Happy, Happy Christmas Cards

Today I wanted to share some cards I created with the Happy, Happy Christmas Bundle leftovers.   In case you don't know what the Happy, Happy Christmas Bundle is, it is Close To My Heart's November special.  You get a wonderful bundle of supplies to create a beautiful Christmas Album with 5 layouts and enough left to create additional projects.  To see all the details on this special, check out my earlier blog post HERE.


After I finished all the layouts and projects with the Happy, Happy Christmas Bundle, I still had several PML cards and a few My Crush Pages left.  So I decided to create a few Christmas Cards!   I love using Picture My Life cards to create cards because they are quick and easy!

Here are some of the cards I created.  I still have a few more to finish and when I do, I'll share those later.


This one was so simple!  This was a 4x6 PML card so I created a 5x7 card so that I would not have to trim off any of the buildings.  I layered it onto Slate Cardstock and added some sparkles.


For this card I used a leftover My Crush pages (upper and lower portions) and trimmed down the sentiment from a 3x4 PML card.  The pennants were scraps from My Crush pages.  I added Red Enamel Gems to finish the card.


I think this one is my favorite.  The Saffron color background and the green trees paper are both from My Crush pages.  Again, I trimmed out the sentiment "Joy to the World" from PML card and layered it onto another PML card that I cut down.  My accents are Fern Twine and Clear Sparkles.


This was a fun one.  I love the stockings!  This PML card is again layered on top of My Crush pages.  The "Merry Christmas" was trimmed from a PML card.  I added Red Enamel Gems.

Weren't these fun? Using Picture My Life cards is a great way to create a variety of cards!

Now, I want to share with a cute way to make a gift card holder!  I used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge to make this holder.  It was very simple!  The Cricut cuts the card and it folds so that you can slip a gift card inside! I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measurement to 2".               To re
