Hello everyone !
I hop you had a great Thanksgiving and you now are ready for Christmas ! That's right ! We are only 30 days away from Christmas, and that means I will start to show all the 30 cards I made this year...
If you are new to this blog, know that it's been several years now that I run a little giveaway during this month, where I show a card each day and you show me some love by commenting on them. And on Christmas day I will pick a winner for my giveaway ! Basically, the more comments you made, the more chance you have to win...
Every year is slightly different, so for 2018 I decided to use only ONE paper pad to create these 30 cards (no blank card!) ! The only tools I used were scissors of all kinds and dies, all already in my stash. I think everybody will agree that we prefer to keep our money for gifts than for cards... So I even go deeper in saving by using a paper pad I bought for $5 ! It's not a cheap one, good acid free cardstock with treatments and all... It's one of the Recollections Christmas paper pad you can find on super sale like always. This one is called North Pole Gazette. I even had enough papers to create more than 30 cards (maybe I will show more than one on some days...).
Well, let's start with the card, and I will show you what you could win on Christmas day after...
This first card is super simple, in unusual colors for Christmas but elegant. The paper is full of patterned papers, no plain color, and it's not always easy to create with this amount of patterns ! But you will see that I managed to mix them without difficult (or maybe just a little sometimes..).
The base is a sheet cut into a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" rectangle, folded in half. Two smaller rectangles, and two elements cut from another sheet, plus the deer square (was a countdown square, but I mask the number with the tag). I adhere everything with adhesive sheet. By the way, did you know that a 6x6 double sided adhesive sheet package of 5 is today's freebie at scrapbook.com, as well as a pack of 3 clear stackable daubers. Use the coupon code
