It may seem crazy, that I’m starting on my new 2012
Christmas line of cards, tags, and more. But, lately I’ve been thinking about
what cards I want to have for sale in my shop; and, I don’t want to wait until
the last minute. For some reason Christmas cards are a little more challenging
for me than baby shower cards, invitations, and Birthday cards; so, I figured designing Christmas cards early this
year would save me tons of stress. I tried my best to get super creative with this card and I think I did well in capturing the beauty and warmth of my favorite
holiday.
Here are the materials I used for this card: Cream card
stock base, Kraft card stock frame, Recollections New Christmas paper stack,
ribbon, Lawn Fawn stamps, Inkadinkado Christmas stamps, Black ink, red chalk
ink, and my new crafty toy: my gelly pen!
I took a close up shot of the faux stitching I used on the
card with my new gelly pen. I’ve seen lots of papercrafters use this particular
pen and I wanted to give it a try. So far, I'm happy with the results.
Thank you for visiting today for another ‘Card of the Week’
post. Let me know your thoughts on this design. I’d love to hear from you!
xoxo
