Christmas Card MOJO

I am trying to get into Christmas Card mode.
It's tough to think Christmas now, but last year I was scrambling to finish up my cards at the last minute,
and I swore to myself that this year I would get a head start.

Last year, at Thanksgiving, I gave away gift boxes of Christmas cards to my family. 
 I made bulk cards, 6 each of 12 different designs.

I was browsing my pics and came across these from last year,
and thought I would share some Christmas mojo with you.

Here is the box I made:


And here are the cards that were inside:






They all loved the cards
.
I asked them to return the box and I promised to refill it for them this year.
I have a few new cards made, but I still have a lot more to do.
I'll share them here when they are all done.

Thank you for visiting my blog,
Lorrinda

  3. Do you have directions for any of your cards? I'm curious about the one with the large Christmas Tree - how did you do the background? It's kind of a ghost image???? Lovely work!

  4. Thank you for your comments!

    Lisa, are you asking about the card with the large xmas tree over the oval? I masked the oval shape, sponged inside it in soft colors, then stamped the tree images in lighter green. Then I removed the mask, and stamped the big tree and sentiment in a darker color over top of the oval. Does that make sense? It looks complicated but is really easy.
