Freshly Made Sketches #362

I am YET AGAIN bringing out these Echo Park papers to make some Christmas cards... I still have a whole pile of it, so you'll be seeing it often.  Today I paired up the current Freshly Made Sketch with the Eskimo Kisses stamp set from Sugar Pea Designs:

I added a red and a white snowflake to each of them, and used a sentiment from an older CTMH set.

Inspired By - Christmas card

This week's Inspired By inspiration photo has a nautical theme... so turning it into a Christmas card may be a bit of a stretch!  But I'm hoping you can see that I was inspired by the colours, and the piece of driftwood when I went to make my card...

Quick & easy - works for me.  Here's the photo:

Patterned papers & sticker are I Love Winter by Echo Park; Sea Glass & White cardstock & tag die are Close to my Heart; Twine from The Twinery; Alpine Stitched Snowflake dies are Poppy Stamps.

Freshly Made Sketch #325

I am feeling pretty smug, after getting SIX Christmas cards assembled today, using this week's Freshly Made Sketch!  And there's a seventh card sitting on my craft desk waiting to be assembled...  They're all just variations on the same theme, but I used up these American Crafts papers that I've had for a number of years, so it feels good to use up some old stuff, too:

 I added some silver snowflakes to the first two... and had fun with these little green staples!

Patterned papers are Christmas by American Crafts.  Stamps are Close To My Heart; Stitched Alpine Snowflake dies are Poppy Stamps; Hexagon and Square stitched dies are Dienamics by My Favorite Things.
