Cut Out Christmas card

Very intricate cut-out Christmas cardFrom Cheeky Magpie.com

This is one of those projects that is a true glimpse in to the depths of my creative insanity. I see something and then I ponder it until I resolve whatever design dilemmas it involves. (And I’ve had a lot of time to ponder.)Then I create.

Cards are always a bit of a struggle for me and Christmas cards are even harder. Why on Earth would I think this might be easy, I don’t know. I’ll have the boys make all the presents in the sled once they get past the initial humiliation of the card. I’ll probably have to lie to them about who I am sending it to or I won’t get any help. And I’ll only make five of them. I am notorious for making crazy, over-the-top cards and never sending them. I am a bad crafter.

Let me preface this project by noting my *ever so slight* interest in pop-up books. Nay, I confess that I bow to the designers of those dimensional pieces of art. If I had my druthers, I’d make them myself. For this is the paper world I live in…the fact that it fits nicely in an envelope is a bonus.
