The women's ministry at my church is having a Christmas Brunch in December and at the brunch we will be making 150 Christmas Cards to send out to three different groups of people...... the homebound, our soldiers overseas, and college students in the area.
So I have been charged with designing the cards. :)
I have come up with 3 designs for the 3 different groups we will be sending the cards to.
The card designs needed to be very, very simple because of time allowed to make them and also the varying crafting experience that the women will have in the group.
Simple...is very hard for me to do. I admire the very simple and elegant cards that I see some crafters doing...but it is such a challenge for me.
So here is my first try. I thought this card would be great to make and send to our Soldiers. Because even though they are far away from home.....they are always near God no matter where they are.
This card designed by Hollie Lisk using Stampin Up! products
The color combination is Bordering Blue, Pomegranate, and Natural
This is a normal size greeting card of 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
RECIPE

Tool: a crimper was used to make the folds in the pomegranate strip
Tech: simple!! I did sponge around the edges of the card and the focal image of Mary and Joseph
