Our Christmas Cards 2011

I absolutely love to make handmade cards to send out to friends and family for Christmas. I took on a bigger project with these cards than normal, but it was worth it! I created the front of my card with THIS and THIS set from Hero Arts. (I always tend to gravitate towards their stamps every year.) ...

To create the cover, I stamped the musical BG stamp with Versa Mark onto watercolor paper and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Then I randomly applied peeled paint, walnut stain, and fired brick distress stains all over and sprayed heavily with pearlized water. I stamped the greeting in black onto a kraft die-cut. I sprayed that too with pearlized spray. It is so shiny in real life...

I was so happy to find that Silhouette sells a cut to create a CD card. So I cut all the cards on my Silhouette using Neenah cardstock. Here's a peek at the inside...

On the left is the Ruwe Holiday Music Mix for this year....a track list of all the songs on the CD and who picked what. Even Baby Aiden picked some holiday songs. ;) When you remove the CD, it reveals our family pic..

A closer look at our playlist...

That's all I got for now. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!
