Lori makes such amazing cards. The layering of this card is just beautiful! The sewn edges are such a lovely touch. Fussy cut holly makes it so festive!
"This collection is so bright and cheery and is perfect for any holiday projects. There’s a little bit of everything included so it’s makes for a very versatile Christmas collection. Need cute? There is an adorable Santa ready to take the stage or if you want to go more vintage which is what I’ve done on this card, there again, it’s perfect. I’ve added a fancy cut die to add to the Victorian feel and then fussy cut all the ivy leaves. I wanted to add another layer of detail so I applied liquid glass to all the berries. You can’t see it great but it gave a finish look to each of them. Now I challenge you to start making those one of a kind keepsakes cards to hand out to your family and friends this season." ~Lori
The inside of this card is so great!

Your Christmas collection is so sweet! I love the vintage illustrations and the traditional colours. What a smart idea to use the pad covers for cut outs. I try to upcycle the covers but this will make it a breeze.
The LO is gorgeous and I love the layers and details. So much to see. The card is precious and how lovely to see the inside done up as well. It's like opening a gift to find something nice inside.
Thanks for all the great inspiration! I am thinking Christmas now for sure. :)

Templates on the paper pad at the front and the back, I like that, you don't waste anything! Still a little early for Christmas, for me, but they are fantastic.
