Christmas Cards Using CTMH Pear And Partridge Card Making Kit

Hello everyone!!  I am so sorry that the East coast was hit with such a terrible storm and my heart goes out to the families there who have lost loved ones, homes and so much more.  It is difficult to watch the heartache of these wonderful people and not be touched.  They are in my thoughts and prayers and I hope things get better for them soon.

 

I decided to create some Christmas cards using the CTMH Pear & Partridge Card Making Kit.  It includes cards/envelope, stamp set, paper and cardstock with embellishments to create 15 beautiful Christmas cards.  You can create several more cards using the left over materials and your own cardstock stash and cards with envelopes.  I haven't gotten that far yet; but many other consultants have made 8 - 10 additional cards with the scraps.  I will let you know how many I come up with when I am finished.

 

The kit contains 3 different styles and you create 5 of each style.  This is the first one I created; so I have 5 cards to share with you today.  I hope you enjoy my creations.  I like to add my own take on things; so I used a holly embossing folder on two of them, added a holly punch and used CTMH Cranberry ink rather than Cocoa ink to my cards.  I also forgot to ink the edges.  I was excited and got in too big of a hurry to get them done.  I also turned the bow around as I liked it better my way.  I was always a rebellious child.  LOL.  I made several mistakes in my hurry to get them done; so I plan to do the remainder at a more relaxed pace.  HA!!

 

 

  

I used CTMH Cocoa Ink on the card base on the left side per instructions; but I used CTMH Cranberry Ink for the sentiment.  All others I used the CTMH Cranberry Ink for the card base and for the sentiment.

I used the Sizzix Holly Embossing Folder on the red cardstock on these two; which I also made several mistakes.  I liked it better with the plain cardstock without the embossing. 

 

  

Supplies I used for these cards:

Thank you so much for visiting my blog.  I hope my creations inspire you to create something for someone.  I appreciate all your wonderful compliments and will try to answer them within a few days.   Christmas is just around the corner and this is my first year to make Christmas cards.  I have a hard time giving people store bought cards after getting used to making all my cards.  I may still have to send them to some people; just because of the volume I send each year.  I hope someday to replace all the purchased cards for all hand made cards.  Have a fabulous weekend!! 

 

Remember - Keep On Creating!! 

It's Good For Your Health!!
