Holiday Cards Using Frosted Paper

Here are 2 more cards from my Holiday Card workshop on Friday. Both use the Frosted Paper. 

I cut Twilight paper 8 1/2 x 4/1/2 (scored at 3 inches) and 7 x 3 (scored at 3 1/2 inches). I cut the Frosted paper 5 1/4 x 4, 2 3/4 x 4, and then 3 1/4 x 2 3/4 twice. The final piece was a 1 inch circle punch in Frosted. I stamped using twilight ink and the stamps from the Frosted card kit. The circle is adhered with 3-D foam tape so the paper can tuck underneath and hold it closed. I finally accented with a few bitty sparkles. 

It is really easy to put together once you figure out the dimensions. 

I'm thinking about doing something like this for my family Christmas card. I can add a wallet size picture on one inside flap and a quick family update on another. Then have everyone sign right in the middle.  

This is a quick and easy card using Frosted  and Ruby paper. The Noel is cut from the Artiste Cricut Cartridge. The tree is stamped in slate ink using a tree from the Always Grateful set. The card base from the Colonial White Value Pack. Add a little Glitz at the top for the star and we are good to go.

Are you planning on your Christmas cards yet? Or is it still too soon? I plan and plan and yet don't actually make them until the end of November or early December. I seem to like the planning stage more than making them all in bulk. 

Hope you have time to craft today. Be sure to have fun with paper at every opportunity.
