Christmas Cards 2009

This year I used new techniques thanks to recent purchases: One, I used my new Cuttlebug to emboss and die cut the front of the card, as well as die-cutting the red Bazzil mat. I love it! The snowflake embossing folder was wonderful and so easy to use.

I also used my new Martha Stewart border punch Aspen Snowflake for the front of the card, and used the larger matching snowflake punch to make the embellishment on the "Let It Snow" tag.

Of course, I used Copics to colour in all 30 stamped images (Penny Black stamp).

Stickles on the tag, ribbon slipped through and glued down, and with a bit of patterned paper (Peppermint Twist by K and Company) and these were done!



Happy Holidays everyone!

I'm still verklempt about getting one of these masterpieces. Thank you again, Maureen and I hope your 2010 is off to a good start. I know, I know, if it were only warmer. But it doesn't seem like it's warm anywhere in North America, so we're all miserable, eh?

Wondered over from your other blog and am glad I did. I've worked with pen and ink, but might have to look into these markers. Thanks for sharing!
