8 Weeks of Christmas Cards !!

WEEK #1

I know we are just in August but I am determined to be prepared this year with having my Christmas Cards done far in advance so I can concentrate on all the other Christmas projects, gifts etc. I thought maybe there might be other crafters wanting to do the same thing so I decided I am going to post at least one Christmas card once a week for 8 weeks.

Today is Week #1 of the 8 week entries. I hope it gives you all some inspiration for getting a jump start on your cards done early this year.

This is a 3 1/2 x 8 card. I used CTMH papers and embellishments. It is the Jingle paper pack, C1371 Holiday Jingle stamp set, Olive & Tulip inks, Organdy white daisy ribbon, Tulip Twinkle brads, and White Daisy, Juniper, Tulip card stocks.

One of the papers in the Jingle Level 2 (now retired) has many border strips that are curved. I used a piece from the Trees strip and the  Gift packages strip. The Ho Ho Ho is a stamp that I inked each "HO" in a different color using the Masking Technique. The first one is Juniper, then Olive and then Tulip. The ornament in the last one has a 1/4" strip inked with Blush across the center with 3 Tulip Twinkle brads added. I inked all the papers with Olive except for the stamped piece I used Tulip. I finished with adding a bow with White daisy  Organdy ribbon.

Check back next week for another card or cards.
See you then.
