I actually made up 10 of these.. Kind of a take off on the ones I did for Thanksgiving, but I think they came out pretty nice.. What do you think? 8-).. These were pretty quick and easy.. My main BG panels were created with kraft CS from my stash that had been painted with my SowCap paint dauber and run through my CB with the Christmas Blessings EF, and then sanded a bit so the words would show through. The remaining BG panels were made up with a combination of various strips of dp from Authentique's Wonder collection, some ivory CS from my stash and the help of an MS border punch. My Lovely Ornaments were stamped using Waltzing Mouse's Vintage Ornaments set with with two different SU's inks, Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler and then cut out with the help of my SB Heirloom Ornaments dies and then popped up with a few dimensionals. My Waltzing Mouse Sentiment was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black onto the center of my Ornaments. And to finish them all up, I just inked all my edges with a touch of Vintage Photo distress ink, added seam binding bows and cute little buttons all tied up with some Yummy Baker's twine from MAD Stamper Finds...See, pretty easy peasy, huh...8-)
Here's few more pics of the individual cards.
Hope you all are Enjoying your family and friends over this long Holiday weekend & Thanks so much or stopping by today!

Hi Shannon!
ReplyDeleteThese cards are absolutely gorgeous. I hope that you include a frame with each of them as they are a work of art that belongs on the wall.
Are there any pictures of your craft space on your blog. I love imagining how someone's craft space looks and I am guessing yours is as amazing as your cards.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful creations. Carol
