Christmas Cards



We do shoe box projects at our local stamp club and Barb presented a very elegant card using two full sheets of cardstock to create a holiday shoe -- one color for the front and a second for the back of the shoe. Being large, it allowed ample room for embellishments at the top and around the ankle, and her version was stunning. I loved her project so much that I wanted to use her pattern to make smaller cards that would slide into a regular A2 envelope. This is my small version and there is still room to add embellishments. I kept mine rather simple and flat to save on postage.

The stamp I used for the background is Asian Tree by Inka stamps.

Very lovely. I think I'm only sending out 3 handmade Christmas cards. The rest get storebought post cards ;)
