12 Days of Xmas Cards Day 1

Tis the season for making cards! I love making handmade Christmas cards to send out every year. And every year my card list keeps getting longer and longer. I made 50 cards this year! So instead of one giant blog post I thought I’d split them up and post a set every day until Christmas. Though I think I’m starting a bit late and I somehow ended up with 13 photos instead of 12…

So let’s begin! Here is a set of dangly ornament cards.

This year I bought a pack of grey/crandberry/silver/gold patterned paper from Michael’s, and I ended up using pretty much the whole pack. It came with a sheet of dark grey paper with a ton of various gold sentiments on it that I cut apart. There was also a cut apart sheet with bigger greetings.

I had a sheet of clear bubble stickers that I stuck onto circles of pattern paper from the pack cut on my Silhouette. I popped the greeting up on foam and glued white and gold string between the bauble and the “mantle” they were hanging from. Lastly I hand cut tiny little silver tops. I really like how they turned out. The design was inspired by the card challenge over at the StickItDown blog.

See you tomorrow!
