I'll have a blue Christmas without you...

I love the version of that song as sung by Elvis Presley. In fact, I have a CD of Christmas songs by Elvis, and that's one of them. I get it out every year and listen to it (over and over again!!).

With that song in mind, I made these Christmas cards, using some parts from a partial kit that had been given to me.

The blue-striped, glittery cardstock was from the kit, as was the scalloped circle. I made the card base out of some blue cardstock I had on hand, and the die-cut sentiment circle was made from a scrap of white and popped up.

The sheer ribbon was tied around the top to add some interest and break up the strong, striped pattern of the cardstock.

The fancy snowflakes were stamped with some blue ink. I think I did a pretty good job in finding the right color of blue ink for them.

This is how the card looks when opened. I used a darker blue ink for this sentiment and for the one on the front.

Here's another card I made with more of the striped cardstock and a snow couple image from the kit. The image was matted with a die-cut, scalloped circle. I also die-cut a couple of snowflakes from scraps and the strip sentiment, which was popped up on thin foam strips.

I did the same stamping of a line of fancy snowflakes down the right side of the inside panel.

Here's a photo of the inside of this card. Once again I used a darker blue ink for the sentiment.

Do you listen to some favorite Christmas music at this time of year? If so, I hope you'll share your favorite performers and/or songs. 

If you'd like to listen to Elvis sing "Blue Christmas," here's a link.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and rmember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
