Maya Road Design Team: Holiday Cards

Holiday Cards

Hi Roadies! It's Jocelyn here. Are you getting ready for the holidays? Around the holidays, I'm always needing extra cards for special people and to give with gifts. I'm sharing a few cards I've made to hopefully inspire you for your holiday cards.

For all three cards, other than basic supplies (adhesive, paint, ink), I exclusively used the Maya Road Holiday Treasures kit. It's such a fabulous kit, and a great value, too!

For the first card, I altered the Mini Chipboard Snowflakes with paint and glitter and then layered them over punched circles. To add to the rustic look, I stitched through the layers.

I repeated the circular elements on the card with the beautiful satin flower, wood token, and flair. I love the sweet flair!

For my next card, I used a mostly monochromatic color palette:

I stamped the "joy" sentiment from the Holiday Treasures kit in white, and distressed the edges of the star with white ink to create a chalkboard look. The bottle brush tree is one of my favorites! I added glitter to the edges. I'm not afraid to add bulky embellishments to a card--I tend to give those in person. :)

For my last card, I wanted to emphasize the beautiful burlap flower:

I used the exclusive Holiday Treasures cutting files for the green leaf and sentiment. I cut the sentiment in white and inked it with gold ink. I balanced the gold with a gold-painted Mixed Scallop Mini Pennant Banner.
