This group of cards features an old 12 x 12 paper pad from Michael's that is about 4 to 5 years old. It's one of those pads that I keep because I'm "going to use it someday", but it's never the right one, right now.
The card bases for these are larger, 6.5 x 5, and have been in my stash since about 2009. Yup, 10 years they've been carefully stored, stashed, and moved around from one shelf to another in my craft room. Can't blame Mimi for these because I remember buying them before I found out that "everybody" does A2 cards.
So, the plaid backgrounds are from the old plaid paper pack, and the " Love Peace Joy" is a cut-apart from the same pack. The "Happy Holidays " banner is from a die from Concord and 9th.
The poinsettias on the cards are from an old Spellbinders die, and the poinsettias on the side are new this year from Sizzix. The twigs are from Gina Marie Designs, and are a classic to me. The Sizzix flowers will eventually get onto cards, but now they make good photo props.
The center panel from this card is from a cut-apart from a newer paper pad called "Say Freeze" from Michael's. The gold snowflakes are from a Spellbinder's Small Die of the month club die for November 2019. This one is A2 sized. Yes, I really do like to mix in new with the old to give it better life.
Yes, it appears I'm still avoiding coloring. Oh well.
