Each year I create cards for a Christmas Card swap with friends from a crafting group. I started my cards, and I thought I would share them!
I’m using the Graphic 45 8×8″ paper pad Nutcracker Sweet. While at first intimidated by the larger images and patterns, I’ve come to love these paper pads, they are actually easy to create with!
On this card I have layered patterned paper with a fussy cut ballerina, a printed label and a printed border. The Visions of Sugar Plums label is adhered with Thin 3D Foam Squares. I added one to the foot of the ballerina then trimmed around it, and then adhered her with 3D Foam Squares. That way the foot was the same height as the body! See how easy this is?
The next card uses regular size 3D Foam Squares for the nutcracker, Thin 3D Foam Squares for the border, and E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips for the background papers.
See, anyone can do this, and the cards look great, will go through the mail great (3D Foam products retain their shape!) and will bring holiday cheer to my friends!
Have a great Saturday!
