Well my official Christmas card was made using a large circle punch to punch a hole in the card (you’ll get to see it a bit later; I’m trying to give my cards a head start in the mail before posting this). I really liked how they turned out, but the best part was that I was able to use the leftover circles for another Christmas card design. That worked out great, because it turned out I have more friends than I thought and needed more cards.
I was inspired by Heather Scott’s Design challenge and thought it would be a perfect way to use those pretty patterned circles I had left over. As you can see, I’m not really into traditional Christmas colors; I like to take liberties when I can. For the pink card, the patterned paper is from the Rustic Chic Wing It collection. For the purple card, the patterned paper is a Basic Grey design we no longer sell. I used “Holiday Magic” from the stamp set of the same name, cut out an ornament topper out of scrap silver paper and added a bow. Thanks, Heather for the inspiration.One of my favorite sets that I purchased recently is Everyday Events. It is such a versatile one and includes images for a few specific holidays, but more for general occasions.
Wanted to show you how easy it is to make a whole stack of cards using just that set, the Kaleidoscope Boyz Wing It Collection of Papers, White CS, Colored Pencils, and Ribbon.
Here are 2 for tonight featuring the Adirondack chair from that set….More to come later. The horizontal card features yellow CS and a little “distressing” with a blue inkpad around the edges. The other card is pretty simple.As I said, the printed background papers are all from that Wing It collection. Makes composing a card so easy!
