My Christmas Cards

I decided maybe it was time to have a blog under my own name that I could add all sorts of stuff to, not just Quietfire things.

Here is my first post!

I'm usually so crazy busy in the fall, that I never seem to have time to relax and play and try something new. Just before Christmas I was in Michaels and spotted this punch set (Martha Stewart) and packages of K&Company paper frames. The paper frames were cardstock and printed on both sides which made for a perfect card! I wanted to use the Quietfire Textured Holiday Words, so I picked up some of the coordinating K&Company labels.


With a bit of punching (more on some depending on the designs and the colour of the inside!) and coordinating of the labels, these came out not too badly. I think I cranked out 114 of them. It turned out not to be the epic it sometimes is! I'm still thinking I might purchase my cards next year....

Here are some samples!










Thanks for looking!
Suzanne

    Hi Suzanne - I've added you to my favs - nice to greet a new blogger. Love your cards, I'd never of thought of using the punch in that way but it is very effective. I used your Silent Night stamp on lots of my Christmas cards (it's beautiful)thank you.

    Great cards Suzanne and congratulations on your new blog. I love the Martha Stewart punches but they are pretty expensive over here in the UK - still I do have some in my stash!!!
