Christmas Card Galore

It's always hard to be ahead of the game...especially with Christmas Cards...ESPECIALLY hand made Christmas Cards...

It took a while, but I finally made enough to mail to my extended family in Edmonton and in the USA.

The mittens were designed and cut out using my Silhouette. The paw prints were with the use of a EK border punch.

 The "Happy Holidays" is actually a window message cutout designed and cutout using my Silhouette. The snowflakes were from a Martha Stewart Ribbon punch, where I cut all the snowflakes apart.

 I was going with simple and clean with this card. The Holiday Message was copied from a stamp design I saw, which I copied in MS Word and printed out on my HP Colour Laser. The edge was punched out with a Martha Stewart snowflake border and corner punch set.

I finally opened up what I thought was white embossing powder for this card, but it turned out to be a pearl clear embossing powder. It still looked great...so this was completely decorated with wet stamp embossing along with a dry embossing border using my Big Shot.

 This card is cute....the Xmas is a message window cutout designed and cutout on my Silhouette, along with all the pieces of the Santa outfit! The corners were punched with a Martha Stewart snowflake corner punch.

 This is a simple card...I'm still not too sure about it. I used a Martha Steward snowflake ribbon punch along with platinum vellum paper to make the snowflakes. The message was copied from a stamp and printed out on my HP Colour Laser Printer.
