I have to find my samples but here is a sketch to
cut from a 6X6 piece of paper.

This looks fun! What a great way to use some of those paper pads OR quarter sheets of 12” papers.

So creative! I actually have my Christmas paper scraps right where I can reach them.

This sketch I got from a friend. It also can be cut and used differently.
I'm not fond of the 4X4 piece but I made it work.
Also, I didn't embellish very much.

These are all great, Jill. I really like the present with ribbon from the 4 x 4" paper!

What a great way to use a six inch square of Christmas paper! Your cards are lovely, Jill.

I was finally able to get this one done. I challenged myself with the houndstooth side of some old Simple Stories Christmas papers I had…it definitely ended up being quite a challenge! In the end, I’m pleased with the way they came out. As we get closer to the holidays, I’m so glad we’ve done this through the year.

For some reason, I wasn’t able to attach all four cards, so here are the other two.

I like them Beki

I like the dripping off of candles and snowflakes on squares

Thanks, Jill! The dripping candles were a happy accident. I knew I had a die with candles & wanted to use the flames, I cut just the top part of the candles & when I removed the paper from the die, intending to cut off & use the flame, it was the perfect size.

How did I forget about this?

Very pretty cards Beki. Love the herringbone!

Beki, I love the houndstooth - never would have thought to use that on a Christmas card!! But it works!

Thanks, Pam! Thanks, Kathy!

One side of that paper was cut-aparts (tags, etc.); I knew I would never use ALL, so I turned it over and that's what I found.

These pictures seem to have a yellow tint...

I find my photos taken in the evening have a yellow tint. I think it has something to do with the auto settings of an iPhone? Sometimes even the editing program doesn’t help.

Here are three I made and I have enough to make 3 more. Yes, I went a bit overboard but that’s me and probably surprises no one.
The center of the “package” is a little shaker thingy. I wasn’t in the mood to struggle with a bow.
