Merry Christmas from Our Family to Yours!

I needed several more cards for Christmas this past year, so I went hunting through my "TO DO" of partially finished cards in my stash to see if there were any easy to finished or that I could replicated fairly easily and quickly.  I found one I loved and away the finishing, paper measuring and cutting began.


This one is a beautiful Christmas card design by Daralee Peterson from a card class that I attended back in 2018, prior to hand surgeries, when my crafting time was very limited.  I LOVED the browns, greens, and copper tones together on her lovely card, so I kept my card very similar, but added a few more colors and layers just because I love layers and it also increases the size of the card, both of which just suits my style more.  I designed a simple inside to coordinate with the outside with my own Chatterbox verse and a scattering of copper punched snowflakes.  Take a peek at the finished card below:
