Happy Black Friday! Diane from
My Time to Craft here as your guest designer. The holiday season is upon us I'm sure plenty of you were out and about early this morning working on that holiday list, but don't forget about the holiday cards. Today I've created a simple sketch for use help get those cards under way.
As with most sketches, you can make this as simple or complex as you like. I find I usually start out very ornate, but by the time I get to the end, my cards are really simple (I just can't seem to assembly line craft).
This time of year, my Martha Stewart punches are often the tool of choice. If it's not the branch punch, then it's usually the holly.
In this first one, I used the holly to make a circular area behind a corrugated star that I inked with gold and wrapped in Holiday Divine Twine.
For the second, the holly created a traditional wreath. I love the crinkly Wassau paper used as the square in the first picture and the lace here.
I would love to see what your holiday cards are looking like. As with all PCWC challenges, follow the sketch or don't, it doesn't matter. Just have fun!
Awesome! Thanks so much for taking over this weekend!!
