When I make alternatives, I typically try to design two cards for each style of card in the kit. The Cozy Christmas kit made it really easy to design alternate cards. Below you’ll find this month’s designs…enjoy!

  1. Love your alternatives. I haven’t delved into mine yet. I like the idea of cutting the tree and ornament pieces in half for more cards. Thanks for the ideas and instructions.

  2. Thank you for showing alternates. Sometimes the intended project doesn’t feel “right”, you know? You always come up with genius ideas for cards. I love how you cut the tree and ornament in half. Never would have thought of that. It was the half-ornaments that caught my eye first.
