Season of Style Cards... a Closer Look

We have one last 'closer look' to take at my Christmas Retreat projects and that's my 4 Season of Style cards and coordinating envelopes, all of which fit into a cute little coordinating box.  The box was made with our new Envelope Punch Board.  It's basically a 3-D envelope and holds all 4 cards and their coordinating (lined) envelopes.  Let's get started.

You may have noticed on my Winter Frost cards that I used the same design template on each of them.  On today's cards, I not only used the same template but actually made doubles of two color stories.  All of this was planned intentionally, to save working time at the retreat.  We are making so many wonderful projects that I wanted to be sure we had time to finish all the cards.

Here again are all the projects:

My 'Joy' Banner... a Closer Look

Today, I want to share a closer look at one of my favorite projects for Christmas.  Yes, we'll be making this at my Christmas Retreat.  I used colors to coordinate with my Winter wreath, Winter Frost snowflake ornaments, and my Winter Frost Christmas frame.

Winter Frost Snowflakes... a Closer Look

Let it snow... anytime... if the flakes look like our Festive Flurry snowflakes.  I decided to make my snowflakes double-sided, so I'd never have to worry if they turned around while hanging from their beautiful silver ribbons.  I used shades of blue, soft gray and silver, with a tiny touch of bling.  I wanted them to coordinate with the Winter wreath and the 'Joy' banner I made previously.  I love how they turned out and plan to make a lot more of them.  We'll be making one at my Christmas Retreat.  Scroll down to see alternate dates beyond this weekend.

I took this shot to try to show how dimensional they are, but it's still a little difficult to see.  The silver ribbon is sandwiched between the 2 snowflakes that are attached back to back.

Up next for November AND December:
