Merry Christmas & Vintage Distressed Holiday Card

Sunday, December 26th, 2010

I apologize for Feedburner ‘kicking out’ two old posts from October yesterday–that’s not the first time, I know.

I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas and as a gift to my loyal followers, I am sharing a step-by-step PDF on how to make this lovely vintage distressed Christmas card (click on the graphic below to download the directions sheet).

I’ve had a LOT of fun with the new Distressing Kit that we carry! And it lent itself well to the awesome ‘Christmas Collage’ background stamp (#121279).

And you can’t tell from looking at the card, but after coloring and distressing, I spritzed it with the shimmer mist we now sell.

I have attached the step-by-step instructions PDF on how I did this card and it includes all the supplies that were used as well.

I’ve always loved the double pocket card and have found that designer series paper folds up awesomely!

I have shared a photo step-by-step tutorial of how I made it and also some photos of other double pocket cards that I have made with the ‘Deck the Halls’ designer series paper.  Click on the icon above to download.
