What do you get when you have a Cuttlebug, Cuttlebug Embossing Folders, Martha Stewart Paper Punch, Stickles, Ribbon, White Cardstock, Strip of colored cardstock and a rubber stamp?
Our 2009 Handmade Christmas Card!
I can share our card with you because they are all out in the mail. For my family and friends who follow JoansCraftWorld, hopefully they will have already received our Christmas card.
I have been making our Christmas Cards since for a few months now and since I make around 75-100 cards, I need to have a system. Usually I make cards that are layered (of course, more work) but I love the way that they look. So my card this year has 5 layers on the outside, a Christmas saying on the inside, and my holiday signature on the back.
One layer is a one inch cut piece of colored cardstock. (the Paper Studio)
One is a border punch (Martha Stewart Frosty Village Edge punch)
Two are embossed using my Cuttlebug (Swiss Dots and Snowflakes Embossing folders)
And the last one is rubber stamped with an added ribbon embellishment. (Hero Arts)
Oh I forgot to tell you that three of the layers are hand ripped or some people call it hand torn cardstock, for a really cool look.
And to finish each card I added stickles for that special “bling” (Stickles – Star Dust & Diamonds)
Wishing all of my Fellow Crafters a Very Merry Christmas and a Fantastic New Year!
Make it a Great Day and don’t forget to leave time to Craft!
Once again. 2009 Christmas card is FANTASTIC. You’re a fantastic artist. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
