I started playing with Christmas Rose, Christmas Cardinal, and Winter Chickadee precoloured digi sets from Fred She Said, and before I knew it I had designed 8 different cards using Silhouette Studio. I'm not one for mass producing cards, so you'll find that each one is unique although they all use the same 3 images. 🎄
I also used the sentiments that are included with the Christmas Rose set of digis. The above cards are all 6.5" x 5". All digis are pre-coloured and printed onto photo paper, then cut out using the print/cut feature on the Silhouette.
Then I made another 5 slimline cards, using the same images and the sentiments from the Christmas Rose digi set. The Christmas Candles card was printed directly onto the cardstock as I could not get the image traced. I used smooth cardstock and it came out beautifully. The only difference is that it doesn't have that little bit of texture.
Now if you want to see each individual card, I have all the pics below, but there are a lot of pics, so if you just want to find out how to join our challenge, then please scroll all the way to the bottom of the post. If not, then I hope you enjoy. Since I always like to carry the theme of each card onto the inside, I have also included pics of the inside of each card. So let's begin ...
Card No. 1 - using Christmas Rose
Card No. 2 - using Christmas Cardinal
Card No. 3 - using Winter Chickadee
Card No. 4 - using Christmas Cardinal
Card No. 5 - using Christmas Cardinal and Winter Chickadee
And that is the end of all my cards for today. These have all been added to my Christmas stash 😀
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I would love to you see you play along with us. You have until noon, CST, on 13 August 2024, to link your project to our challenge.
Crafty hugs,
Oh Lena, you have outdone yourself with these gorgeous cards! They remind me of mid century Christmas greetings, especially the candle image. These are all so stunning!
