I hope it has been a lovely holiday season for you all. I’ve been swamped with school and I wasn’t able to get these posted until now. Hopefully, I’ll get back to a schedule soon.
This last year I made some fun Christmas cards for the girls I do visit teaching in my church. They were super fun to make and not all that difficult. They are just as is, that is to say, they don’t open up.
The first one is the Santa Clause. This one was a little difficult because of the cotton. It could have also been because I was picky. I spent a good long while getting it to look the way I wanted it too. But I think it turned out great. I finished it up with little boggle eyes. Super cute.
The Red-nose Reindeer was also a little difficult. The antlers were a little tricky. You need to cut them both out at the same time so you don’t have to worry about cutting it out the exact same. I, unfortunately, couldn’t decide on the eyes. I wanted to do button eyes but didn’t have any on hand so I just let it go as is.
The Elf Shoes were probably my favorite. They just look so cute and I was able to add in twine to it. I love using twine, maybe too much. I probably would’ve have used different card stock as the base but it still looks pretty good!
Overall these cards took a little more time than the others I’ve had. Mostly because it involved a lot more arranging than planned. I hope you enjoyed these designs! It’s late but Happy New Year!
