Hello! Today I have my April Christmas Cards to show you. As most of you already know, I play the Splitcoaststampers Christmas Card Challenge where we make Christmas Cards all year long so that were not stressed out during the busy Holiday Season. I make five cards a month so that I will have over fifty at the end of the year. I make a long style card (4 1/4 by 8 1/4) so that I can fit a photo card inside along with a Christmas letter. To keep it easy on myself, I pick one layout and make five cards using that same layout.
This month I used the same layout and main image on all five of my cards, but I didn't have enough of the same designer paper to use on all my cards, so I switched that up a bit.
Here is my first card: The snowflake is a Sizzix die which I covered in glittered. All the sentiments were cut from a single sheet of designer paper. All the designer paper is from DCWV (very old). I used ribbon and old embellies from my stash to finish off the cards. An MFT die was used to cut the banner beneath the sentiment.
When I ran out of my glittery snowflake paper, I switched to this brown and white polka dotted one. I used red and white ribbon behind my sentiment, and added a felt heart button, brown twine, and red and green ribbon for embellishment. The little white dots you see on all the cards are adhesive dome crystals.
And here is a group shot!
Have a great day! Amy
