Christmas Cards - Hanging Ornaments from the Tree

Today I have another Christmas card using the pine bough pipe cleaner.  I think it turned out pretty good.








Close Up!

I had been eyeing the EK Success ornament punch and wanted to use them in my cards this year.  They are really pretty.  I punched them out of regular patterned papers and decorated these with jewels.  The first punch didn't go so well but the I got the hang of it.  The trick is to make sure that you hear a second click.  Then the design will be completely cut from the paper.


I cut some one way and some the other to add variety.


I added this cute little tassel at the end.

Hope you liked my card! Come back for more Christmas cards!

Christmas Cards - Sticker Cards

I always have some stickers for Christmas but I don't normally use them in my cards. I thought it would be a nice change to try these out!

First is Blessings.  This card has non traditional colors but I love the way the pink worked out.  You can't really see it but the solid pink is actually pink glitter cardstock.  The bow is pink organza.




My second card is Rejoice.  I used a panel to anchor the stickers.  (Have you ever noticed that sometimes when you add a sticker it seems to be floating and not really attached to anything in your design?)
Below are three stickers.


Hope these cards give you some ideas!
