Christmas Card 2008

I finally found an extra copy of our Christmas Card from this Christmas that I could post. I tried to do it matchbook style for something different. I used Kraft paper for the base of it, Stampin up Baja Breeze and Chocolate Chip, misc for the red and white. I used the house stamp from the "To You & Yours" set by SU and the "Very Merry Christmas to You" was a hostess set by SU. This was the best picture of us this year and the photo I took of it isn't very good but you get the idea. We live in Minnesota, so this year I was feeling warm & cozy when I thought of Christmas. I colored a little bit with colored pencils to try to bring the scene "alive". I should have added some glitter to the snow but I was making 80 of them while driving to my in-laws and didn't think that would work so well! Thanks for looking.

Another Christmas Card

Here is another set of Christmas Cards I made for my craft sale.

These are made on Kraft card stock. The blue is SU new in-color blue. Ribbon is American Crafts. The tree stamp is by Savvy Stamps. Sentiment stamp is by A Muse. Other paper is misc. I added red Stickles to the tree for some sparkle.

Christmas Cards

I made a bunch of different Christmas cards for this year. Here is another pack of them.

The Starburst paper (I think)is My Minds Eye, Brown is misc, Green is by Heidi Grace, Blue is SU(new in-color), Paprika is from Joann's and the golds brads are misc. The stamp is part of the Best Yet hostess set by Stampin Up. I stamped it in Black Versafine on Cottonwood paper. I think these are kinda fun and a little non-traditional.

I found this layout idea on Splitcoast Stampers, on this link: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1054838?cat=500&ppuser=66248

Christmas Ornament Card

This is a card that I made last year to sell on my Etsy site. I made a whole bunch of them & have a few left. I found the idea in a magazine last Christmas(I think it was Papercrafts Magazine). I LOVED this idea and really liked how this turned out. The bulb is popped up on dimensionals and I rubbed some silver ink on the edges.

The designer paper is by American Crafts. Ribbon is probably from Michael's. Silver and blue pieces are misc. Background stamp(stamped in Versamark) and Merry Christmas are from a clear set called Whimsical Holiday by Junkitz. The swirl was in the $ section at Target. I also put a little Stickles on the swirl for some extra sparkle.
