I have a few creations to share with you today. I've been on a bit of a card-making binge recently thanks to a couple of crops I attended where I devoted my crafty time to making Christmas cards. And even after the crops were finished I kept making cards the rest of the weekend. I'm now up to 100 Christmas cards made for my stash this year.
The cards I'm sharing with you today are the most recent five - that brought me up to that magic number of 100!
For this card I used the
Snowflakes embossing folder to give my card base some pop. Then I mounted one of the stickers from the
City Sidewalks Complements onto a couple of
coordinating card stock mats and popped it up with some foam tape. Added one of the sentiment stickers and there you go! An easy peasy card!
For these next three cards I used the Snowman pieces from the
Cozy Christmas Thin Cuts Bundle to build my own snowmen. Of course, the sentiment is from the same set. I added a bit of sparkle with some
silver shimmer trim on two of the cards and with a snowflake from the
complements pack. Three more quick cards for the stash!
And then just because I liked this design so much (it's the
Viva La Verve November Week 1 Sketch), I made a horizontal version as well.
I used the scallop border punch to add a little detail to the card stock mat on this one and
rounded the corners of my centre panel to tie it all together. The layout is from
Mojo Monday 468.
And for this last card I went a little bigger - this is a 5 x 7 card made using one of the 4 x 6 PML cards from the
City Sidewalks paper pack. I mounted it on a piece of
coordinating card stock, stamped the sentiment and die cut the trees from the
Cozy Christmas Thin Cuts bundle. Another quick and easy card!
I still have a few PML cards to use up so you can expect to see those show up as Christmas cards as well!
Up next, is Brandi Robinson at
