I am way behind on my Christmas card making this year. Just haven't been in the mood. That's probably a bad thing to admit but it's the truth. I decided to make a couple of cards today since the cartridge A Quilted Christmas was lying on my crafting table. I used the first image on the overlay. It is on page 29 in the handbook. The hardest part about this cartridge is deciding on the colors of the image. Here is my first card.
As you can see, I used dark red, bright red, green and cream cardstock. I used a red gel pen for the holly berries and gold stickles for the flames on the candles. I used Cricut Craft Room to create my different layers at 4.75, then cut them out and glued them together and put them on a 5X6.5" card base. I added some Christmas ribbon I bought last year at Michael's at the end of the season. All the layers make the card sort of 3 dimensional.
Another feature on this cartridge is an actual card feature. It creates a card by cutting a silhouette of the image on the card and then cuts a lining to go under the silhouette. This makes creating lots of Christmas cards very easy.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. God Bless You!!! Peggy
I didn't get these cards done in time to post this morning. I worked on them some more today so I'm posting late for Thursday and early for Friday.
Have you seen the new "A Quilted Christmas cart"? It's pretty cute. There are a lot of layers to the main image. You can make an image as detailed as you like or simple. You can also do just a silhouette. I used the angel on page 52 for my cards.
The card base is 5X6.5". The angel and all components on this card were cut at 5 inches. There are several layers. The one thing I don't like about this card are the facial features. I wish I was an artist. I would just draw them. The Peace On earth is from Scandinavian Christmas Cards.
This card is made using the card feature on page 52. It was cut at 5.5". There is really no room for a sentiment on the front unless you just put Peace or Joy on it. You could take this cartridge, use the card feature and have all your Christmas cards done in a short while.
