An Old Fashioned Christmas – by Holly McMillen

Holly’s Christmas card today is a real delight for those who love vintage Christmas images. She used the gorgeous vintage papers in Graphic 45’s Christmas Magic collection. A bit of cutting and adhering with the addition of a sentiment and floral cluster is all it took! Loving this so much! Take a look:

What a darling image – Graphic 45 never disappoints!

Creating cards like this is so fun and easy.

It’s pretty much just playing with some pretty things and putting them together.

Can you see the Snow Tex Holly added to the fur on the clothing?

If you look very closely you’ll be able to see that Holly cut the girl from a second sheet of paper and popped her up here for some added dimension, making her really come to life!

It may show better on the photo below.

I’ve got a passion lately for banners extending beyond the card edge, as Holly has done here.

If you cut your card just a bit narrower, you can extend something beyond the edge and still have it fit into a standard envelope – FUN!

Holly used our Merry Christmas stamp set and our Fishtail Sentiment Banners for the sentiment.

You can find Holly’s post on her blog here.
