Before I get going on projects with my new paper I thought I'd show you some of the other paper things I've been working on. A few weekends ago I started work on Christmas cards. This year I wanted to get away from my standard stamped-image-on-square-on-coloured-square-on-card style so I started by punching out circles in two sizes. Most of this paper is scrapbooking paper but there is also some used gift wrap in there.
After doing all the punching I felt I had to organize things.
And then I got down to glueing. These are some of the designs I came up with.
How about you, are you a start Christmas early person or a wait a minute, Halloween isn't even over yet type? As you have probably guessed I fall in the first category!

Laura, these are awesome!! Especially the one on the bottom left in the second to last photo. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI probably fall into the first category too, but only because I find Christmas to be utterly overwhelming. So I have to break it down into small doses of holiday joy. I have already stashed a bunch of stocking stuffers all over the house where curious little fingers won't find them.
But I have to say, your lovely cards are making me smile today! :)
Love those cards with the circles. Amazing how a simple shape can be so effective.
ReplyDeleteI'm a definitely a 'start Christmas early' person... I started work on Christmas gifts back in February - eek!
ReplyDeleteoooh, very nice. You could also do a cute faux garland swag pattern with these little circles. I love circles.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I totally wait till the last minute. I bake shortbread, like two days before Christmas. And I put off buying the tree till all they have left is the sad Charlie Brown ones. Procrastination...
A "cute faux garland swag pattern" sounds so amazing... but what exactly is it? Can you explain so I can try? :)
ReplyDeleteLove these cards! So chic and simple.
