Handmade Christmas Cards II

Here's a few more cards I made. First, I sewed (by hand... I recommend using a machine for this) white lace that is trimmed with gold to white cardstock. Then I cut out some triangles. I got enough to do two cards with the gold trim hanging down and a third card with three smaller triangles, all with the gold trim pointing up. For the first card, I glued some funky white dollar store paper (kinda looks like snow to me) to the front of the card. Then I stuck on the lace tree. I finished the top of the tree with a small metallic gold round bradfrom the dollar store. Above the tree, the angel is a clipart that I got from WPClipart. I used some gold digital paper from Raspberry Road Designs to make the angel more funky. Finally, I used my silver Color Box stamp to edge the card in silver.

For the Second card, I chose some red paper with gold accents that I got in a scrap paper pack from Micheals craft store. I got the Christmas greeting from Papercrafts Magazine free downloads. Again, once I stuck my lace tree to the paper, I finished it with a metallic bronze brad from the dollar store. I edged the card and the greeting with my gold Color Box stamp.

For the third card, I used blue paper with a swirly pattern that I got years ago in a giant block of paper from Micheals craft store. I think it looks like snow blowing in the background. I layered some of the snowy white dollar store paper at the bottom to look like snow hills. Then I glued on the three small lace trees. They didn't need brads because the tops had gold lace up. I drew a small star in the 'sky' and filled it in with my silver Color Box stamp. I also edged the snow hills and the card with the same stamp.
