Wintry Wishes - Christmas cards 2013

My Christmas cards were made using the CTMH Wintry Wishes stamp set.  Most were made with the Pear and Partridge paper from last year.

Some were made with the retired Aspen paper pack.

Both designs have silver shimmer tape for that holiday sparkle.

Gift Pack of 10 Cards

For Christmas, I decided to make a set of 10 cards to give as gifts to my co-workers.  I wanted to create a collection of cards that were diverse.  I used a combination of cards I have made in the past as well as design ideas I found on Pinterest.  Of all the pictures I took of the cards, some how I managed to not take one picture of all ten cards so I will have to post them separately.

This first card continues with my obsession with rounded squares and all the ways you can work with them.

 This is a card I have made before but it's so pretty that it was worth making again.

 CTMH Card Word Puzzle is such a versatile stamp set.  The next two cards were both made using this stamp set.  The ideas I saw on Pinterest.

 This card I have made before - what I like about it the patterned paper in the background means that you don't need to color in the flowers.  And of course the shimmer tape adds that bit of sparkle.

CTMH has great stamps for $2.95 that make such great cards.  I used five different background papers then colored in "YOU" to match the background paper.  Gives each card a slightly different look.

Have you ever run aluminum foil thru your Cuttlebug?  I love the look.  When you use the diamond plate folder - you get great guy cards.

 

But you can also run use aluminum foil as a way to add sparkle and shine for the ladies.

 CTMH For Always paper - great for so many things.  This card is definitely something I saw on Pinterest.
