Snow Buddies

It's officially December! Time to get serious about those Christmas cards. I sometimes find that creating smaller groups of cards is easier. It allows me to explore my creativity and use up limited supplies like scraps of paper or a bit of ribbon. "Snow Buddies" is my first small set of cards this season. I just love these little characters and once again I've turned to that red/blue/chocolate color scheme!

Difficult to see in the photo, but these little guys have liquid applique on their hats and are standing in snowflake glitter.

I will have more posts with sets of Christmas cards all month long. This weekend is my Christmas card exchange, so come back soon to see ideas that will surely inspire!

Make It From Your Heart~ Cards

I submitted two cards to the Make It From Your Heart contest. They are both done in a Holiday theme and use several new goodies from the Autumn/Winter Idea Book.

The first card was submitted for the Elemental papers. I also used a couple new stamps, Bundled Buddies was on my "gotta have it" list right away and December 25th. I also got to use one of the new Journaling Spots and a Foundry Pin Clip. How much do you love that cocoa grosgrain striped ribbon?

This card uses a completely different Holiday color scheme thanks to the new Believe papers. I love how bright and cheery they are! The card design is from the Fancy File template in the Wishes book. I like how you can pull out the tag to reveal a message or perhaps some Christmas cash! For this card I also used the December 25th stamp set and the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge.

They were not winners, but they are still special to me. I have another two page Level 3 layout to share with you. Look for it soon!
