German and Austrian Christmas customs have spread throughout the world wherever Christmas (Weihnachten) is celebrated. From the Christmas tree (Tannenbaum) to "Silent Night" ("Stille Nacht") and on to the Advent calendar (Adventskalender), people around the globe have adopted many traditions that began in the German-speaking world.
Hi and welcome to my blog, I'm designer today over at Card A Day Blog and the week's theme is Christmas Around the World. With doing my own genealogy, I found that on my Dad's side I am quite german, and I have a cousin that lives in Germany and want to send him a card around that theme.
So I made some cards that showcase just the Christmas Tree:
This is a sweet card to do many of like production style if you want to send out the same card
The silver glitter cardstock came from Walmart-Colorblock Pearlescence pad
Put together it gives a regal look
I popped it up on the front of the card
The inside is ready with a cute Christmas tree border and room for a personalized Christmas message.
Used paper and cardstock from various paper packs and the border was from a piece of card stock I got at Michaels. The corner and the border edge punched from fiscars punches
Thanks for stopping by today and seeing my view for my little corner of the world and stop back soon to see other projects I have been working on....
Lovely!!
ReplyDeleteThe tree is beautiful. Would you mind telling me what cartridge it was cut from. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Crystal it's from the Christmas/Noel cartridge is what it says on the card-an old solutions cartridge. Thank you, it does make a nice card and easy one too. The pearesence cardstock is nice to work with for the swirly cuts
DeleteThank you got responding. I love the pearlescent paper by colorbok. And the price is great. It cuts like a dream on the Cricut, much better than hobby lobby's brand paper studio & I think even better than bazzill. I've stocked up on it for Christmas cards!
DeleteGoing in search of that cartridge with the lovely tree. Maybe I'll get lucky on eBay!

Hi Crystal, did you by chance ever get a gypsy, in the first few years it was one of the free cartridges that you got with it. Good luck in your search it is a good one for Christmas designs
DeleteTina these cards are beautiful!!
