Signed, Sealed and Delivered


Yay! It's only December 16 and I have all the Christmas Cards finished. hehehe. There are about 70 of them this year. I really do try to make them earlier, but sometimes the right card doesn't spring to mind until, say, December!

The Snowman card was fun to make. I carved the snowman from a block of pink Speedball rubber. The acetate measures 5.5"X4.25" and I covered it with rollerball snowflakes in white StayzOn ink. The snow is made from torn white cardstock layered on the front and back of each side of the card. The little star is from an embellishment kit.

The red card is derived from one I saw in a recent magazine article. I adapted it a little for my taste and supplies I had on hand.












The Xmas Tree card was my favorite to make this year. I used my plotter to cut out the framed Xmas tree. I strung some embroidery thread around it and used Stickles for the star and ornaments. I then layered that onto a textured gold cardstock. Pop-dots were used to layer that set onto a fun cardstock layer and then yet another gold layer. Finally, the entire set was mounted onto the card.

Now, I probably should have said this first, but, if you are on Christmas Card list, don't look! hohoho!
