It's Christmas card season! This is the time of the year that I spend a few days cursing the fact that I have put off making my Christmas cards so long, and then transform into the happy crafter as I pull out my new Doodlebug collection and get to it. Because nothing can ruin a crafting mood, even a time crunch, when you have Doodlebug to work with!
And the new Candy Cane Lane collection does not disappoint. This collection is filled with the most amazing icons and cute characters that are perfect for card crafting. You can create cute outdoor scenes with houses and adorable vehicles, and inside scenes feature Santa, plants and furniture. It's like you have stepped inside "Santa's village", only cuter!
For this first set of cards, I decided to use the Odds &Ends pack to see what I could create. There are so many shapes to work with that you can layer to your heart's content. Add a little foam adhesive for some dimension and you have a set of adorable cards that are still mailable!
And don't worry - if you over-do-it with the cute images on the front (really, is that even possible??!!) you can always add a sentiment on the inside with one of the Chit Chat pieces! I actually love the way these banner pieces add some character to the inside of the card too. The card bases I used are all from the coordinating Cards & Envelopes - Christmas assortment.
Now the only problem I have is that I am still putting off my crafty projects as I spend time flipping through everything admiring all the details and deciding what to hoard...I mean "collect"...I mean "store for later use." The life of a crafter is hard! Thanks for stopping by!
Hugs,
Candy Cane Lane collection
