Mass production Holiday Cards 2009

O.K. well if by "mass production" you mean 8 cards then this was mine. After buying all 3 spellbinder snowflake sets I was committed to using them as much as possible. I had decided to send out a few christmas cards (a major task for me who has never in all my stamping years attempted to take this on) and I figured I could put my snowflake dies to use. I love how they look and although they are time consuming I think they are very much worth it. I actually started this project by spending several hours making these snowflakes. I used Pop! tape http://starvingartistamps.com/stampers_magic_pop_tape.html to give each layer some height. After making the snowflakes I made my first attempt at a snowglobe card (see bottom card) which came out O.K. but I wasn't crazy about the overall look of my globe card and decided on this card instead:

I used pop tape to make Eva my eskimo girl a little more solid. I was planning to attach her but then decided she would have more fun if she stayed loose and was able to make snow angels and play in the snow.

Holiday Nativity Tag

Hallelujah! I made a tag! :)

This is an often neglected part of my holiday preparations, for some reason, so I was determined to make tags this year. This is a Nativitag! :)

I wanted a light background for the little scene, but the white was too stark against my pretty metallic paper, so I went with a magazine page instead and I think it works nicely.

It's my fave reanimated magazine - Food and Wine - because of the matte paper it's printed on.

I need to re-subscribe to a few magazines - my supply has dwindled! Hope everyone has a happy and safe Thanksgiving.

Bearing Gifts

For this card I thought I'd emphasize the gifts, not the givers, so I colored the wise men from O Holy Night in greys, and then glittered the gifts. They're much sparklier and nice in real life! :)
