I can't believe that Christmas is only a week away.
That's soooo wrong.
I'm so not ready.
I have so much left to do!
Thankfully I did FINALLY finish the Christmas cards.
I started them, with the very best of intentions, in mid-November at a crop night with The Girls.
I got 15 or so simple, but cute and stash-friendly cards done.
Supplies: Card Bases: My Mind's Eye, PP: DCWV, Reindeer Chipboard: DCWV, Santa Sticker: Recollections,
Tree Buttons: Unknown, Sentiment: Stampabilities, Bling: Studio 12
Little did I know that I would wake up the next morning with the world's worst cold/flu/miserable-sinus-related-illness that would hang on for weeks.
But I did finally get the rest of our cards done by locking myself in my craft room for 3 days this week doing nothing but
Cutting,
glueing
flocking,
flocking,
and more flocking!
When those were dry, I flocked all of the red parts of the design and let them dry overnight.
The next morning I added wiggle eyes
(cuz a Santa Dog is just not a Santa Dog without wiggle eyes)
gave them all a good coating of sealant spray,
glued the sentiment to the inside,
(available as cut-able SVG files from Lettering Delights )
And they're ready to mail!
Headed off to the post office now
but I swear, next year, I'm starting our Christmas cards in June!!
Cute cards! I have not tried flocking but it looks fun.
ReplyDeleteThose are adorable! I bought some pink flock but haven't tried it out yet. What kind of glue did you use?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteBecky- normally I use Art Glitter's Designer Adhesive (artglitter.com) on flock & glitter applications but I ran out of it. Since Christmas is only a few days away I didn't have time to order more, so I just used Scotch Quik Dry adhesive this time. It seems to be holding up pretty well though!
I LOVE LOVE these .. such a great technique ..
