Hi Bloggers,
I purchased the embellishments and a 12 x 12inch paper pad of the Pebbles, 'Merry Little Christmas Collection.' Can you believe it - these supplies stretched to make 38 Christmas cards and 5 layouts (please see my previous post)....wow. Every paper in the collection is gorgeous, the colours (red, pink, green, teal and gold) are super nice and the hedgehogs, santas driving cars, reindeers, stockings, flowers and tags are totally delightful.
The hedgehog card below is a copy from the Pebbles Blog. I just love the little guy in the sleigh and paper fringing. Yah....I used my fringing scissors that have been sitting unused in my drawer forever. Bring on more paper fringing!!
The rest of the cards are designed and made by me. They are all simple and easy, just made from the papers and embellishments that were sitting around on my desk. I took the time to mount the tags, embellishments and images onto recycled cardboard and was pleased with the layered and sturdy look this imparted to the cards. Adding the bells, bling and dimensional magic, were all fun little touches. Warning, however, adding bells to your cards, increases the postage as the thick envelopes are often classed as parcels. (tip - use small bells or save up).
More paper fringing - used those finging scissors again.
TFL
PS. Now I just have to find enough friends to actually send the cards to....lol
