I have made another batch of Christmas cards!! I am on track for getting all my cards done in time to be sent in early December. I started with two 12" x 12" pages of decorative paper which featured strips of Christmas images which my sister donated to me as she was downsizing her collection of decorative paper. I worked out the most efficient way to cut the paper to have backgrounds with out having to cut into the strips. These ones are pieced strips of decorative paper. I covered over the second row from the top with one I cut off the top of the sheets which had words I did not want on my cards. I added a strip of dark red with a border punched bottom edge (new to me MS punch) and assembled the pieces using regular tape on the back. I found these greetings in my stash. I trimmed them to size, sponges their edges with green ink and mounted them over the dark red strip. I added little snowflake embellishments which I created using mini snowflake diecuts, sequins and tiny brads. I added them to my card fronts using 3D foam tape. It was good to be back in my craft room creating cards. We are starting into the harvesting season so there are more demands on my time.
