Twelve Days of Christmas Cards with Graphic 45

These cards were made by fussy cutting the images from the Graphic 45 Twelve Days of Christmas paper line.  I layered other papers, including Basic Grey and BoBunny, to create a more eclectic look.

The poinsettia dies are Tattered Poinsettias by Tim Holtz.  I love their rugged shape.

The challenge with this paper is letting it shine.  There is so much detail.

I love this French hen one!  Love the rustic feel of it.

I used number stickers from my stash that I've had for years.

I use a gold paint pen to edge my layers on cards often.

Cutting simple shapes from some of the images and layering them provides a great breakup of the graphics.

 

I cannot believe I cut out that pear!

I hope you're inspired to play if you have these papers.

This final card started it all, and was made by my dear friend Barbara.  So pretty!  Thanks Barbara, I adore your cards and miss you!

I'm adding my collection to Winter Wonderland for their Anything Goes HERE, to SSS for their Throwback challenge, Christmas/Holiday HERE, and to SSS for their Anything Goes challenge HERE.  Happy cardmaking!
