Hello everyone,
Back with another Christmas card and yes, it is too fat for the post, well, it will go through but unfortunately it will be too expensive, I've done my research..
This time I'm going with a tri fold using up scraps of
music papers, cards stock and papers and many die cuts all layered up....
I love to ink the edges and, I will say, when I remember, as I do not always.
the mats and papers here were die cut with a kinky edge die..
two little strips of lace, one shorted than the other but can make it work..
I die cut these candles, then added glossy white Nuvo Crystal drops,
love this one and always have extra bottles in my stash..
I heat embossed in gold this lovely sentiment..

added a 25 onto a scrap of music paper, pom pom trims,
lots of candle holders die cut and layered and inked..
and of course the bulk is the poinsettias
and silver charm snowflake.
So there you go, have plenty more in the works, so I'll see you tomorrow.
Thank you so much for stopping by..
Luv CHRISSYxx

Are you the Queen of fat cards Chrissy, I like to think so :)) This is gorgeous and of course would cost an arm and a leg to send by post, honestly its crazy what they charge, they don't even wear a mask, haha. I love your beautiful creations anyways. xx
Gorgeous card with all those lovely details!
So many beautiful elements packed into this lovely design Chrissy, I love seeing how you 'build' your projects. You are putting all those beautiful poinsettias you made to great use- all the projects I've seen with them are stunning. xx
A gorgeous holiday card!!

A gorgeous card Chrissy, I love those pretty poinsettia.
All my cards are too fat for postage but I can't help myself when it comes to pretty dies!

That is very pretty and you once again have made delish pie out of mud. Over here, I really am beginning to think our USPS wants all cardmakers and artmakers to pay package prices for what we mail, which of course will mean we can no longer mail art, which then loses them our business. Such wisdom has indeed sunk nations less mighty than ours but hold our proverbial beer lololol. XOX
It is such a shame how much it cost to send our pretty creations in the post. This is just gorgeous, I love the use of candles with it and the lovely flowers, pretty touch with the lace too. Like the pretty trifold inside with the great images and torn pieces, wonderful creation!
Wow, your card is absolutely stunning and anyone would be so thrilled to receive it too! Too bad it has gotten to be so expensive to mail out cards any more which is why mine are so simple and flat now! LOL Your designs are always so amazing my friend!
That is such a pretty card I'd be afraid to mail it in the post! Yes, it would be expensive to protect it with more packaging. That is why my cards have gotten flatter over the years...it's very expensive to mail them to North America (which is where most of mine go). As it is now they cost me about US$5.22 per card, and that's a light one, it can be more.
