Hello and welcome to Holiday Card Week, We R Fans!
I so admire really organized people… the ones that think ahead and organize things like holiday cards well in advance. I am more of a last-minute kinda girl who dreams of well managed time, lol.
A small step in the right direction, are these little cards I created using some sweet Crate Paper Snow & Cocoa papers and a few of my fave We R tools.
Can Christmas cards be black you might ask? Oh yes indeed! I am loving the way the red contrasts with the dark tones and the subtle pink and mint tones and cute characters are uplifting. This little card has a Bazzill Dotted base in ‘Pepper’ below some layered squares and mini embellies.
I have used my very awesome new Square Punch Board to create a few squares which I’ve machine stitched together. Simply adjust the rulers on either side to create the size square or rectangle you need, then slide your paper in and punch. Simple as that!
Here’s a little close up of this card. At 3×3 inches it’s a great size to hand out to my children’s classmates for end of year celebrations.
This snowman card is 4×6 size and has some punched circles on it which I made using my Circle Clear Cut Punch.
How fabulous is this holographic paper by DCWV! The Traditional Holiday 6×6 Stack comes with glitter, foil and lots of other awesome finishes – perfect for the holiday season.
This cardstock is Bazzill speciality ’Black Tie’ and has a beautiful metallic shimmer to it. The card has been finished off with some hand cut elements and adhesive sequins.
My third card uses Letterpress and some simple paper tags sewn together.
I’ve run some black Bazzill basic textured cardstock through my Evolution Advanced with the ‘Happy’ sentiment from my Letterpress Kit. I’ve used white mixed media ink and it worked a treat!
Some tiny handcut trees, a smidge of stamping and a bit of stitching finish this one off.
Now to make a few more of these!
Happy cardmaking!
