So, I gave the fancy Christmas card a try

[wiseheart]

This is the result:



Not as perfect as the original, but not bad, considering I don't have all the ready-made parts and fancy tools - or the skills. *g*

It took me half the day, so I didn't do much else today. Talked to Eenie, watched some telly, wrote a little, and I'm now typing up stuff. But I'm not complaining. Wrestling the card into existence was quite the accomplishment for me.

Thanks. :) This one was really hard work, although supposed to be "very easy".

I'm really impressed!! it's beautiful and you definitely have some skills!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Fortunately, other people don't know what it was supposed to look like before my mind's eye. *g*

That is beautiful.

Also unexpectedly heavy, due to the many layers. Not something I can send off via post; but I can always hand it over presonally. ;)

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Oh yes - of course, I hadn't thought of that. I should have - I once made some so 'front heavy' that it was difficult to get them to stand up :)

It is a shame, really. I'd have liked to send it out to someone I don't have the chance to meet for real. But the weight would make it more expensive than a small package. Ah, well, one of my local friends will be happy to have it. I hope.

Very pretty. Did you cut the window out by hand? It’s perfect. I remember from the video that the YouTuber had some device that cut out her windows.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Yes. The most complicated tool I used was the motif punch for the leaves.

[wanderingmogwai.livejournal.com]

I like that. It's very cool.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

Beautiful card! Love the star, I have a thing for stars :o)

Each year, I buy new sets of these Christmas stickers - foam stars, embossed stuff, you name it and I have it. Which is why I decided I needed to start the mass production of cards: to free up some storage space for next year. *g*
