CARD#s HPJ-2016-30 to 50: Holiday Cards

Hi again! I wasn't supposed to take in more commissions aside from the tags, but a friend asked for a favor so I took some time to make twenty Christmas cards. I made them light and simple since they will be mailed abroad. I just hope the recipients like them. Here they are.

For the first set, I went vintage. I just adhered some diecuts and stickers to add dimension and interest to the cards. 

As for the second set, I made it really neat and simple. Half of it was splattered with ink while I let the other half alone. They turned out cute. I want them for myself! I think I'll make more cards with this style for other occasions. Gah. Wait till I get my hands on those Tim Holtz and Prima stencils! I'll go crazy stenciling away. Haha.

So, how did I make them? Easy peasy. I first stenciled using light molding paste. After drying, I splattered glimmer mist onto five of the cards. I then added the stamped images (I adhered some chipboard at the back of the cutouts for dimension.). I wrote the sentiments on pieces of black board paper using white pigment ink pen. And that was that! Done!

By the way, the cards are 4 1/4" x  5 1/2" (A2).

How do you find the cards? I hope you like them. Till next time! (I will post about six more cards before the year ends.) Thanks for looking today! Have a great week! Happy Holidays!!!

CARD# PR-2015-11 to 20: Holiday Cards

Hi! I forgot about the set of cards that I made for a colleague. I think I mentioned it in one of my earlier posts, but I totally forgot to make a separate post about it. Anyway, they were similar to what I did last year for my friends at my previous job. I was asked to make ten cards. Originally, they were supposed to be tent cards, but after making two of them, my friend told me to just make it the ordinary top fold card so he could write some message inside. Well, I told him I could still make it look like the tent cards, but I will not be cutting the windows and of course I will forgo the stand at the bottom of the card. He approved of it. Here is what I came up with.
