Christmas Cards

My husband and I were at a thrift store a few months before Christmas and they had card sets with Stampin' Up paper, envelopes, and stickers in them for 50 cents. I bought two of them. They also had Stampin' Up rub-ons that are about time for the same price, which I bought one of. There was a lady behind me that got the remaining sets (or at least most of them). I probably should have picked up a few more of the cards sets, but I think I then would have been overwhelmed. Here are the cards I made. I also used ribbon from my stash and some stamps. Some of the cards I used Stampin' Up stamping wheels on them. The sticker set came with a bird sticker, a sticker with a house on it that says "Tis the Season" and the oval one has trees on it and says "To You and Yours." I liked the way these turned out. I used the Versamark stamping pad for the wheels to make it a subtle background. The sticker set came with red and green cards, cream, red and green cardstock rectangles to put on the cards, and green and blue grosgrain ribbon. There was also blue gingham ribbon included. The border stickers around the patterned paper on the cards also came in the package. The card on the right in the first picture has a stamp that says "Wishing you sparkle, wishing you cheer, for a bright Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year" that is also Stampin' Up. I do love the ornament stamp on that card also. Our Christmas card list is longer than the cards I was able to make with these kits, so some people got homemade cards and some people got foil cards we bought at Target last year.
