Last Minute Christmas Cards

Hello! Welcome back to my blog. We are really close to Christmas with only 2 days left. I want to share my last minute Christmas cards created and mailed.


This card was created upon a friend's request. The idea of this card is to highlight several Christmas greetings in different languages specifically Tagalog (Filipino), Italian and English. My friend who requested this card is Filipino, and she will give this card to an Italian couple.


The techniques I used on this card are: 
  1. Stamping with markers
  2. Selective heat embossing
  3. Masking
  4. Ink blending

When you are on a time crunch, one of the easiest method of creating multiple cards is using a patterned paper line and making use of the cut-apart sheet. I used an old Pebbles paper collection on the above cards. Usually the papers in a collection complement each other so it easy to mix and match. You can also use cardstock that matches a color on the patterned paper. You can go simple by just using the paper in the collection or you can go beyond that by adding embellishments, using cutting dies, using an embossing folder, etc. The sky is the limit.





I hope you like today's cards. I hope you have a Merry Christmas. Enjoy the season!
