Christmas cards to date : 15
Here I am with another Beat the Christmas Rush instalment. I have to say I’m quite pleased with myself, 15 cards done and dusted already!
I saw this idea on Pinterest and thought it was a great way to make a bit of a dent in my scraps box; just cut fourteen 2” pieces of patterned paper, starting with 2”x½” increasing in size by ¼” each time up to 2”x4”. Wrap each piece around a pencil and glue to make a hollow tube then stick to the card in a triangular tree shape. You can leave it like that or decorate the tree with bits and bobs. I did spray the cards with green Mr Huey’s before I started, but only because I just got them. :o)
If you haven’t already found our Christmas challenge at Creative Craft World, pop over there now; you can join the challenge at any time.
Here’s my favourite entry from last month’s links – a gorgeous card by Phil.
