Mojo Monday set forth their final sketch challenge until the new year, and thankfully I needed a couple of cute Christmas cards for my son’s preschool teachers, which meant I just had to make time amidst all the holiday hustle and bustle to whip up some fun little cards.
I used papers from the Recollections Christmas Noel 12×12 paper pack and some white card stock from my stash. I inked the edges with white and green and pink pastels, and added stitching around the outer edges. I also punched a small shape for each of the cards to add a little flair to the white tags and embossed each tag with a different snowflake pattern. The bows were the final touch; and as you can see, they give each card a completely different personality.
Merry Christmas and thanks for popping by for a peek.
your cards are just beautiful! and I love how you used the pattern papers and tags! Just beautiful!
Thank you, Sharon. I’m always looking for ways to dress up plain stamped sentiments. Sometimes patterned pattern interferes with stamped images, so I go with blah paper. In this case it doesn’t get any more blah than white card stock, so I added all the little touches to jazz up the tag a bit.
Those great big merry and jolly images are real eye catchers!
Hope you have a great big merry and jolly Christmas!
Thanks, Mary. Aren’t those fun images!! Too bad I only get to use them once a year.
