Card Tutorial - Merry & Bright!

Merry Christmas to one and all! These cards are my Christmas 2009 design and I've now made about 30 of them. Those of you who make big batches of cards know how much work this can entail, but these were relatively quick I think it took about 5 hours to make all 30. This sounds like a lot of time - and it's true, it would've been a lot faster without cutting out the 3 trees on each card - but it was worth it as they were too cute not to use! All of the patterned papers come from My Minds Eye Wonderful Winter 12 x 12 glittered paper collection. You get 3 sheets of each pattern. I used about 1.5 sheets of each design to create all my cards. Such great value for money!

thanks for the ideas. where did you get the tiny 3d dots?

[whimsicalwendy]

@dragonfly4g I got them from my local craft shop. But I'm sure there's loads of places you can get them online. Just google "3d foam squares" =)

@Crazee108 It's just my accent. Will try harder to enunciate! Or say 'glue' lol!

can i ask where you got these papers from?? i've been looking for days and everywhere on the internet is sold out and i don't know if you can get them in the shops?? help.

[whimsicalwendy]

@hmf010890 I bought these papers in the UK from a chain shop called The Range...but it was last Christmas so I've no idea if they are still selling them! They might sell it at Hobbycraft or Dunelm Mill too? Sorry I can't be more specific, but do have a look in your local craft shop; there's bound to be something similar that would inspire you for your 2010 Xmas cards! =)
