Acetate & Sewing for Christmas!

I spent quite a while trying to figure out what I wanted to do for my Christmas cards this year, but when I saw theses beautiful acetate sheets: I knew I had to incorporate them in my cards somehow. Pretty, huh? :)

I also wanted to try to make the cards relatively easy to mass produce, because as we ALL know...I HATE MASS PRODUCTION!! Grrr...

So, it became: One piece of acetate per card, the card-stock base, a piece of card-stock to stamp on for UNDER the acetate, a small piece of DSP (which I did in a wide variety), and then I decided to sew on them, too. I did 3 main colors. There was a red (Riding Hood Red - which you'll see below), a light blue textured card stock, and a dark blue (Night of Navy). The pieces of c/s that are below the acetate varied between Kraft & white. And... the stamped sentiments varied between "Merry Christmas" & "Seasons Greetings". The inside sentiments varied more, but I'm too lazy to type it out. (Just bein' honest.) I also hand-tore each piece, to give it a distressed look, just to give it a little extra somethin'-somethin'. And THEN, added ribbon. Which varied between Very Vanilla & Whisper White, depending on the card. :)

And here is ONE of the three cards that I made, this one I sent to my dear, sweet friend, Lydia aka understandblue who was sweet enough to take a picture of it for me to post for you today. Thanks, sweetie-head-honey-bunches-of-wild-oats!! xoxo
