2014 Selman Family Limited Edition Christmas Card

Happy New Year everyone!
I hope you all had a wonderful winter holiday.

Did any of you write down any New Year's resolution?
My New Year's resolution involves staying in touch more regularly with my BFF in Ottawa and carving out just a bit more time to craft a bit more, especially now that I have a sewing/embroidery machine!

It's been a while since I last posted, so I'll kick start the year showing off "The Selman Family's 2014 Limited Edition Vancouver Canucks Stocking Skate Waterfall Card"...talk about a mouthful!


I kept this very simple, but with very detailed designs on each panel. Everything you see above was designed using the Silhouette Cameo, except the eyelet at the top for the ribbon.


It might be hard to see, but this year I had SELMAN embedded into the 2014, on the stocking skate.


And of course, there's always a Vancouver Canucks Logo. Go Canucks Go!


How the waterfall card works, is when you pull the ribbon above, the individual pages self flips below.


As you keep pulling, the card flip through the pages, and the greeting panel reveals itself.


I think for next time, I won't make each panel's design so intricate because it was very tedious work adhering it with double-sided tape. (I'm not a fan of glue...I find it too messy and it can damage the nice metallic paper I was using.) That was the reason why I only made a dozen of these cards!

I hope you like this card!
Stay tune for the next post of all the other Christmas Cards I made for 2014.
