These are my 10 Christmas cards for the month of June. Each month, the CCC (Christmas Card Challenge) is to make 10 cards or other Christmas paper project. I will be thankful I did this come next December! My goal is to design simple cards that can be mailed easily.
The wisemen tag is computer genterated. All inks, markers and papers are SU: So Saffron and Cranberry Crisp. The background is cuttlebugged with the A2 diamond folder. SU cranberry Crisp stitched ribbon was added to make the card look like a present. The sentiment is from the Spirity of Christmas Clearly Defined Set from Printworks.
Thanx for looking!

This is beautiful, and way to go!!!! I'm always trying to get ahead with my cards, but I'm always behind with Christmas! Maybe I should do the Christmas card challenge!!

I really like this card the way it is designed to look like a present. Very well done. Love the colors too.
Nice! I might have to try this one!
I did learn a little tidbit for mailing cards with embellishments...from a magazine - you cut up a bubble wrap envelope into pieces to fit over the embellishments, put it inside the envelope with your card..and mail it. Because you are using the manilla bubble wrap envelope that you cut up - it doesn't add any weight to the card so you don't need extra postage. It looks like just a thick card!
