards from the team - amazing what can be done in the time. There's a card from me here

Annie said...

Great idea for a challenge, but guess who wasn't paying attention? Yep me! I got the 10 minute bit but forgot it had to be a Christmas card - what a dumpling?
Anyway hope to be forgiven and will make New Year Resolution to read instructions far more carefully.
HERE IS MY CARD

This card actually took 11 minutes because I couldn't find the stickers. If (there's always an if) I had, I think I could do this in 8 minutes or under. A good thought just in case I have forgotten anyone!

Thanks ikki

I managed to create a card in 10 minutes because I needed a birthday card. I wasn't paying attention that it has to be a christmas card. So I hope mine input counts too:


Here's mine

Caro said...

How true is that! I have about 6 more to make so used this challenge to make 3 of them in 30 minutes. You can see them here: http://carocrafts.blogspot.com/2008/12/weekend-of-two-halves.html

Leonie said...

What a great challenge! I still need some cards and I don't have much time anymore! Your cards show that you can make great cards in 10minutes!

Here's my first daring card!!

I think that it takes ten minutes, but it could take longer if you fiddle about with it to try and get it to look the way that you want it to!! ;-)

Don't laugh but I found that I still didn't have enough cards so made 4 more in 40 minutes which also qualify for this challenge LOL. You can see them here: http://carocrafts.blogspot.com/2008/12/strangely-quiet.html

I made this card during my homeroom's holiday party yesterday. Some of the girls got interested and borrowed my supplies to make cards with me. Good times!
