Christmas Card kits - Card #3 - colour printed tags over a torn background

I always make my last card kit a quick and easy one!!  This one features a colour printed tag (Homemade Gifts Made Easy) which I downloaded from the website and colour printed then trimmed leaving a white border.  These are all different which makes the cards all different because I simply chose coordinating papers and cards.  I did add a coordinating simple ribbon embellishment to the tags by adding a bit of ribbon from the front and securing the front and back with double sided tape and then flagging the ends.  I downloaded several sets of tags which worked very well for making focal elements on Christmas cards!!  

I cut a four inch square of decorative paper and tore in into two pieces and then mounted them to my card front.  I added 3D foam tape to the tag and positioned it over the gap at a bit of an angle.    Therese

 

Christmas Card kits - Card #2 - a snowflake wreath with a bow and a printed greeting

For my second card I chose to create a wreath with colourful snowflake punchies.  These were punched from a variety of scrapbook papers - mostly scraps in several greens, dark maroon and gold.  I printed a guiding circle on the white layer to help situate the punchies in a wreath shape. At the same time I added a printed a coordinating font greeting.  Once the wreath is created I added a colourful gold bow and adhered it with a glue dot.  This large element was adhered to a dark maroon layer and then to the dark green card.  The snowflake punchies (MS) make a very effective wreath with nice feathery edges.

Christmas Card kits - Card #11 - peaceful dove with an embossed vellum greeting

A friend of mine who is an enthusiastic card maker has asked for a set of Christmas card kits.  She is very creative and likes to make the card her own.  

For the first card I worked around a white dove die cut (SX).  I layered this one over a dark purple oval (Nestibilities).  It was mounted over a mottled paper (printed digital background) to which I had added a stamped and embossed PEACE greeting (Recollections) on vellum simply folding the ends to the back and securing with double sided tape.  The torn edges of the greeting go well with the mottled background.  The dove is mounted over the oval using 3D foam tape to give it a bit of dimension.  

I made a few different colours to give a bit of variety to the kits.
