Christmas Cards

 

Christmas is coming and I always love to make my own Christmas cards.

This year is no different. I used Close To My Heart products and

the design came from the Frosted Cardmaking Kit.

This design is so simple, that it could be used to make

 any type of card.

 

 

I cut red and green cardstock strips along with a b/t paper strip...

These are approx. 4" long and 1.5" wide.

 

I glued the strips on a standard size CTMH card base.

 

 

 This strip and sentiment I attached together after stamping. I wanted this to be more dynamic so I used 3D foam. This also allowed room for the twine to be wrapped around the stamped strip.

 

The warm wishes sentiment is stamped in Ruby. The trees are done in Cocoa (both first generation and second generation) The star snow flake in the corner is stamped in second generation Twilight ink. I attached the sentiment and then embellished with one sparkle in the star flake and three sparkles in descending size to create a more polished look.

 

Hope you like this! It was fun and easy to make - especially when it all comes in the

Frosted Cardmaking Kit!

 

Try this patter for a Thank You card or for a Thinking of You card. Cute pattern I will be using this for years to come.
