DAY 1:   Holiday Cards

It wouldn’t be the holidays without sending my family and friends a handmade holiday card to let them know I am thinking of them.  I created some different sets of cards to share with you to inspire you to create your own.

Using my Cricut die cut machine and the Winter Frolic Cricut Cartridge I made these two different sets of holiday cards. Tip:  I used  xxxXxxx white card blanks I purchased at local craft store since I wanted to make several of these and it saved time. I combined several different elements from the Winter Frolic Cricut Cartridge to make each card. I used foam pop dots to add dimension to the cards by placing under some of the key elements.  The glitter paper added that extra sparkle I like to see on my holiday cards !
