40 Cards Made

My sis planned a "Stain Glass Cards" day.  Some how I thought it was stain glass but with Christmas cards.  I guess I was so focused on the fact that I needed Christmas cards.  

We started and made a birthday card:

Then I went rough and asked to make stain glass Christmas cards....  Here is the total of cards made.  My sis helped me in the doubles and made 11 of them.

Penguins and Reindeer:

These are the forest wishes:

 Simple tree writing:

 

Then made some Joy cards: (I made both)  Love the Mandarin orange colour. 

Sis made these:                                  I made these:

I made two bottom red ones, sis made top 3 red ones:

These were simple snow ones:

Another set made by sis:

And mine:

 Thought a few town scenes would be nice:

Ironically, this is the only Christmas stain glass one I made:

Of course I had to make one for my sweetie hubby:

Finally the last one I made.  I knew I wanted to make it purple.  Sis said the big snowflake would be nice with the white coming thru.  So I put purple on the back of the white card, went and punched out the snowflake on the purple for the front...... And realized, hey, wait.... Now I had a single purple snowflake in one hand, and a cut out of the outline of the snowflake on the purple.  That didn't work.  I sat there as sis worked on her computer, and I wondered.  Then I put the snowflake back into the purple cut out.... not exactly right as it blended too much.  Then I thought, wait, I could put a raised sticky so the snowflake would be higher, and sparkle the inside flake, and finally add a diamond.  Can't see that the snowflake is raised, but it looks lovely.  Haven't decided who to send it too.  Sis really liked it.... maybe I will send it to her!  ha ha ha 😄
