Happy Thanksgiving to all of our stateside friends! We hope you're enjoying time with family and friends and getting stuffed with turkey!
Elizabeth Gardner is the maker behind these three amazing Christmas cards:
Supplies: White (71259) - Cardstock, 6x6 Paper Pad (366119) - Peppermint Express, Border Punch (63013) - Knock Outs Value Kit, Bakers Twine (366302) - Premium Ribbon, Gingermint Phrase Stickers (366107) - Details, Jinglemint Dimensional Star (366110) - Remarks, Frostymint Die Cut Tag (366109) - Bits, Satin Ribbon (366109) - Premium Ribbon, Figgymint Die Cuts (316108) - Bits
Elizabeth says, "I think I included a little bit of everything from the Peppermint Express collection on this one card! To me it just screams Merry Christmas, and hey, that's the point."
Supplies: Cocoa Lane (366096) - Peppermint Express, Iceplum Dimensional Snowflakes (42276) - Remarks, Figgymint Die Cut Shapes (366108) - Bits, Bakers Twine (366302) - Premium Ribbon, Hollymint Wood Clothespin (366115) - Whittles, Ribbon (366117) - Premium Ribbon
"I thought it would be fun to do a monochromatic take on a holiday card. The ribbon lent itself perfectly to an ombre effect for the background and the rest came together rather effortlessly."
Supplies: 6x6 Paper Pad (366119) - Peppermint Express, White (71259) - Cardstock, Figgymint Die Cut Shapes (366108) - Bits, Solid Ribbon (366117) - Premium Ribbon, Hollymint Wood Clothespin (366115) - Whittles
"Just because it's a card doesn't mean it has to fit in an envelope. This kind of card would serve perfectly on top of a gift in place of a bow or placed under the tree in the pile of presents with a lovely gift card inside. Sometimes the card is the wrapping!"
You have a great talent. These Christmas cards are very cool. Do you own a shop?
