Merry Acetate

A Christmas Card!
I am so excited for Christmas this year (probably because its the first year of celebrating with a child).  He will be 13 months when Santa comes and I can't wait.  I am not sure what to do about the christmas tree.  Do you just not put ornaments down low? Or do you just put the whole tree in a room they aren't allowed?  Any advice would be appreciated since I am all new at this.  He is already into everything.  I have had to clear out soooo much stuff its unbelievable.  Vases, plants, books, wine racks, magazine racks, dog food/water bowls.  I didn't really even think about all the stuff was in his reach until he got his walker.  Anyway, so here is my first Christmas card of the season.  What do you think?  It was sooo easy. 


Here is a a card I made using Hero Arts Acetate Cards w/ Envelopes.  What these are so great is because the acetate is already pre-cut and folded and it has the white cardstock cut to fit along with it.  It makes card making so much faster. 


Here is a better view of this being an acetate card.  Doesn't really show up well in a picture. 

The rest of the supplies used are Basic Greys Undressed Chipboard Letters which I colored red with Colorbox's Red Chalk ink.  The ribbon is from Stampin Up!, the polka dot piece is from Making Memories Mistletoe Collection it is their Masking Tape, the flower/button embellishment is also Making Memories its their Mistletoe Poinsettia Buttons (soooooo cute, I think I bought 3 packs of these)

  1. Thanks for showing how you made this cute card. I am just starting out and I don't really know how, but it looks fun.
    Congrats on having a little one. :) First Christmases are sooo fun. I am now a grandma and I still remember their first Christmas. I just put ornaments that didn't break on the lower part of the tree. The boys loved taking them off and putting them back on. They thought they were "decorating" the tree. Anyways...have a great Christmas and thanks again for sharing. :)
