Today I'm sharing the 9th edition to my monthly series "12 Months of Christmas". When I had the paper out for last week's Barn Pop Up Christmas Card, I spied this winter cabin paper and knew I wanted to make cards with them. There are three of each design in the 6 x 8" paper pad (which looks to be retired).
Trimming the panels down to fit the front of the 5 x 7" Kraft card bases, I started poking around in my holiday stamps to see what else I wanted to use.
The deer, cardinal (and bunny inside) are all from another retired stamp & die set and the sentiment is from Penny Black. The cabin, fence & fox on the envelopes are (retired) stamps from last year's Stampin' Up Christmas Mini Catalogue.
When the front panels were cut down to fit the card base, there was a 1" strip leftover. I added that to the left side of a white panel on the inside of each card. Then I stamped the sentiment, cardinal & bunny and my cards were finished.
I made these cards with specific friends in mind and I think they will enjoy them!
Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.
