At a recent scrapbook event, I couldn't say no to some awesome deals on paper. One of the deals was on double sided glossy paper by Little Yellow Bicycle (25 Days of Christmas) and packs of embellishments. I picked out 5 coordinating sheets and a pack of stickers. I vowed to make Christmas cards from these papers if I bought them and amazingly I kept that vow! Even more amazing...I used every single sticker from that pack!!
The cards have been mailed out a few days now so it's safe to share them with all of you!
Here's a closer look at the cards.
For this card, I used a border punch along the side of the designer paper and laid down a strip of sparkly white glitter tape to the left of the punch. This was placed over white embossed cardstock. The bulbs and sentiment are stickers.
This card has more embossing, punching and glitter tape. The sentiment is a sticker. I used a strip of paper and the snowflake rosette die (Tim Holtz), to create the rosette...topped off with a snowflake button.
No embossing, but same punching and glitter tape. The reindeer is a sticker added to white cardstock and fussy cut. The nose is a red gem. The sentiment is white rub on letters punched from designer paper and matted with white cardstock.
More snowflake embossing/glitter tape.. but the decorative edge laid over it is paper left over from the rosette die cut. A great way to use up scraps! The sentiment sticker was laid on white cardstock and punched out. The poinsettias are stickers.
There were two more cards made that I'm not showing. I still had plenty of paper left, so I made some gift card holders which I'll show you next.
