Final steps, holiday card making in masses tutorial!

Step 8 involves making sure everything is stuck down tight on the cards, and making sure they are clean and presentable.  No stray marks, no stray scraps, etc..  Step 9 involves adding final embellishment, gems, Stickles, etc..  Anything you want to add to your cards to give them extra sparkle or attention.  Step 10 involves deciding how you are presenting/packaging the cards.

I plan to send some in the mail individually, but also give "packages" as gifts.  To do this, I place 5 similar themed cards (but you could do different themes!) with envelopes inside a close fitting cello bag.  I bought these ages ago at CelloBags.com.  Not sure if they are still around?

I tape the bag shut on the backside, then tie some inexpensive raffia around the pack.  (Michael's)

That's it!  So fun, so easy, so quick (well kind of!  LOL)  Thanks for joining me on this tutorial journey, I hope to do another again in the future!

I'd love to see your cards, hear your ideas, etc., so please share!  :)
  (ps.  in photo above, I stickled the snowman's nose in orange, adding a red gem to the left, and stickled the holly berries in red on his hat)
