CCC02/10

Hey, everyone!

Guess what I made? A Christmas card! LOL Don't throw tomatoes at me! I know, I know!! We just had Christmas and many of us are probably not so eager to get a jump start on Christmas cards and projects, but there are actually quite a few paper crafters and non-paper crafters for that matter, that start early shopping bargains, sales and getting good deals so that it's not such a burden later on in the year! This year I decided that all of my customers are so special to me that I would like to send each of you a special Christmas card and so I will spend the next 10 or 11 months making about 3-4 cards each month and when it's time to I will mail them all to you! Want to see the first one I made?
The challenge was to make a "long" card. This card measures 6½" x 6½" and then I scored it at 3¼" on my Scor-Pal. I used The Angel Company's Penelope paper collection. The tag is from the Penelope paper pack and I stamped "peace on earth" from TAC's Tag Tidbits stamp set in Noir Palette Hybrid Ink. The purple circle is punched with the Super Jumbo Circle Marvy Clever Lever punch from TAC. The scalloped circle is punched with my Mega Scalloped Circle Marvy Clever Lever punch, also from TAC. I used the Willoughby ribbon and just love it! The self-adhesive pearl on top of the tag is from my stash and the scalloped circle layer is on pop dots for dimension.

Now if you are not in the mood to make your holiday greeting cards this early in the year, I don't blame you! LOL But you can still take these measurements and TAC tools, grab your favorite stamps and papers and create a fabulous card, too! The bonus is that this card will fit in a business sized envelope for no additional postage! You gotta love that! Hope you'll share your links with me so I can see the cards you have made, too!

Angel Hugs,
