Christmas Card Roundup

 Hello!  I realized there are several Christmas cards I made in recent months that I haven’t shared here.  I am getting behind on my Christmas card goal, but I still am working on it.  

This first set was really easy. I just heat embossed the Hero Arts background stamp in white and used different blue distress oxides to sponge an ombré look.


This next card was made with bits and pieces leftover from other projects.  The cardinal is Just for Fun and the pine cones CTMH.  

Thanks for stopping by today!

Christmas card goal to date: 40

Christmas cards done to date: 32

Wow not far from your goal, I haven't counted my cards in awhile, guess I need to do that again. Great blending of the colors and such a pretty cardinal to go with those great papers!

Wow Heidi! That emboss resist blended background is stunning! I love the different variations in the blue hues! Perfect for Christmas! That cardinal bird is so pretty! Love the wonderful papers you've paired with i along with your textured background behind him! Cardinals are a fave of mine for Christmas, but yet I never seem to use one! Thanks for the inspiration!
