"Tis the season to be
jolly, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!"
Christmas really isn't very far off, are you ready? Do you have all you cards made and ready to
go? Haaaa! Nope not me, I send my cards out on December
24th, and that's if I'm lucky.
We can always hope that we'll
get better, right? So today I have a
pretty card for you made from this year's Christmas collection, St. Nicholas
and I have a Snapguide tutorial to make this card. I used bits and pieces from the St Nicholas
collection but you can easily substitute for any items that you don't have.
Tips:
One thing I really love are
the ephemera cards that come with each collection. They are the perfect centerpiece for card
and tag making.
Use foam tape to pop up
different layers and elements on your cards, it adds dimension and
interest. Even better, use cardboard in
place of foam tape, that will save you some money.
Take a look at my Snapguide tutorial to replicate this card:
I added a banner to the right side of the card and extended it beyond the card so that I'd have lots of room for my floral cluster and ribbons. This is one of those cards that is really bulky so it'll be hand delivered. The Petaloo pine pick and anemones look so pretty with the St Nicholas collection, well, I had to put them on this card!
I used a simple treatment on the inside with an ephemera card where I can write a personal message.
