Art Swap Christmas Card 2023

Hello and welcome!

I know this is past the Christmas season,

but I wanted to share this card I made for 

a friend.

Our swap group had a Christmas card swap and this

is the card I made.

I made this with a set of dies I got from Temu.

I will admit that it took me a while to figure it all 

out and get it together.

It's my own fault though, as I made it much more

difficult than it needed to be.

For instance I wanted the cut out areas to show gold on

both sides of the card, so I had to do a double layer of

the center panel and position the gold behind both sides.

I ended up using a whole piece for one side and gluing the

cut out pieces into the open areas on the other side.

A tedious task, but I got it done.

I also cut out snow for the bottom of this panel and

also cut the deer out and adhered it to the deer that 

was originally green.

I put a small panel in to write my greeting,

then decided that some birds would look

really cute and cut them from another die

and adhered them to the top of the small panel.

I was very happy with this card in the end and love

how it turned out.
It was a lot of work and figuring, but it was well worth

it.

I'm glad you stopped in today and hope you have been inspired

in some way.
Please do come again,

until then,

make something you love.
