TRADITIONAL OR NOT CHRISTMAS CARDS

October 7, 2021

Which is your favorite? The traditional Christmas card with red and green or

Non traditional using Mint Macaron & Blushing Bride. In some ways it still follows the traditional just in lighter shades. The first card was made with Heartwarming Hugs, one of my favorite papers that carried over from the 2020 Holiday Catalog. The second one was made using the new Whimsy & Wonder from the 2021 Holiday Catalog. Both cards are quick and easy to make and use some of my favorite products including the Wonderful Snowflakes. They are die cut and ready to be added to any card.
