This Christmas card is a great way to use up some scraps. Using a hexagon die, I brought a batch of pre-cut hexagons to class for this simple card.. I got the idea from Kim Singdahlson's blog, September 8th post. Be sure to visit her HERE!
The Fall card was very easy to duplicate also. The leaves were inked on a Kaleidacolor pad, fussy cut and mounted on the card front with ds tape. Twine was wrapped around the panel before mounting to the card.
TIP: When wrapping twine or ribbon around a panel, start with a small piece of ds tape on the back to hold it in place while you tie it on the front. Most of the time, it will be looser on the front than you'd like. Just turn it over, snip the twine or ribbon and tape it down again with regular Scotch tape. Then adhere the panel to the card. Easy!

I'm glad you found some time in your craft room today! Hexagons on a Christmas card is a nice look, isn't it? Warm, like a comfy quilt!
Like Kim says, the first card is like a warm quilt. Love the leaves! Thanks for the tip on tying the twine.
