This month we were challenged with card layout.  I chose to use the Most Wonderful Time Product Medley.  A gorgeous suite of products that include stamps, dies, 6×6 papers, adhesive image sheets, stars & tinsel.

I used the stamps & the designer series paper stack for this project.  I also used the Mossy Meadow linen thread from the Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack which I feel just goes beautifully with rest of the card.

I love the gold foil on the red mistletoe background paper and then on the flip side are the trees. I loved this combination together as they are very traditional Christmas colours. I like the simplicity of the card with just the tree and then with the candy canes as the decorations on the tree. I felt that the tree was still a little naked so I used the other tree image as the branches stamped off. I just kept stamping till it filled in the spaces of the tree.

I added the Mossy Meadow linen thread to break up the sentiment and the tree, Then I added a christmas present on the scallop circle in real red so it is quite a subtle tone on tone image.

I made another card but rotated the design on the next card as I cut the patterned paper incorrectly but it enabled me to create another card. I used the scallop circle with the image in real red ink.

Christmas Cards for Customers

Every year I get requests to make Christmas cards for customers to send out to their clients.  I had a request from one customer for 150 cards.  I decided to go with this design.  I chose the Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper pack again and could get lots of cards out of the paper pack.

The stamp set I used is the Illuminated Christmas stamp set from the Holiday Catalogue in real red ink.  I used the stamparatus to line up both of the stamps used.  I complimented the dsp with a strip of card stock.  I layered the oval onto a scallop oval.

My customer is very happy with the design and as there were a few patterns in each pack of dsp I could use various designs.

Again this is another fairly simple christmas card that could easily be duplicated.
