Christmas Cards Meet the Cowgirls

This week at Cowgirl Up, the challenge is to make Christmas cards for soldiers. I combined that with this month's Christmas Cards All Year Round challenge which is to make non standard sized cards (I chose 4x4) and include crystals, pearls, gold or silver on each one. If you make five cards during the month, you get entered into the monthly prize drawing. So, I made five!
These three using StretchNBubbles' new Christmas Block images:

I hope you can see my pink crystals, pearls and red crystals on each of these. I had to remember not to use glitter since these are going to soldiers. I REALLY wanted to glitter Rudolph's nose!
These next ones I made with the Santa Baby image from the Digi Shack:

This one was made with the colors from this week's Colour Create Challenge which was to use red and gold and either white or cream. This is the "goldest" paper I could find.
This one was made with the Santa Baby image and the colors from the Pixie Dust Challenge which was to use black and white and one other color:

All of these cards are going in the mail today. Please play along at Cowgirl Up and send some cards to soldiers today!

  9. These cards are just amazing. It is hard to create cards without glitter, isn't it? 4x4 cards usually require extra postage but service men/women can send free of charge..so they will have these darling cards to send. Thanks for joining us at cowgirl sunday challenge. Your efforts are much appreciated. Hugs, Barbara
