What are those lyrics? Time keeps on slipping into the future? I seem to be having a problems finding time, as it keeps slipping away from me. So I am not going to give out all the holiday cards that I thought I was going to this year. But I have made progress. I made about 50 cards. The people I have given them to have liked them.
Today, I made another six cards to give out this Christmas Eve. They are pretty simple and I got inspiration from Michelle Short, who has a blog called the Card Grotto. She creates very simple cards that are just gorgeous.
I used the following dies to cut out the snowflakes: Simon Says Stamp! Kinley, MaryAnne, Nadine, and Rylynn; and, My Favorite Things Let It Snowflake.
I totally copied her idea for another four cards.
I backed all the negative space with a light blue cardstock, so that I wouldn’t get lost in all the white of the card. I stamped the same sentiment on all the cards. I used “Merry Christmas” from the Hero Arts Holiday Sayings set. I didn’t want the sentiment to scream at you, so I used Simon Says Stamp! Smoke dye ink so that it was softer.
If I want to get cards out to everyone on the list in my head, I guess I am going to have to start in January. 🙂
