Cards & Tags Thursday - PM edition

Hello! Welcome to an evening edition of Cards & Tags Thursday! Today I have a few mini cards to share with you, check them out....

I know what you are thinking.... Christmas cards? Not really though, they are just winter themed cards! I must confess that I was taught a Christmas layout/card class recently and we made these cards in the class. It is never too early to build up your stash. These little cards are also a great way to use up some of the scraps from other projects. It's all about maximizing your supplies. 

Take a closer look...
I used the negative from a punched out snowflake to create this little beauty. I popped it off a light turquoise cardstock. Love how this turned out, also a great way to put those negatives to use!

I took this photo at an angle so that you could see that the button is not threaded. I try to keep it simple when teaching classes and if you just tie the bow over  the button you almost cannot tell that it is not threaded. I told my class it was an "optical illision."

I may have a bit of an obsession with kraft cardstock, I like the rustic, natural look and feel it give my projects. I cannot get enough! 

I used Echo Park's This & That Christmas line for all of my mini cards.

Thanks a bunch for stopping by!
