I have been busy making Christmas cards. I plan to be done making them for my own personal use before Decenber 1. I will continue making them to donate to the thrift store, but the pressure will be off.
I made these two cards using a couple of card bases I had made from some heavy, teal and white cardstock.
Of the two cards, this one is my favorite. I die-cut some jingle bells from silver holographic cardstock. I put them on a silver cord and fixed each one in place on a die-cut panel with a dimensional.
After adding a bow and a popped up sentiment strip, I adhered the panel to the front of my card.
I love the way the holographic cardstock reflects the colors around it.
This card was made in exactly the same way, but with snowflakes.
This time I added some gems to the snowflake centers for a little sparkle.
This is the sentiment I stamped on the inside of each card.
While teal is not the usual Christmas color. I really like how these turned out. I only wish I had more than a single sheet of the teal print!
Do you have a favorite non-traditional color for Christmas cards? I know I've seen some beautiful pastel ones.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

Beautiful cards. I too like the bells.Holographic paper is so great in reflecting whatever color you use. The teal gives a wintery feel. My go for nontraditional is pink
Beautiful, Cheryl! I love those bells. The snowflakes are pretty, too. :-)
I too love the bell card - my favorite.
