Vintage Pop-Up Christmas Cards, Day One

Good morning friends

When I first got my Pop 'n Cut Dies by Karen Burniston several years ago, I went to town cutting card fronts and inserts. This year I managed to finish off quite a few of the ones I had cut and put in the "Christmas Cards In Progress" bin. I had cut cards from all the remaining 12 x 12 sheets in a package by My Minds Eye, and will share here them this week.

Getting these cards finished and ready to send out was VERY SATISFYING, considering they have been in that bin for so long.

Here is the front view of the first two cards:


For the insides, I used the included Pop 'n Cut Circle Label Insert and one of Karen Burniston's newer dies - the sleigh from the Sleigh Pop-Up set.



 I really REALLY like this sleigh ... and here it is done in kraft and red glitter, which coordinates with all the red glitter on the patterned paper.


I'll be back tomorrow with a trio of Vintage Pop-Up Christmas cards.
