New Favorite Card Designs

While it may look like I'm nuts to be working on Christmas cards in the middle of Valentine's Day season, I'm working on next year's cards for a friend/client. As I've said before, she wants cards she can send in the mail with regular postage, ie. one stamp. I'm a little paper and ribbon and decorations-heavy with my cards, so this has been a challenge. My new snowflake paper cutter is my favorite thing ever!!! I seriously need one of these for every shape there is!!!! But this has been such a game changer and I've realized how much life I can add to my cards by punching these fancy little snowflakes on them!! I also saw on this video how to change up my cards in another way by cutting a corner off. You can't really see it, but on the last card on the bottom left, I trimmed the edge of it, adding yet another dimension to my cards. I love being creative, and I love challenges. This has been the best challenge yet. My friend/client also requested Scriptures for her cards, so it's been fun searching the Bible for perfect Christmas verses just for her. 

Below is my outfit of the day, complete with my new Valentine's Day nails!! I love the red accent nail- my mom's idea!! :0) To be honest, after awhile, I had to take off the necklace because between it and the heavy sweater, both were pulling on my neck. I preferred to be warm, haha!!! Oh, and while I'm supposed to be shopping my own closet, my mom went through her sweater collection, and gave me this beauty!! I love it!!! So, I technically get it out of my own dresser, it recently came from hers!! Haha!! <3
