Christmas Trimmings

Hello to all the crafty chit chatters out there,

Robyn Leeanne here with you today with some Christmas cards I made using old leftovers from Kaisercraft's Christmas collections.

 I have decided that before I buy anymore Christmas papers I must first use up what I have so here you go. Merry Christmas!

There is still nothing better than a handmade card that is made with love.

Card 1

Made with a Kaisercraft blank red card to start, I cut a piece of contrasting paper slightly smaller than the front of card.

Using a decorative corner punch I punched each corner.

Before sticking that down I added a line of thin washi tape across the top and bottom of the paper.

Then stuck that in the center of the card.

 I added a postcard from the postcards sheet in the collection along with a few gold spots in each corner and a couple of red ones for the holly berries.

Card 2

This card is not dissimilar from the first one with the front piece being cut slightly smaller than the card front and using a corner punch on the each corner this was then stuck down.

Using a postcard picture again I matted it with a glitter cardstock and mounted that with foam mount tape in the center of the front of the card.

I had a small strip of paper leftover so I cut it into 3 strips and staggered them horizontally on the front of the card.

Finished with fussy cutting the banksia flower and mounted that to the left of the center picture and added a few diamond shaped gems.

Card 3 

Using a slimline card I have cut a red glitter cardstock piece to be slightly smaller than the front of the card.

 I have then cut the picture from a sheet of the paper from the collection to be slightly smaller than the glitter cardstock.

 I have mounted the picture onto the glitter cardstock using foam mount tape and the stuck the glitter cardstock on the front of the card.

 I then added a nice verse matted with a checked paper to the front of the card and a strip of the checked paper across the bottom.

 Finished with a couple of small red gems and some thin red ribbon across the bottom with a gold stone.

I hope this has inspired you to make your Christmas cards for family and friends this year.

More importantly have fun and do it with love.
