Christmas Card Time! #1

I went to a crop at my friend Kelly's house some weeks ago. I didn't have my scrapbook stuff kitted, ready to go, so I opted to bring supplies to make Christmas cards instead. Here is what I made in one day!

I made quite a few cards, so I am not going to try to squeeze them all in one blog post. I will share a few at a time, so that you will have a reason to come visit here, since I haven't been very good about finishing layouts these days. 

So here we go. 

Most of these cards are using supplies from SEI's Christmas Mint Collection that I have had in my stash for quite a while. I had used some of this on some PL layouts from 2012, but the kits from SEI are huge and even after all of these cards, I still have quite a bit left!

The card bases come from boxed sets from Michaels. Bought a bunch when they were $5.

For this first set of cards, I kept it simple and used some epoxy present stickers and used Ali Edwards'  Hello Santa Banners for the sentiment.

For these next two cards, I used some foiled chipboard shapes that I tied some bows for from twine. Both of these cards use another Ali Edwards' stamp set from Technique Tuesday. The first I stamped with Stampin' Up ink, the second I heat embossed with white powder.

For these two cards, I found two frames in the die cut pack from the SEI collection. I stamped the "Joy" sentiment from the December Daily Kit from Ali Edwards from 2013.  Using twine, I hung tags from the frames for the finishing touch.

More cards to show soon!

Started on my December Daily and hope to have a few layouts to share today or tomorrow.

Hope you are enjoying the start to your holiday season!
