Even though I've been working on my Christmas cards all year long, I still came up a few short. And while I'm confessing, I still haven't gotten those last few sent out. But I did finish them today, so they will be going out in the mail tomorrow. Better late than never, right? I made 6 so hopefully I will have a head start on the cards for 2019. Two different designs, because while I planned to do them all in the style of the card with the gold ornaments, it took too much cutting due to the used condition of my cutting plates. I do really like both versions, though, so it's ok.
The second version features the open ornaments die cut directly into the card base. I then layered green glitter paper underneath and finished them off with black ribbons.
