Christmas rosette card 2

These were quick and simple to make. I used the same embossed white paper from before and the same Martha Stewart scalloped lace edge punch, then scored the paper and folded up the rosette. Again I punched tiny holes along the insuide edge and threaded through with a needle and thread before pulling up and gluing the short edges together. I had a packet of left over Christmas gift tags and I used these on the front. The back was just a plain 3 inch circle on which I will write the greeting.

Christmas Rosettes

Why make a card that will be thrown away once Christmas is over?

This year I have made more cards that can be used as Christmas tree decorations. They are a variation on a theme. I used a Martha Stewart lace edged punch and then scored the paper to suit the edge design. I used a tiny hole punch on the other edge of the paper and used a needle and thread to pull it up before gluing the short edges together. I've tied doing it without threading but I need 4 hands not 2 to get it neat! You need 2 strips to make each rosette. I used 1 1/2 inch strips. The centre piece is a 2 inch circle with a stick on jewel in the centre.

I made the second one with some small felt poinsettias I bought several years ago. Both have a glitter card backing with a ribbon loop sandwiched between.
