Alpaca Holiday Easy To Mail Christmas Cards with Franci

Hello there! Franci here with you today with a trio of festive cards that are easy to mail! First though, Happy Halloween! Hope you'll all have a too fun to spook night full of treats and candies!

Christmas is coming in less than 2 months and I noticed that I needed some more festive cards to wish all my friends around the world Happy Holidays. So I made these cute cards with the Alpaca Holiday set.

They are super easy and quick to make but the most important thing for me: they are light in weight and easy to mail! First, I cut out all the card bases out of white cardstock and I stamped, colored and die cut all the images using the coordinating dies.

I took a piece of cardstock - you can also use acetate - and I cut it down to match my card fronts. Then I die cut an oval window (with the Stitched Ovals dies) on the top-center and I used this, plus masking tape, as a stencil to ink all my card fronts with a bright orange ink.

I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Trimmings set on to every card with a grey ink and glued down all the elements. I also added some snow flakes (I die cut those with the mini free die you get with every order at the Sunny Studio Store) and some details with a white gel pen. Finally I cut out 6 thin stripes of pink pattern paper from the new Holiday Cheer 6x6 paper pack and I glued 2 of them on each card to create a pretty frame around my little scenes.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
