This was my first, and I admit I stumbled through it. The background is beautiful, but I struggled to get the Pointsettas right. I ended up inking red paper to try to get a decent shade. I may need some more work on that.
The papers came from a Holiday pack I purchased from Hobby Lobby. The ribbon came from there as well. The Pointsettas and the words came from the Solutions Christmas Cartridge on my Cricut.
After that card I moved on to another, and it was a totally different story. I love it when cards just come together and seems like you don't even have to try. I'm on a snow trip this year. Snowflakes, snow men, I love them both!
I used the same cartridge to mark then cut out the snowflakes. I inked the blackout pieces to give them a little depth. I added two different toned blue jewels that I had in my stash before mounting them with dimensionals. The ribbon I picked up from Walmart and I cut the tag with my Cricut and stamped the sentiment. Add some glittery embossing powder and two snowflake brads and viola! A pretty Christmas card!
If only they all practically made themselves!
I absolutely love the snowflake one. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI found cards in English to send out this year but they are rather pathetic. Maybe one of these days I'll get creative again and learn how to make cards. I just love all the ones you've shared!
