My Christmas Card

in General

Well Christmas might be over and done with but since I still have a good number of items in my un-posted archive (and this is one of them!) I thought I would share my Christmas card design!  Well one of them anyway.  This is the design that I made in bulk but I had a number of other one offs that I sent out too :)

The design is based on this one by my all time favourite papercrafting blogger Kristina Werner.

I started out just with the combination on the far right, then I ran out of those particular papers from the Dashing range of Designer Series Paper, so I tweaked it a little and made some more (far left) in a slightly different combo.  Then I cranked out a few more in the Holiday Harmony range of DSP from the recently retired Spring Mini catalogue and although I really love the brightness of the Dashing papers, I think the design works equally well with the more traditional combination of colours.

Which do you prefer…?

    These cards are lovely and so simple but how do you cut the triangles? I saw the video from Kristina but she has a christmas tree stamp.

    I like the Dashing ones....I think it's because I OD'd on the Holiday Hamony while it was out. And the Dashing is just so perfect for Christmas.
  • Very sweet! They look very effective but not too hard to mass produce !!
  • I love them all! Sorry!
  • I love the Dashing cards, but the Holiday Harmony one stands out more for me. I wish I had bought some of that paper while it was around, I kept talking myself out of it!
