Simple Christmas Cards

I recently had a Christmas cards class at the store, where customers could make 12 cards, three each of four different designs.  The designs were fairly simple, nothing that would be too bulky to mail or take too much time to mass-produce.  I had a really good response, and ended up having to hold a third class to accomodate more people that couldn't come the first two sessions, so I was very happy!  Here are the cards...

 

I'm running late this morning, so later today I'll show you what these cards looked like after the classes were over and I kicked them all up a notch!

Have a great day, and thank you for visiting my blog today!

Fab cards. I love the way you have then taken them to the next level by adding a few extra finishing touches. That's the bit I find most difficult so please consider doing more 'before' and 'after' cards.
