Now I must admit it was a little tough getting in the mood to make a Christmas card a week into January! Turned out to be kind of fun though!! No pressure...I mean technically I had 11 months to get it finished, addressed and in the mail! LOL I didn't photograph the inside, but it says Merry Christmas in matching Garden Green ink!
I ran two sheets of Whisper White through the Northern Flurry EF (one at a time!) and punched the centers out of each snowflake from one sheet. I used pop dots to layer them on their corresponding flake. I jazzed things up by adding Silver Dazzling Details to the centers of each flake.
Let it snow! Let it snow!! Let it snow!!!
Details:
Stamps: Christmas Lodge
Paper: Garden Green, Whisper White and Silver Glimmer
Ink: Garden Green
Punches and Dies: 3/4" Circle punch, 1/2" Circle punch, Scallop Border punch and Northern Flurry EF
Extras: Silver Dazzling Deatils, Pop dots (Dimensionals) and Real Red 1/4" Grosgrain ribbon (retired)
Fa la la la la la la la laaaaaaaaa!!!

ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea to start making some Christmas cards now and every month. I like the popped up snowflake centers!
ReplyDeleteI had to really chuckle when I read your post! I have a bff that comes over 1 day a wk every other wk to craft. We make 4 Christmas cards each plus 4 "other" cards each. That way we have several cards by Christmas plus always a stash of get well, birthday etc! I love your card and plan of CASing it! TFS!
