Have Yourself a Merry Christmas - Card

Hi All!

Here is a card that I made for my niece and her family.  I really like the background paper.  Some of the images are glossy and the rest matte.  All of the images are vintage, which I like.

 Items Used:

• Gold Flowers - Michaels
• Red Glossy Card - Kelly Paper
• Card Base - white card
• Matte design - not sure where I got this.  I really liked the old timely pictures.
• Red pearls - Michaels?
• Christmas Brads - Time Holtz Idea ology - Michaels
• Sentiment Sticker - Paper Wishes - Dazzles

I had to use a plain piece of card or paper to place my sentiment on otherwise it wasn't going to show up.  I chose a red glossy piece.  I punched some holes, one in each corner and inserted the brads.  I really like the "25th" brad.  The sticker is from a set - they are a white sparkle (not glitter0 with a gold edging.

I knew I needed to fill in this spot with something.  I didn't want to use ribbon because I have to mail this to New York.  I chose these pearls.  They are smaller and hopefully will go through without a problem.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Cheer Card

Hi everyone!

Its getting close to Christmas.  I thought I would have time to create many Christmas cards (I bet they are your favorite to make as much as mine) but time got the better of me - and here it is, just 5 days before Christmas! Yikes!

I did have some time to make a few more Christmas cards for family. So, I thought I would share them.

Items Used:

• CHEERS Die - Paper Wishes Paper Artist Series
• Blue coarse glitter card stock, pink/purple matte foiled card stock - Create and Craft
• Gold Glossy Card stock - Kelly Paper
• Gold Bows - Anna Griffin
• Collaged pieces - actually playing cards with Victorian pictures on them - Sky Blue Pink
• Gold Paint Pen - Krylon
• Card Base - pain white card
• Red pearls - Michaels I think

Here is a detail shot of the die cut.

These are two of the playing cards I used as collage elements.  The set is lovely (Victorian Playing Cards - referring to the pictures on them, not the style.)  I cut off the edges and used a hole punch to cut out the corners.  I edged them in gold paint pen.

Thanks for stopping by!
