This is my Christmas card for this year (or at least the second batch of cards for this year). At least several 20 of them are made from this sample. I kind of like it - not to busy. I used smaller note cards and stamped the greeting on the bottom. I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder and did 20 of the wreaths and punched those out with a big circle punch. I also punched 20 large red circles to go behind each wreath for just a little color. I colored the holly berries and ribbon on this one. Although, I don't know if I'll just do the holly berries and/or the ribbon on the rest - decisions, decisions! So, then I glued down the red circle and used pop-up dots between the red circle and the wreath - to give it a little substance.
Card recipe:
Paper: SU note cards; SU Real Red CS
Ink: Real Red
Stamp: SU Heard from the Heart sentiments
Accessories: Cuttlebug embossing folder wreath and SU large circle punch
I haven't been posting too much this last week - because I haven't been doing many cards. It seems like I was just drawing blanks and, finally, yesterday I made up a few cards - which I can't post yet because they are for challenges this week. Well, maybe one of those later tonight - depending on whether or not the challenge opens up late Monday as it usually does and then I can upload another card.
Yesterday was sort of humid and about 75 degrees or so and brought in with the warm temperature a couple of storms last night. I DO NOT LIKE STORMS! It's almost the first part of November and we are still having rain/thunder/lightning! They say there is a possibility of another storm tonight and high winds tonight and tomorrow all day. Yuk!
I can't seem to get into the Christmas spirit yet - last year I didn't even put up a Christmas tree - just a few decorations around the house and a wreath on the front door. Hope this year is better - well, at least most of my Christmas cards are done! I had a batch done before I opened my blog and then this last batch, so I'm good on cards now.
Well, that's it for the blurb on the blog. Later Gator!

Simple and sweet. I love it!
