Thursday Thirteen 446: Thirteen Cards

This week I am sharing thirteen of the 60-some assorted cards made during December and January that were for occasions other than Christmas. Every year I give a set of 50 to one of my friends who does not craft, consisting of a variety of thank you, birthday, sympathy, get well and thinking of you cards. This year I also added several baby, after coming across some dimension stickers and rub-ons that needed to be used up. The dimensionals were so old I had to doctor all of them, replacing the old, dried-up adhesives with new. A few of the birthday cards were set aside for personal use. Additional accessories include grosgrain ribbon, buttons, a scallop edge punch, and decorative brads.

Thursday Thirteen 443: More Christmas Cards

For your viewing pleasure, I have thirteen more Holiday cards made this year. I churned out about 50 cards over the last weekend, all of which were either handed out or posted Monday.

All of the "Santa Postage" cards were made
from a sheet called "Christmas Cheer" from
Graphic45, which I cut up into blocks of 2-4
images (with a couple singles leftover)

This one looks far more stunning and elegant IRL.

This card is a "short skinny" one,
measuring 6-1/4 x 3-1/3, and
fits a small standard letter envelope.

All images, including this 3D stitcker, are popped up
using adhesives squares for a bit of dimension.

Top panel is popped up. 

The deer image was leftover from cards made several
years ago. Still have a bunch left.

Thursday Thirteen 442: Holiday Cards

I had a somewhat successful card-making day this past Sunday. While I got a couple dozen done, I am nowhere near finished for this year. For those featured below, I decided to use up as many leftover pieces and paper from previous years as possible. I still have stacks of images to get rid of! 

All layers feature decorative paper, with star brads. 

Glitter paper for bottom layer. Printed greeting. Stamped Holly.

Bear is a diecut, top strip is blue grosgrain ribbon,
bottom two are paper strips. Blue brads. 

It's difficult to see, but the white panel is embossed with snowflakes.

One for Hanukkah, for an extended 
family member. Cross-stitched image.
