Last Christmas Card for the Year!

Today being Christmas in all, we spent the day with both of our families.  It gets to be a little much, but unfortunately that is how it worked out this year.  Even though it was a lot of eating, we had a lot of fun visiting with our families and everything.  I got some really great presents that I wasn't expecting either, but those are the best kind.  Enough about how our Christmas went, let's discuss tonight's creation.

Since Christmas is over now, I had to make one last Christmas card before I started making cards until about October or November next year.  First, I stamped the Santa onto a piece of white cardstock.  I then used my Big Shot and circle framelits to cut out the Santa along with another bigger circle for the border. Once that finished, I used my trimmer to cut out the card base, two overlays, and then the two overlays for the little saying.  To finish the card, I stamped "He's making a list and checking it twice..." from the Santa's List stamp set.  This card was pretty simple to make, but it was just what I needed after a long day of visiting and driving.  I will miss making Christmas cards, but it is nice to focus on other themes that I have been neglecting since November.  Until next time, happy carding everyone.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!

Santa!

Even though all of my Christmas card are done, I still find myself thinking of more cards I can make.  There are so many different designs that one can make themed around Christmas and since cards don't go bad, I can use them next year or something.  Using my Silhouette, I cut out the different layers of the Santa as well as the Ho Ho Ho from Miss Kate Cuttables.  Once those were cut out, I assembled them together.  The Santa went together way easier than he was to cut out.  The top overlay took three tires before it didn't come out as one big mess. After the main pieces were together, I found some cute patterned paper from my new Christmas paper packet that made a nice background for Santa.  I then adhered everything together to finish my card.  This card turned out cute.  Christmas cards are always fun to make since there are so many different possibilities and the ideas are endless.  Until next time, happy carding everyone.
