Do you send out Christmas cards? Every year I mean to send them and then run out of time! So how do you get around that? Make them now!
I decided to use the Oh What Fun Cards and Envelopes Pack along with all the new Doodle Cuts and Doodle Stamps to make a set of Christmas cards.
For the first card I kept it very simple. I used a piece of Lily White Candy Stripe Sprinkle Petite Prints for a mat and cut the scalloped end using the Borders and Edges Doodle Cuts dies. I then decorated using the Oh What Fun Puffy Words and Puffy Icons.
For my second card I used the Happy Holidays Doodle Cuts to make my fun Santa. I matted the card with Limeade Gingham Linen Petite Prints. I used the Puffy Words again for my sentiments.
For my third card I cut a rainbow of trees using the Merry Christmas Doodle Cuts. I cut only the trees that don't have a trunk since that area was going to be covered up. I used a blending brush and inks to ink a little coordinating halo behind the different trees. I blended along the bottom in red. I then added a white strip and topped that with a Ladybug Plaid Polka Dot strip. My sentiment is cut with the die set but I cut it several times out of white and layered them together before topping with the red sentiment.
For the next two cards I stamped and colored the images from the Oh What Fun Doodle Stamps set and cut them with the coordinating dies. There is a little tag die on that set that I used for the front of this card. I added two 1 1/4" wide strips of Limeade Gingham Linen Petite Print to look like ribbon on a package. I tied Ladybug Chunky Twine on my tag and adhered it with foam tape. The sentiment is from the Puffy Words.
The next card I matted with a 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" Candy Stripe Sprinkle Petite print. I used the Puffy Words again for my sentiment on a strip of white cardstock that I lightly inked with red ink. I put all my little colored gingerbread men at the top and my ornaments at the bottom. I added some Ladybug Doodle Twine to make an ornament garland or sorts.
For my last card I used the Deck the Halls Doodle Cuts to make a shaker. I filled the shaker with the new Christmas Confetti and Peppermints Shakers. I matted the front with Bumblebee Dot Stripe Petite Prints topped with a white panel that had been lightly inked in pink. I finished it off with the sentiment from the Puffy Words and some snowflakes from the Snow What Fun Shape Sprinkles.
I have a process video for you, detailing my cards on my YouTube channel!
