Greg's Christmas Card


Hello I made this card for Greg last night for Christmas. I was going to leave it till we are in the house but then I did not want to not be able to make one for Greg so it's made now and I can not worry about not having one made. This was a SVG file I bought for a new type of card I have never made before it was a window slider card so when you pull the tag, it slides up to reveal the message. I thought it was going to be complicated but it wasn't. I love the jolly Santa. I added some gems on the holly and some glitter gel pen. The card is a normal card and opens up on the side so I can write a message in there too. Thanks for looking.

Christmas Door Card

Hello I made this card recently it's for my Aunty Julie and Uncle Rick in England. In England they have their mailboxes in their front door so this was perfect for them. I started with a green card and then used a kraft cardstock and ran it through a lined embossing folder, I chose that one because it looks a bit like a house material used behind the door. I cut a red door on my Cricut and a wreath. My lovely Greg came up with a good idea instead of cutting a slot in the door, just use a black marker to give the illusion of a slot. I cut a rectangle out for the envelope and used my Cricut to write my greeting. The wreath is cut from Cricut and I added some gems on the wreath and an enamel dot for the door handle. I like this one : ) thanks for looking.

A couple more Christmas cards

Hello I've got a couple more Christmas cards to show you that I've had on the go for about a week. I've been busy with studying and doing stuff at the back of the house with Greg so I'm trying to get all my cards done bit by bit. These two turned out nice.
The first one I used one of the Anna Griffin Christmas cards from the Cricut, it has a nice holly edge. I added a rectangle down the left hand side and used my Cricut to write the greeting. I also used an Anna Griffin outline image which is a bit like a stamp but it draws on the Cricut. I colored this in with pencils. I hole punched some circles out of a scrap of the red glitter paper for the berries on the holly. I added a sticky washi tape along the join.
For the second one I embossed a panel using my holly embossing folder then added 2 more strips, on one I stamped my greeting. I cut a tree in foil green on my Cricut. This all went onto a gold card. Thanks for looking.
