2025 Christmas Cards

These were going to be my 2024 Christmas cards, 

however, l completely changed course last year

and made some other cards instead.

So, these are now my 2025 Christmas Cards! 

I've had the 3-D embossing folder of Poinsettias for years, 

so it was time to put it to use!

I chose gorgeous maroon & gold for my 5" x 7" cards. 

I started by cutting the main card to size; then printing the inside sentiment,

 as well as the 'created by' on the backside.

Unfortunately, when I printed all of the cards, 

the date was 2024 on the back.

So, I had to write a 5 over the 4 - HA!

The font is Papyrus, which I've grown to love.

The gorgeous, high-quality gold glitter paper

is cut to 4-1/2" x 6-1/2", which leaves a 1/4" all around.

On top of the glitter paper is the embossed piece, 

which measures 4" x 6", 

again leaving a 1/4" all around the sides. 

This piece is raised with foam tape for dimension.

I love layered looks! 

I applied beautiful gold wax to the poinsettia petals and leaves. 

This accent really makes them stand out!

The stamen have gold glitter glue applied.  

I found the most perfect dies for my cards.

The word "Peace" with a shadow background

enhanced the front of the card beautifully!

As with all of my handmade Christmas cards,

I always enclose a creation explanation for my friends.

Most are not crafters, so it helps them to understand what they are looking at!

Lastly, I have to say that I found a great color match in envelopes 

at Hobby Lobby.....AND they were dirt cheap on sale!

Everything for these cards just fell into place!

Thanks for stopping by to view my cards.

May you all have a very Blessed & Merry Christmas!

Love,

Lisa

Kay's 2024 Birthday Card

 Even though this collection looks like Spring and we've now entered the Fall season, I wanted to make Kay's birthday card with it because she loves pink.

I usually add mulberry flowers to all of my cards,

but I did something a little different this time.

I utilized the chipboard & laser cut elements in the collection instead!

They are so beautiful!

Of course, there's a shaker, 

as has been on all of my 2024 birthday card creations.

It's placed on top of a pretty die and filled with colorful flowers.

I always love ReneaBouquets products!

This beautiful pink hummingbird is no exception.

I added white & pink stickles to give it some glitz & glam!

I made a tiny 3" x 2" x 1/4" pocket;

then filled it with journaling cards that are corner punched in a scallop design.

Most are decorated with chipboard or a laser cut element.

Something different and cute!

These are the little cards that go into the pocket.

The backside sentiment is printed in pink on white cardstock using the font Montotype Corsiva.

Beautiful Rub-ons decorated it nicely!

Using the collection's chipboard, I decorated the larger 

of the two box-in-box envelopes that hold this card.

Thanks for dropping by!

Have a wonderfully blessed day,

Lisa
