I received all of my cards this week!

From @jeanneleigh

It’s a pop-up!

From @AudiobookLover

The gingerbread man opens up to reveal the message!

She also included some coordinating tags that I’m probably going to Grinchly hoard.

From @AIMR

You can’t really tell from the photo, but there’s an inside page bound into the card! (Linda, I’ll try to get a better photo tomorrow. It was already dark out by the time I checked the mail, but I wanted to get this posted.)

She also sent some painty papers that I didn’t get a photo of because it was dinnertime and I was hungry/impatient.

Thanks so much to all my partners! I need to get the tree up and display these.

I’m so bummed that the paint pen transferred/smudged! :confounded:Learning for me to put a liner paper in there, I guess.

Thank you for saying that. I…really wasn’t sure how they were going to turn out, and for quite a while, so I’m glad/relieved that what I tried to do is landing well.

@jeanneleigh no worries about the transfer! My eyes always go to the pop up bit anyway.

I have received the rest of my cards! Thank you, @jeanneleigh, @LovelyMiss, @Lynx, @geekgirl, and @AIMR!

Look at this super cute dino card from @jeanneleigh! It’s so fun and creative. I love the pop up nature and a Christmas dino - that just makes me smile!

@LovelyMiss sent this card in an envelope that had my name written in fancy script, it had me smiling before I even opened the card! I like the use of the non-traditional colors for the ‘jingle bells,’ it really pops against the background. Speaking of the background, the white is layered on a holographic silver making all the stars extra shiny. LovelyMiss also sent a few extras as shown in the next picture. The little post it notes are so cute!


@Lynx sent this brightly colored snowman card! The background is really neat and the bits of metallic give it an extra bit of luster. At first I was thinking it was done with alcohol inks, but I’m not entirely sure if they act like that on paper. Whatever technique was used, I like how it turned out!

@geekgirl sent this fun cat Christmas card. I like how the background coordinates with the cat. The kraft paper border of the card itself, really frames the design nicely!

This neat watercolor card was sent by @AIMR ! I like the technique she used. The red watercolor both makes the white ornament pop, while also causing the watercolor piece to really pop against the brown kraft paper. I also love the addition of the baker’s twine!

Thank you all so much for sending all this Christmas cheer my way!
