Echo Park Seasons Greetings

Good morning,

 

I hope this post finds you all in good health. With Christmas just around the corner for many, I would like to share a couple of little projects I made for Paper Lane using the beautiful Echo Park ‘Seasons Greetings’ collection.

First of all, I made a mini Christmas card and a matching gift card wallet.   I love the cute shape of this mini card.   You can easily make a little set of these mini cards (but i dont have the energy so i have only made one!) lol

I have also made a scrapbook layout using the same collection which i will post next.

Anyway, here is my card and gift card wallet.

Silly Me !

Good afternoon everyone, i am so silly. I decided to play along with the Card Patterns Challenge #143 so made my card and forgot to upload it and now its too late! lol Oh well, never mind, will share it with you anyway. As you can probably tell, i am a fan of this folded Christmas tree design, it is so easy yet effective and as i still have a few Christmas cards to be getting on with, i might be using it again! This card was made with a male relative in mind hence the masculine colours! Thanks for looking :)

Hello everyone, hope you are all having fun. Just made another Christmas card and still not finished yet!
