Cards cards cards

I had mojo. I had a container full of Holiday stuff; patterned paper from the last few years, ribbon, chipboard, stickers, rub ons, stamps, you name it!! We don't usually do a whole lot at the holiday time to scrap, so if I don't make cards, I will have this container of holiday stuff FORever! 

So I had a bright idea!

 My Gramma in CA always gives money in cards for Christmas. She has for years. 

So I thought, "I'll MAKE the cards for HER to give away! She will love them!"

Texted the idea to my favorite Aunt in the world, Suzy, and she said "OH yea she will love it"

So these are a few I did. I also added about 4 or 5 that were given to me from the Troops for the Cards as a thank you for volunteering to the ones I made. I have to mail these today!!!

this one was a quickie for me cause i actually made the front a few years ago for the 25 days of Christmas which i never completed *blush*

So i took that card apart and put it on the front of a regular card, tore off the # tag,  added the sentiment and some stickles on the stars! CUTE!

I am sure I found one like this on Pinterest - its hard to see on the picture but the tree is cut. I liked the way it looked and i love the bold colors. 

This one I lifted from the Cards for Troops set. I liked how the blocks are supposed to look like a tree. its very simple! the star is foil from a piece of candy that i punched! LOOK i repurposed haha.

another one i lifted from online, not sure where. The tree and sentiment is a sticker i put on card stock and cut out. 

another one i KNOW i lifted off Pinterest. its VERY busy but i think its kinda elegant too. 

this one i made last year or the year before and never sent to anyone. its HEAVY so it is better to be "handed". So i thought Gramma would really appreciate the vintage look of it, esp with the yarn.

simple! my fav style! 

another one i lifted from on line. I used a more muted dark green on this one. and i love the button ornaments!

this one i didn't lift! crazy right? :)

i love punching a hole in the cards to add the ribbon, it makes the inside more fun i think. used lots of scraps and the stars and sentiment are chipboard!

sooo simple! but i hand cut those trees out of PP and layered them!

gimme scrapps and i will make squares! love squares! a sticker sentiment and a chipboard tree! add a ribbon (which i am not out of :( ) and tad a cute and busy!
