Christmas Cards Are Ready

Here is this years Christmas cards and I love how these turned out.
Make sure you click on the picture to really see the detail of this one.



Supplies:  Pink Paislee Tinsel Town, Imaginisce and K&Co Rubons, Ranger Stickles; star dust, silver, frosted lace, WeR glitter brad, Tim Holtz distresser tool and I Top Brad Maker and 16mm brad.

You will need 5 graduated circles from 3" down to 1".  If using the Creative Memories circle cutter system it would be as follows...

  • 1" using small inner circle with green blade


  • 1.5" using small inner circle with red blade


  • 2" using medium inner circle with blue blade


  • 2.5" using medium inner circle with red blade


  • 3" using large inner circle with blue blade

For the card that is attached to the back side you need to fold your paper in half and use the outside of the small circle with the red blade.  Place the circle on the fold and cut the circle leaving a small portion of the fold intact for the top of the card.

Distress around all circles and cutouts from the paper.  Layer circles and punch small hole in the center of them all.  Arrange your cutouts where they look good to you and adhere with small amount of glue.  Punch hole in top for hanging and place a small piece of ribbon behind and pierce a hole.  Place brad through the hole and the ribbon.  Before closing brad, make sure to wrap your string for hanging first then close brad.  Use the stickles to apply over the distressed edges and also to make dots to finish the card off. 

Whalla!  Easy Peasy.  :)
