Last minute Christmas Cards with Large Sentiment Dies from Mama Elephant
This post shows how I make four Christmas Cards using Mama Elephants dies, Big Warm Fuzzy Hugs, Big Snow Much Love, Big Oh So Jolly, and Big Merry and Bright. The large sentiment die does most of the ‘work’ in creating a gorgeous card.
I show how I use a few different backgrounds for the four cards I create. For a couple of the cards, I use a background with coloured card strips which I show here.
