Christmas Cards - 25

Today's card has the number 25 on it.  I often use symbols of holidays (as we all do) on my cards.

I think this card is too busy.  I probably could have done without the rosette with the 25 on it. 
The greenery looks ok though.

Close Up!

Here are the festive greenery die cuts. I attached the pine cone with several layers of mounting tape underneath in the middle so that I could round the pine cone.  I added some stickles glitter glue and shaded with Vintage Photo dye ink.  I added the red dew drops (clear colored red with alcohol inks).

I really love this 25.  The font is great.  It reminds me of an old time grocery store.

Come back again for more Christmas Cards!

Christmas Cards - Noel

Today's Card is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2.  It's not my usual size but I wanted to get so much in I had to go to a bigger size to do it.

First, this card was for my sister.  She is a great cook and very old fashioned.  I wanted to work this into my card.  I had some stickers that were made of canvas (the red gingham and the noel).  I added the brown with white stitching ribbon - not really a Christmas ribbon but it works well on this card.  I edged the papers in Vintage Photo to give a more antiqued look.

Just a little touch of gold glitter in the shape of a holly leaf die cut makes for a pretty accent.  I took my rectangular Noel sticker and added it to a tag.  I put it on angled as the tag was bigger and I didn't have a different sticker to match.  I think it came out ok.

I used gold doilies for accents.

I hope these ideas have given you ideas!
