Playing with Kendra’s card challenge #16 – part 1

Playing with Kendra’s card challenge #16 – part 1

Happy Friday stampers – I needed to use up a collection of Christmas pattern paper so I started Playing with Kendra’s card challenge #16 – part 1.

Today’s Project

To use up my some of Christmas pattern paper I went with an idea that would use 6 sheets to make 15 cards.

Using the cutting guides here are the first 2 cards. I used a simple sentiment for the first one and the second one uses the cute deer from the paper die cuts package.

For cards 3 and 4 I used some embossing folders to add a background.

To see how these cards were made, here is the video showing how I modified them.
