Spellbinders Friendship is Everything Cards

I’m back today with two Spellbinders Friendship is Everything Cards. The Glimmer Monthly Club for December is this beautiful floral cluster. It’s the perfect size to copic color, or if you’re time-deprived, a quick run through the foiling machine on some colored card stock results in an elegant overlay for your special card.

3 Quick and Easy Christmas Cards

Today, I have 3 Quick and Easy Christmas Cards to share with you. I’m finishing my Spellbinders Club Kits for the Month and creating backgrounds with the Stencil Club and BetterPress Club, so I made these cards quick, easy, and mass-produced. We all need those when the holiday crunch is upon us, right? I’m just curious: How many Christmas Cards do you mail out each year?

Trying to Win the Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest

I had fun with this one, Trying to Win the Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest. It started with this month’s Embossing Folder Club, the lovely Checkered Argyle, which is quite conservative and lovely. Then I decided our little Festive Friends needed to be included (Small Die of the Month Club), and after I got his sweater all argyled to match the background, I thought, “Ugly Christmas Sweater.” So I grabbed the reindeer dies from the Large Die of the Month Club, Cozy Toes Slippers.
