Cards From Christmas Past 2014

Happy New Year, well we are into 2015 and it's already January 2nd, I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas with a relaxing Holiday,  I have had some time off and have had a few sleep ins which has been lovely.
Here are some cards and gifts I made for Christmas I loved the simplicity but effectiveness of the star cards. the first picture shows the cards I made for my Husband, Daughters Son in Laws and my two gorgeous Grand children. I also make a new tag each year for the Christmas stockings for my Daughters but don't have a photo of that as yet.

I saw a birthday card using the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set and Under The Tree Designer Paper made by Cindee Wilkinson and changed it to a Christmas card for my Husband. My Daughter's shaker cards were cased from Cindy Beach but I changed them slightly using the Snow flurry Embossing Folder and silver ribbon.  My Son In laws cards were cased from Frenchie Stamps I changed the sentiment to a Christmas one and my Grand children's Snowman Shaker card is based on one made by Debbie Henderson but changed them up a bit as well, some of these were class projects as well.
