More Mistletoe

I saw in one of the old idea books a card made with the three elements pattern.

I thought this idea was intriguing so, having a lot of mistletoe, I decided to experiment with some different ideas. I changed the dimensions to 4x4 form the 6x6 so it would be easier to mail and I also wanted to use smaller "elements". After the first two, I came upon the stamp set I bought, Just for the Holidays, and the third design came to me. So I made 18 of these to give as a Chrsitmas gift. It also uses the stamp set holiday commentary.

I liked how it came out and I plan on using this pattern for some birthday and all purpose cards.

Haley, if you read this, tell me again how to post from here to the art boards.

Thanks for looking.

Another Christmas card

Oh my! I have so much Mistletoe left over..so I am making more Christmas cards. I already have more cards than I have friends who are "card worthy". In scrapbookers lingo this is a person who is worthy of my lovingly made cards. Others get a boxed Hallmark from ones I buy after Christmas at mark down.

I love the wishing star stamp, which has been around for years, but I am just now discovering.

So today I made 18 of these cards and cleaned out the attic. So that would explain why today I am distressed around the edges.
