Christmas Card Kits - Card #3 features a large snowflake, decorative paper and small snowflake punchies combined with a brad

For Card #3 I used both the diecut and the opening that it leaves for make the cards I needed.  

For the cards made with the snowflake die cut (SU) I added a few more to make it the focal element.  I added a large coloured snowflake, a smaller punched snowflake in white and then a tiny daisy snowflake which I bound together with a silver brad.  Assembly was easy - glue the paper to the card front and then add the snowflake using 3D foam tape secured around the center and hidden by the arms of the snowflakes.  

For the cards made with the opening, I trimmed the edges of the original quarter sheet a bit to leave a margin and then embossed them with a snowflake embossing folder (CB).  Next, I combined a coloured snowflake punchie with a small daisy one using a silver brad to bind them.  The decorative paper was glued to the back of the embossed layer then glue was applied to the card front and this large element was adhered to the card.  The little snowflake embellishment was added using a small glue dot into the center of the snowflake opening.  I really like how they both turned out.             Therese

Christmas Card Kits - Card #2 features an embossed ornament die cut, decorative paper and two decorative coloured strips of cardstock

For Card #2 I put together a few elements including some white embossed ornaments die cuts from my stash.  I added a couple of strips of coordinating cardstock.  One trimmed with the Ribbon punch (SU) and the other trimmed to size and the other simply trimmed.  I did embossed some of them.  These are combined with a layer of decorative paper and coordinating card bases.  Again, these kits are easily assembled requiring only glue.  With a variety of backgrounds and coordinating strips every kit has a variety of cards.  I do love putting together various elements and using versatile sketch to provide some interest in these kits.

Christmas Card Kits - Card #1 features Mary Engelbreit stickers, decorative paper and an embossed flagged strip

 

I have created a few Christmas card kits in response to a friend's request for kits to get started on her Christmas cards at a time when she has time on her hands.  I have created three different designs and made them so they can be simply assembled with glue.  

Card #1 feature Mary Engelbreit stickers from my stash.  I chose three different designs and layered them with red cardstock.  I made only one sample with the Happy Winter because I needed all the others in the kits.  In the end, I discovered that I had miscounted and had one left over to make up a second sample.  I always enjoy putting together card kits because I get to mix and match elements.  I choose a variety of decorative papers that coordinated with the stickers and then added a coordinated embossed and flagged strip and card bases.  I included single layer panel inserts because they are the easiest to glue to the inside of the cards.    Therese
