Make it Monday: Holly Jolly

This week's Make it Monday taught us how to use The Essential Glue Pad to apply glitter, perfect pearls or flocking to our cards.  You can see that video here.  I was so happy when I saw this week's topic, because I had bought an Essential Glue pad months ago, and it was sitting in my drawer, because I wasn't sure how to use it.  Now, I know, and it's really not that difficult, if you don't mind getting covered in glitter.

I made two cards with this technique.  Here is my first card:

Cards that Care: Part One

Last week, I stumbled across a blog hop for an great cause--collecting holiday cards for the elderly in nursing homes.  You can find out more about this card drive here.  I decided that this would be a fun challenge for me, as I have several Christmas and holiday stamp sets, but don't have a great personal need for a lot of holiday cards, since we do photo cards.  I could have the fun of making Christmas cards, knowing that they would be put to good use.

I have set a goal for myself to make at least 4 simple cards from all of my holiday sets, and to have each card be at least slightly different.  Here are the first two batches of cards.  

This set is made using Holiday Lights:

 

This set was inspired by this card, and it uses Peace be Still:

 

I hope to have another couple of sets in a few days.
