Christmas Pups on Upcycled Card

Hi friends!  Are you getting close to your Christmas card goal yet?  I believe I mentioned I've pared it down quite a bit.  Some have dropped off the list for unfortunate reasons, others just because we've lost touch in the natural course of life.  Today I have two more cards, putting me within sight of the finish line.

I've upcycled cards we received in the mail from Habitat for Humanity.  We donate, but I generally give the cards away.  These I thought were too cute and would make a fun background for the Cottage Cutz Christmas Puppies which I didn't get around to using last year.




I added glitter to the snowflakes and hat trim.  This 4 1/2" x 6" card even has a matching envelope.  I'm not sure why, but I received two of this card design with only one envelope.



I put the rest of the pups on the next A2 size card.



I think they're all just adorable!




Total Christmas cards in the box:  35


I have to thank Jo and her elf, Gail, at Christmas Kickstart for leading me to these not-yet-used puppies.

Speaking of not yet used, my puppies will be visiting Darnell's NBUS Challenge #92 as well.





I appreciate the challenges and all of you for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day!
