Christmas Card Kits - card #3 - colour printed tagswith eyelets and fiber over decorative paper

For my third card, I again colour printed some tags in the traditional tag shape.  I now realize that these last two kits are the same when it comes to putting them together even if they look quite different.  I added a piece of decorative paper to the card.  The tags were cut apart after printing and then I added a pewter eyelet and some coordinating fiber through it.  The tags are all different so I coordinated the decorative paper and the cardstock to the images.  

All the card kits have quarter sheet laser printed inserts with appropriate greetings.  

It is blessings all around with these cards -  I am blessed with making the kits, she is blessed putting them together and her friends and family are blessed with her wonderful creations.  So glad I could make kits that allow her to still enjoy making cards!!  Therese
 

Christmas card kits - card #2 - decorative paper, ribbon and a round layered tag

This set of cards has a decorative background with enough contrast from the cardstock that she should be able to position it as she wishes it to be.  I found the round tags on line and colour printed them.  I had to modify them a bit to suit my purpose - I removed the background digitally and sized them so I could cut them with my Nestibilities.  I have acquired a magnetic platform with my second Big Shot which makes cutting with slim dies really fast.  I position the die onto the image and then add a large sticky note to secure the die to the cardstock.  Once laid on the magnetic platform they stayed lined up and cut perfectly every time!!!  I layered these onto round scalloped circles cut from red scraps of cardstock.  I added the folded ribbon with double sided tape and then added two pieces of 3D foam tape on the back.  Again, the release paper is blue so it shows up very well against the red cardstock.  There were several designs in this set of tags and I also used several different background paper to provide some variety.  Therese
 

Christmas card kits for a friend - card #1 - embossed layers, ribbon and an embossed greeting

A good friend who is a long time cardmaker asked for some Christmas card kits again this year.  After her stroke she has limited vision but continues to do as much as she can!!  I have made the kits so they will be easy for her to put together.  For this one I started with an ivory card which I folded so it would be ready to go.  I embossed the green shimmer cardstock with a floral embossing folder and added a line of double sided tape on the top and the bottom so she could locate the ribbon anywhere along the card front and the remaining tape would be helpful in securing the layer to the card along with some glue for the middle.  I created the poinsettia using my Nestibilities.  I used only the two smallest ones, embossed them and then added a gold sequin and brad to secure all the layers together.  I added 3D foam tape to the back which has blue release paper which will make it easier for her to see.  The gold embossed Merry Christmas greeting also has a strip of double sided tape on the back which will hold it in place.  

I am so glad to be able to make kits for her allowing her to still enjoy making cards for her friends and family!!  She is such a gracious person and counts everything to the good!!   Therese
