May Arts is getting into the Christmas Spirit with a Handmade Christmas Card Hop! I've got two cards to show you today, and both of them are clean and simple and easy for mailing.
I went a bit rustic with my first card, above. It features a length of 2.5" Cotton Blend with Vintage Inspired Print (468-25-15 Pinecones). I simply glued this to a stamped card base and tied it off with May Arts Burlap String in Natural and Dark Brown (SM10 and SM33).
My last card is a bright and fun greeting featuring a length of 1.5" Holiday Satin Cut-Out (459-31 Snowflakes). So shiny and pretty! Here I simply glued them onto a stamped card base as well and wrapped the card with 1/8" Black Silk Ribbon (SK10) tied in a bow.
As usual with May Arts Hops, not only is there amazing inspiration, but there is also a prize up for grabs! 2 prizes of 2 spools each (one each day) from the May Arts Christmas Section!
The line up from yesterday is as follows, with today's as well! Your next stop is Jennifer!

Beautiful cards! Those pinecones look amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! I love the pine cone card! I looked for it on the May Arts website, but they had no picture of it. I'm thinking you had to have colored it.
ReplyDeleteThese are just neat looking cards, very festive.
