I started creating Christmas cards using this brightly coloured paperpack. It's never too early to start on Christmas! I have not put any sentiments on yet as I was doing a bulk set of cards for the moment and will choose what I want to go on the front depending on who I will be sending it to.
I love how bright this pack is and how it reminds me of Christmas when I was a child. I used the coordinating cardstock as a matte on the card base, and used the patterned paper as the focal point. On the Poinsettia paper, I used the Icicle Stickles in the centers to add a little dimension and sparkle. On the gnomes, I coloured it in using the Red Shimmer Brush giving it a bright and glittery look. These gnomes are adorable! This set came from a previous mini catalog, but can still be purchased online. Our new catalog features 2 more gnome stamp sets that you could use in place of the one I used.

I really enjoyed creating with this paper pack. I loved the Christmas theme, and I can't wait for Christmas! Now I just need to make my Christmas card list of who to give to. Do you prefer to make homemade cards or buy cards to give out? Leave a comment below to let me know. (I know, we haven't even got through Halloween yet and here I am talking about Christmas!)
I hope you are enjoying everyone's projects. You are now heading off to Kristine's blog.
