Scraps of Life: Trio of Christmas Cards

Hello, everyone! It is my turn on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog again! You can head over there to see all the Ribbon Girls' inspiration!

I have a trio of Christmas cards to share today! I am still playing with the October Ribbon Club Assortment, because I like to use as much of an assortment as I can before I put the leftovers away!

All the cards are standard 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" but since I added ribbon I may need a more roomy envelope, or at least more postage on a standard envelope.

I am using the papers and stickers from the Photoplay Here Comes Santa card kit (from 2018). I am not usually one to use a card kit, but if I do, I always add my own twist. I like to add more dimension, and of course ribbon!

For the first card I created a focal sentiment then added some ribbon loops and sequins for "pizzazz"! I used 5/8" Forest Green Plaid, 3/8" Red Checkerboard Satin, and 5/8" Poinsettia Print on White Satin ribbons to make the loops.

I used more of the stickers and some stamps from my stash to add a message and some decoration to the inside of each card.

The second card has a nice, loopy bow made from the 3/8" Holiday Ornaments on White Satin. I also added dimension by popping the sentiment and berries with foam tape, and of course...more sequins!

I really love the papers in this collection, and I am not sure why I had not used them before this! I guess I just have so much paper that sometimes collections get lost in the shuffle! Especially holiday collections!

This last card is WAY out of my comfort zone! I added the ornament and star stickers to a white piece of cardstock! Yes, stickers!

I popped the sentiment with foam dots, and added a foam sticker to the bow! Sequins make everything all shimmery. The bow is made from the 3/8" Forest Green Checkerboard Satin, which is also sparkly when the light hits it.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hoe you are inspired to pull out some unused Christmas paper and make some cards for this year!
