Love this time of year...(even though it can be stressful!) Time to put up the tree...send out those Christmas cards...hang the fresh pine roping on the fence...string the lights. Love it!
Have you seen the new Christmas papers by Crafty Secrets? So many beautiful patterns! From Vintage to Retro! You can see them all HERE!
I made a fun Christmas Card Box with some of the papers from the Retro Christmas Paper Collection. It is where I will be putting all of the cards that we get in the mail. And it's designed to look like a wrapped present!
I simply cut a large hole in the top of the big box lid making sure the next size box covers it. I then cut a hole in the bottom of the 2nd box and also a slit on the side where the actual cards will go in. My 6 yr. old son will love putting the cards in the slot every day, I'm sure!
I also made a few cards with papers, tags and ephemera from both the Vintage Christmas Paper Collection and the Retro Christmas Paper Collection.
My first real Hybrid Card!
Trust me you will want both of these fabulous collections! At only $9.95 for the Vintage Christmas Paper Collection and only $8.95 for the Retro Christmas Paper Collection you will be able to make cards, gifts, etc for many years to come! For under $20 you will get 65 papers, tags, ephemera, templates and more that can be used over and over again!!
Have fun creating!!
