Graphic 45 Let It Snow Cards

 So continuing efforts to oil my rusty skills after a few month’s hiatus, I delved into a Graphic 45 collection I picked up at a whim. Probably during a sale, I had splurged on an 8x8 pad, journaling cards and a set of chipboards from the collection. Must admit it’s fun to use sets like these to create cute holiday cards!

For the first card, I first backed a journaling card with paper from the pad and holographic paper. I then cut down another sheet and used holographic paper as the base layer. I used dimensional tape to layer the pieces. I then used a frame chipboard piece with leftover paper and a red crystal to create one of the embellishments. I added a button and twine to the second embellishment. I then added matching crystals to complete the card.

For the second card, again I used a journaling card, backed it with paper from the collection and a solid tan colored paper for the top layer. I then used another patterned paper from the collection and tan paper as the bottom layer, separating the 2 layers with foam tape. Again, I added chipboard piece and twine for embellishments. I also added green crystals and red candy canes. For an added touch, I spattered white acrylic ink all over the final card.

I do believe the cards turned out festive and am glad I finally delved into this collection that’s been gathering dust! Well, that’s it for today…thanks for stopping by! Till next time, happy crafting!
