Quick & Easy Christmas Cards....

Hello & Happy Monday Everyone!

How was your weekend? Mine was

relaxing! After returning to work this past

week, I was putting in a bunch of hours...

Already wore myself out and my body aches!

I guess that's what happens when you're off

for 6 weeks! LOL Luckily this is a Holiday weekend

here in Utah! They Celebrate Utah becoming a State, so

It's called Pioneer Days around here... I'm cool with it, cuz it

gives me a chance to kind of recuperate from this first

week back to work! 😃

You all know I make 1-holiday card a week and this has nothing

to do with Christmas in July - So, this week I'll be sharing

(6) holiday cards because I'm behind in making my cards

due to my vacation - Which means I'll be ALL Caught up now! YAY ME!

So, here's one of the cards I made (actually 2) LOL

I decided to cut out an image using my Silhouette Machine, I got the Cameo 3

recently and thought I better put it to work! The file is from the Silhouette

Store (#51751) Tis the Season to be Jolly

I cut it out with Gold Cardstock from Bazzill

I decided I didn't like a plain background so, I made some splatters

using Distress Ink Sprays (Festive Berries & Tarnished Brass)

I then wanted it to Sparkle, so I used my Sheer Shimmer Sparkle Spritz

Spray (Imagine Crafts) - I totally love the shimmer along with the gold

from the die cut. I added Fun foam to give it some dimension since the card

will be flat for mailing out. I added some Ice Cube Mix (Lucy's Cards) &

some Bitty Adhesive Clear Gems (CTMH) - Super Easy to make

Because this was super quick & easy to make, I decided to make 2 of them!

Adds to my Weekly Quota if you ask me! 😉 The backgrounds are a tad

different... one background has more splatters than the other... I like the one with

fewer splatters, my son likes the one with more... I did do the insides as well using

a Sentiment from Scrappy Moms (Merry & Bright Set) and (Candied Apple) Distress

Oxide ink along with some Clear embossing powder - 

2 down a couple more to go!!! 😉

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a Fabulous day!!
