Christmas Cards Anyone?

I have a hankering for Christmas card designing.....These are all 4x6. Definitely the cheapest size to print. But, I could make any size really. :) Sepia and black and white photos look spectacular with these.  We could have a green theme, or blue, or pink, whatever! And they wouldn't have to have a vintage style either. 

Velvet with Glitter

Levi's card for his cousin and best friend's birthday. He did a pretty good job, I think!

Creating something fun with MESSY micro glitter is one of the things Levi had been begging to do. And so, I promised he and I would play with it on his 8th birthday. (8th! Where has my little boy gone?!?!?) Have you played with Micro Glitter? These are no ordinary sparklers. This is MICRO glitter. Once you have burnished the stuff onto your adhesive, it STAYS put! Another thing. If you glitter a background (like both projects shown), it will feel like VELVET. We found plastic letters to use as a mask for the title on Levi's card, and he cut out a design on the glossy paper adhesive backing. I used the Glimmer Mist Butterfly Mask from Tattered Angels. The other supplies I found at one of my local LSS, complete with the glitter colors, adhesive sheets and magnet cloth. It took all my will power not to buy every color she had!

Wintery Wonderland

My twin photographed us this super snowy day at our local park. I wanted to send out Christmas Photo cards, but there wasn't really a day where the snow hung so heavily on the trees. (I wanted a family photo showcasing our winter wonderland.)
Have I mentioned how much I love http://www.houseof3.com/ products? That's where I got the damask brush on the left side of this pic.

I'm brainstorming ideas on how to design couch pillows using the damask brushes. I'm thinking embroidered cushions.....



This is the bottom of my skirt that I made for the Christmas holidays. I had the supplies in the beginning of December already, but didn't actually finish the thing until Christmas Eve. :) Crazy me, I know.

One of ten cards I made for a card exchange.
