Handmade Cards Are The Best!
Hello there! It's starting to feel like Christmas around here which means it's a great time to get caught up on creating all your Christmas cards!
Up first I have a card using the darling gingerbread image from the collection. I cut my sentiment from the "very merry" paper. This sheet has so many darling images and sentiments that are perfect for cards! For my snow I cut a strip of lily white dot sugar coated cardstock and then punch one edge with a scalloped border punch. To finish it off, no project ever feels quite complete without a little bling so I embellished the stickers with pearls and jewels.
My next card would be perfect for mass producing. It was quick and easy to make and best of all it's a great design for using up little bits of leftover paper. I think you could easily create multiples by just substituting the gingerbread with other darling characters from the collection (like Mr. & Mrs. Claus, Snowmen, reindeer, etc.).
My train card is also great at utilizing leftover paper scraps. I think this design would go especially quick with the use of a small square punch (which is now on my wish list).
My last card uses the Christmas tree gift tag as a focal point. I punched my sentiment from that same "very merry" paper and then embellished my tree with various sprinkles. I adore the Christmas Tags Craft Kit in this collection--They really have some many fun uses!
