My Christmas Cards

Hello everyone!

Today I'd like to show you my Christmas cards.

I was having a difficult time figuring out what to 

do for my Christmas cards this year.

Nothing seemed to be clicking,

then, as often happens, an idea struck.

And what a messy idea it was!

I had seen the Altenew Burlap Texture Die on

several videos and finally picked it up.

I decided on a design and got to work.

What a mess I made, but it was so worth it!

I used an embossing folder from my stash

and embossed the backgrounds.

Then I found a tree in my library of my 

Silhouette Design Studio software and

cut them out with my Silhouette Cameo.

I used glitter card stock for the trees, but the glitter

doesn't show up well in the pictures.

Once I had all the pieces ready, I 

assembled the cards.
Gluing down that burlap piece was a little

tricky, then I got the idea to brush the back

with glue and a foam brush and it worked

like a charm.

I used the scraps of the gold vellum from the

burlap pieces to punch out the stars, glued them

on and the card fronts were done.

Inside I stamped this sentiment

from the
Faith Peace Love Stamp set from Stampendous

Now my cards were finished!
I love how they turned out, 

a little different than anything I've done 

before, yet they are still 
"really me"

Thanks for stopping in today.

I hope you have your cards all made and mailed out.

By the time this is posted hopefully mine will be too.

Please come to visit again,

until then
