Christmas cards

I finally got all the cards done and in the mail a few days ago!

This one is just layered matting behind a picture I aquired from a friend that works for a printing co.

The patterened paper for these "helped" with the message on the inside. The star is a metal "jeans stud" that I have had stashed away for a while.

Using up scraps of ribbon and paper. I thought the phraze was cute.

One with shiny papers that I saved from the insides of envelopes or various packaging. The other is made with textured papers. I love to use recycled materials in my cards!

I have had this one marked to make for a couple of years now and it just never "made the cut". I don't know why I waited....turned out cute! I did color the tops of the "baby" buttons as they were a pastel blue.

Some of the first ones I made this year when I had the sewing machine out. The trees are stitched then I added sequins for the ornaments.

These ornaments are cut from various papers and then colored in with glitter pens.

LOVE this one ....the pattern was for a gift bag. Another one that I have looked at for a few years and didn't do. Another cute phrase!

Another gift bag idea turned into a card. The scarf is fabric threaded through slits and tied in a knot.

More trees. The individual peices were stitched around the edges before they are attached.

These ornaments are drawn on and then colored in with glitter and gel pens.
