With what I have titled this posting you would think that I had a basic card every year. To be honest this is the first year I have attempted to make a "batch" of the same card to send out at Christmas. I just hope that I haven't bitten off more than I can chew!
This is the card that I came up with. It fits in a standard #10 envelope, for ease of postage. It also allows me lots of room inside the card for writing a personal message. The stamp I used is from Hero Arts. I stamped it with green ink from a set of Color Box Petal Point called Pageant. The bough has been stamped off set on 1 3/4" squares. I coloured the cones with Prismas and OMS. The stamped squares were mounted on red 2" C/S squares. Once three of these were mounted on the card I used my newly acquired Stamp-a-ma-jig to place the Merry Christmas. The final touch, which doesn't show-up at all in this scan, it a few dots of Stardust Stickles to give the idea of a little snow on the pine cones and and star in the sentiment.
I have 5 cards completed and all the squares stamped and coloured. So now I just have to get the rest of the assembly done. I really hope to get them completed by this week-end. Then I can get going on some of the other individual cards and projects I have in mind.
Gosh here it is the end of November, I better get busy as it is soon going to be too late and I can't burn the midnight oil on these the way I use to.
