Hello Maja Design fans and friends!  Nancy Hanttula here, back again to share some of my latest creations.  This week I am sharing some Christmas cards I created.  ALL of the paper used for these cards was from the gorgeous new Vintage Frost Basics paper collection.

Vintage Frost Basics

Everything about this paper collection is exquisite perfection, and I absolutely love how all of the Basics paper collections compliment each other and can be so easily mixed and matched.   AND after seeing all the beautiful Christmas cards created by our very own creative team here at Maja Design, I was so inspired that I set out on my own Christmas card creating extravaganza!

I don’t know about you, but as a paper crafter, it seems that my family and friends somewhat EXPECT a handmade Christmas card.    The best thing about the Vintage Frost Basics collection is the beautiful prints and patterns, colors, & designs.  The papers make it easy to create.

Papers used for this card included:  3rd of December, bs of 4th of December, & 10th of December.  Other supplies used here:  Tombow permanent adhesive, EK Success scalloped border punch, Prima bling, reindeer chipboard from Tattered Angels, tinsel ribbon, brad & bling flowers from my stash.  Card base shape and scroll design cut from my Cricut using Fontopia.
