Layered Holiday Cards

I have been feeling really under the weather with migraines for the last couple of days, but I wanted to try to make a couple of Christmas cards to give to seniors living at the assisted living center where my grandmother-in-law lives.

Without taxing my weary head to much, I thought the best way to do that would be to try my hand at a couple more of those 3D layered cards so I pulled out another card kit from my friend Jane Nielsen. It took a lot of detailed fussy cutting for each layer, and lots of double sided foam adhesive, but I think the images were so adorable that the cards turned out super cute.

I got to use up more scraps from my scrap box (YAY!) to frame the layered images and create the card base. Other than that, the only other additions are the “xoxo” and “love” die cut words that I cut out of red card stock using the Diemond Dies Word Die Set #1. This is a fabulous, really versatile die set that I have used countless times.

These two Christmas cards are being entered into the following challenges:
Through the Craft Room Door Anything Goes Challenge
613 Avenue Create Anything Goes Challenge
Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Anything Goes Challenge
Card Mania Color Combo Challenge

Thanks so much Amy! These were fun to craft when I wasn’t feeling well and just wanted to do some zen fussy cutting. 🙂

Thank you so much Tammy! Yes, my migraines can be quite debilitating, but if they aren’t too bad I like to do something that is less mentally taxing like just fussy cutting. 🙂 lol tf stopping by and taking the time to leave a sweet comment! Hugs, Kristina
