I have been making Christmas cards for a few years now, but this is the first year I won't be sending any store bought at all...it's homemade or nothing! :) I typically make a few cards of several different designs so I don't get bored and then I have a variety of styles/colors/sentiments I can pick from when I'm chosing a card for a specific individual. Here is the first card I'm going to share this year:
This card is CASED from Vicki Wizniuk, a fellow CTMH consultant. It features the paper from "Believe" which has Holiday Red, Sweet Leaf, Sky and White Daisy in it. I used a stamp from Papertrey Ink for the sentiment in Black (some say Season's Greetings and some say Merry & Bright). The snowflake is a Marvy punch and then I used a white snowflake brad in the center I purchased at JoAnn's. I didn't glue the snowflake down, it's attached with the brad, which allows for it to spin if you want to. The scallop border across the bottom is a Fiskars border punch.
The assembly of a group of these is fairly easy and the end result is a nice not too bulky card that is easy to mail. I made 6 of these for Operation Write Home back in November and 4 for my own use. Hope you like it!
