Happy New Year Friends! I hope the new year has welcomed you with great joy! I've been away for awhile and taking in lots of family time. So happy to come into the new year fresh and ready to go. I am excited for all the new and exciting adventures this year has in store. I hope you will join me as I share my adventures and creations with you. Let's start off with a little rewind from last month. I fell in love with the
Make it Merry collection from October Afternoon the moment I saw it. The vintage images are adorable and I knew this would be the collection to use for my Christmas Cards. Since the holiday season was flying by and I was beginning to feel the pressure to complete all the things I wanted to create. I knew the
Make a Card 12x12 sheet would be perfect for making fast and fun cards. Here are 5 of the cards I created using the images from the Make a Card 12x12 sheet and other patterned papers from the Make it Merry Collection.
These cards came together so quickly and I loved it! I was able to get my cards done so fast with only adding a few touches to the cards. I picked a portion of each image that I wanted to highlight and added Stardust Stickles. I wanted to conserve my Tim Holtz Silver Tinsel Twine just in case I needed to make extra cards, so I just added a bit of Scor-Tape to adhere to the side or bottom of each image. This tinsel has great sparkle and I ended up barely using half of the tinsel, so I still have plenty to use on future projects.
Hope you enjoyed my little rewind and I'll be back soon to share more.
Have a great day and thanks for visiting!
