Christmas Cards

 I like making cards as it gives me a chance to use up scrap paper and to add my own sentiment. Sentiments in commercial greeting cards are often too flowery and take decades to read. It's hard to find a card with a simple statement.

For the Young One. This idea came from a hand drawn card with a snowman. I used the Scan n Cut to cut out the gingerbread man, added baker's twin and Christmas light embellishments. The gingerbread man is a reference to the Young One's cocoa mug which became known as The Happy, Little Gingerbread man.

Inside: both "i"s dotted with tiny green crystal stickers

For Himself an origami Christmas tree which I am insufferably pleased with myself for being able to fold.

Inside: a simple pop up technique to make a stack of presents.

Of course in my haste to get the Eldest's Christmas package mailed, I forgot to take a picture of her card. I used the Scan n Cut and followed their cutting directions to make this card from the Brother Canvas Workspace.

I used light blue/light green paper with snow and a coordinating blue paper with a Mama and baby polar bear. On the back one mitten letters cut out to spell Holly and the other Jolly. I also included a personal note.

Did you make any Christmas or New Year cards?
