Christmas!
’tis the season…
…to start working on Christmas cards.
It’s the first of October and I hate to mention it but the way the months fly, the holiday season will be here before we know it. I like starting early. I have a neat little pile of cards ready to be signed and mailed and there’s a stash of Christmas presents and stocking stuffers already hidden away. A little at a time is MUCH easier on the budget than a few huge shopping trips in December. Much easier too as I HATE crowds.
Today’s cards are using the new Ho Ho’s and Holiday Blessings stamp set by Avocado Arts. I told you I’d be back! 😉
This first card pairs up this set with August’s ZipnBy to Say Hi set. I’ve turned the globe into a Christmas ornament (pretty sweet, huh?) and did some easy masking to add in those poinsettias.
Supplies: Solar White cardsock by Neenah, Kraft cardstock by Bazzill, Nordic Holiday 6×6 paper pad by Basic Grey, Vermilion Archival Ink by Ranger, Jet Black Archival Ink by Ranger, Pear Tart Memento Ink by Tsukineko, twine, Glue Dot
If you like to keep your holiday cards simple and flat for easy mailing, this card is for you.
