August Set of Christmas Cards

Here's my batch of Christmas cards for my August quota.  I used the cute new stocking punch, word window punch, and bird punch to create my card.  I made six of these using scraps of probably my favorite holiday designer series paper, the retired Holiday Treasures.  The early espresso card stock edges were sponged with espresso ink, and the top of the mantle, hearth, fire, and stockings are all popped up.  I really like how they turned out.  I ended up doing another seven, this time with scraps of another favorite holiday paper, the retired Ski Slope.  I'll share those with you tomorrow.



I'm already above the number of cards I had hoped to make for 2011, so it will be nice to have some extras for a change!
