August Christmas cards: Gel print kit

I didn't think I was going to be able to make any Christmas cards this month. We are doing some work on our house, so my craft room is filled with boxes of random stuff, and I can barely get in the room. But as luck would have it, I entered a drawing on Instagram and won a Christmas card gel printing kit from Gelli Arts. Almost everything I needed was included in the kit -- even a gel plate, brayer, and some paint. I just needed my scissors/trimmer and adhesive. I sat down to create at the coffee table, and here are my finished cards:

The kit was designed to make two cards and ornaments (the white card bases in the top row). I love the idea of including an ornament right on the card! I added a few extra card bases and twine so I could make five cards total. And of course I had to add a few sequins on the tree ornaments. :) I'm still debating if I should add some sparkle to the star ornaments. Maybe I'll take them off the cards and add some spatter. What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by!

Oooh I love these cards/ornaments! What a great idea to add the stars as ornaments! Yes, add some white splatters on the stars! I think they would look good with some white splatters! I may have to borrow your idea oaf adding a str as on ornament! Mine will turn out different to yours. I also love the gelli print blue background, such a gorjuss blue! Oh, and congrats on winning that contest!! Yay! I've had some health issues and haven't done any crafting for awhile. I'm slowly getting back inn to it though. And it has been so icy cold here that my hands are frozen. Spring is coming though! Hipoe you and your cats are all ok! Sunshine.
