CHRISTMAS CARDS!!!

I finally finished my Christmas Cards around 1 AM this morning. I've been working on them for a few weeks and I am so happy that I am finished. Now I can start working on gifts. My sister in law gave me a box of blank cards with glittery fronts that I embellished on. I used every stamp in the Snow Swirl set and from a few other sets as well. I did my cards on a whim, not planning who I was giving them to or knowing how many to make. I decided that when I finished all the cards I would count them and then decide who to send them to and after I completed all of them I had a total of 50 cards!!! That's 25 less then last year but since postage has gone up I had to cut back some. If I really feel like I need more then I'm going to have some photo ones printed up at Walgreens because I have A LOT of gifts to work on. Some of the photos don't show how truly beautiful these cards are because almost all of them have glitter or some type of bling on them.

A few things to notice are:
- Rudolphs nose is a red rhinestone or "bling"
- The gingerbread man has cinnamon glued on him for a fuzzy look & nice scent as well.
- I used Crystal Effects on the poinsetta seeds & the small ornaments on the "make MERRY" tag & the snowflakes on the green card.
- I also used a little bling on the "make MERRY" tags as well.
- To me the Season's Greetings stamp looks crooked on all the cards but it's not, it's just the way the words are are connected, no matter how I stamped it, it always came out looking that way.

It takes too long to load this many photos so I did a pretty slide show.
