For my projects...
I created two Christmas cards from printables from Aimee Asher website.
I printed and cut the printable card that I purchased from Aimee Asher website.
Then I inked the edges of every pc. with a light brown ink.
Once dry, I adhered the printout onto a heavy darker cardstock.
I pop dotted the pieces to stand out more. Then I added brads to the wording.
I printed the inside of the card and adhered it to the inside of my
cut pc. of dark cardstock... then I cut around the edges to give it a layered look.
Here is the back side of the card.
This card also came with a matching evelope to print.
But I didn't make this particular one... but I did make another
matching envelope for the next card. See pic below.

Below....
I printed off and cut out the printable card. Inked the edges of every piece.
Then I pop dotted the pcs. to stand out more. I also adhered the printout
onto more heavy cardstock... the pale yellow and layered that onto the green.
I added pop dots and brads to the Peace on Earth wording strip, then added
some bling (stickles) to the star, and added flock to the sheep! For the inside
of the card, I heat embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder.
Below are pics of the front, inside, and back side of the card and also the envelope.
Now, hop on over to Roberta's blog to see her Fabulous Creation Today!
