Gecko Galz November Customer Challenge

We are getting ready for Christmas and I do love making Christmas cards. I have made a card that makes me think of Sugar Plum Fairies dancing in your head !!!!


The card base is green cardstock and the card front is cut from Gecko Galz Christmas Dreams paper pack The image is from the collage sheet Little Christmas Magic that I matted in red. I added some clear rhinestones to the big polka dots and stamped a Merry Christmas sentiment.

Wee Ones”






Here are my samples:





Kraft paper is used for the card base and I had this snowflake paper in my scrap drawer (was so surprised to find snowflake paper in brown !) The image is also matted in the kraft paper. I printed out the sentiment on my computer and rounded the corners. I inked around everything in brown ink. The inside of the card says " From the Bird Family"



Just a little thank you card. The base is a dark pink along with the matting for the image and sentiment. The card front is embossed with a Tim Holtz brick wall embossing folder. The thank you was printed out on my computer in dark pink. As usual, everything was inked in brown. 


The card and mattings are done with a blue gray cardstock. The card front was a scrap from my scrap drawers. Good Luck was printed in blue from my computer. Everything inked in brown. This card can be used for alot of things which can be printed as a inside sentiment (on a new home, a promotion or new job or retirement) !


The card base and mattings are done in kraft paper. The card front is a piece of glossy paper that I used alcohol ink to make the stripes. The For You  was printed in brown on my computer. Everything inked in brown.

Please follow my post, I try and give out images from my vintage postcard collection every week ( that is when my computer doesn't go crazy and lose my blog like it did just before the blog hop !!!
