Christmas Cheer

Hi there, everyone!  Here we are in December already.  Now, I have to do some serious crafting in order to be ready for Christmas.  Anyone else in the same position?

My card today uses the beautiful Maja Design paper collection "I Wish."  This card came together so quickly.  All the paper edges were inked and distressed.  Cardboard was placed below each layer for dimension.  An icicle edge was given at the top using Snow Writer.  The wooden snowflake is from Recollections and was also given a bit of the Snow Writer for some highlighting.  The sweet Christmas tree was cut from the papers with an EK Tool.  Snow Writer was applied to its branches.  A simple red ribbon, baker's twine and jingle bells were tied around the card.  The rhinestone stars are from Michael's.


I love the vintage look of the papers in this collection as well as the sweet images.  It makes cardmaking so easy!


Well, that's all for me today.  The house is halfway decorated for Christmas, so I plan on trying to finish up the rest today.  Enjoy the rest of the weekend.  Thanks so much for taking time to stop by and for your sweet comments.  I will be back on Wednesday with a new post for Secret Garden Crafts.

  7. This is fantastic Patty! I completely agree about these papers, wonderful colours and that image is amazing! Love the snow you added, especially on the tree! I'm lucky to have finished all my Christmas cards already, I really don't need that many to hand out any more, so mostly I make them just for fun. I'm getting reports of snow over the weekend, did you get any?? I didn't see a single flake. sending hugs :)

  8. Oh, that's very stylish - I love the alternating matted layers, and again really lovely papers. The snow-dusted tree is a charming touch.

  9. I love this paper line - lovely card, Patty. I like how you added the snow to it. May I ask what is Snow Writer? Some sort of pen?
