First Christmas Card for 2010


As you know, I finished all of my Christmas cards last weekend and got them mailed. I saw a card similar to this on SCS though and just HAD to try it. I can't give credit to whoever posted it on SCS as I don't remember who it was.

I guess this will be my first Christmas card for 2010! It's never too early to start on next years cards.

There was no stamping on this card. I punched out the little branches with a MS punch and placed them in a circle for the wreath on white CS, matted it on Real Red, added a few red rhinestones to the wreath, and tied the bow with my trusty Bow-Easy to finish it off. I attempted to emboss a "window" for it to be "hanging" in but really don't like how that turned out. (You can't really see it in the picture unless you enlarge it.) I think if I had cut some squares and then sponged the edges it would have looked more like a window.

Anyway..........thanks for stopping by...............

No truer words have been spoken. You'll have to tell me about this bow tie thingy. I'm new to that.

I can't believe you've already started on next year's cards. I still have almost 20 more to make for this year! I like that this has no stamping. Gives it a very clean look. I do see the "window" on the close up and I think it makes a nice backdrop to your wreath. If you don't think it shows enough though, you always have time to tweak the design within the next 375 days before Christmas 2010.
