Tree Card

Happy Holidays to y'all!

Today I have a card to show you.

Yes another Christmas card, well it is the season

isn't it?  This is a card that was an experiment.

I was trying to decide what card style to use

for our cards and this was one that I thought about.

I did decided against it, but I do like it.

I cut the trees with Sizzix dies and covered 

them with clear Wink of Stella.

I glued on the sequins with 

Ranger Multi Medium Matte

I cut and scored a 11"x 4.25"piece of card stock

 to make a 5.5" x 4.25" card.

I then cut a section out of the bottom part 

of the card leaving an open space of about 

1.5"

I adhered the trees to the top and bottom pieces

of the front of the card.

I liked this card, but it didn't make the cut for

our card this year.

Inside I stamped the greeting near the top of the 

card leaving room to sign at the bottom and not have 

it show through the space in the front of the card.

Thanks for stopping by today to check out what I'm up to.

I hope your holiday prep is going well.

Be happy!

Shaker Cards

Hello friends!

Today I have a couple Christmas cards to show you.

I was inspired to make these when I saw

this video from Jennifer McGuire

For both cards I used  Christmas papers

from my scrap stash,

which happens to be quite extensive.

I really shouldn't keep everything, 

but it served me well in this instance.

I decided to make them into shaker cards.

I do wish I had put more bits and pieces

into the shakers, but I haven't done that many shakers

and it sure looked like more than there actually were.

I used some bakers twine to string the 

Christmas Lights together as well as at the tops

of the ornaments in the second card.

For both cards I cut the openings with 

Sizzix Dies.

Thanks for stopping in today to see what

I've been up to.

Come again soon,

until then

have some fun crafting!
