Hi there,
are you getting tired of checking out my Christmas cards? I'm sorry but I'm in Christmas cards mood. And due to the fact that we need still a bunch of those I can't help but always grab a christmas related stamp when it comes to cardmaking **grin**.
This time I participate in the challenge from Stamps and Smiles/ Our Creative Corner. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE this sketch. I'm a fan of the clean-and-simple style (not always but mostly ;-) and so I put this card together in less than 20 minutes. The DP is so gorgeous that I wanted it to stand for itself - I put it on dimensionald to give it more depth. And the sentiment is embossed for a 3-D look.
For the accessories I used my Martha Stewart snowflake punch and ran it through my Xyron then give it a glitter bath and here we are ...
stamp: Christmas Poinsettias from Sweet and Sassy Stamps; ink: whisper white craft SU
paper: choc chip, ww, Christmas Cocoa DP; others: clear EP, dimensionals, soft suede ribbon, MS snowflake punch, Xyron, glitter
That was so easy and fast that I just used the rest of the cs and made a second card with the specialty paper from the same Christmas Cocoa line from SU. It is way too adorable, what do you think? ... I mean the paper!
stamp: Christmas Poinsettias from Sweet and Sassy stamps; ink: whisper white craft
paper: choc chip, ww, Christmas Cocoa DP SU; others: clear EP dimensionals, Playground buttons SU, threat, Sleigh Bell ribbon SU
I think you will see some more cards here with this layout. Like I said - it will be one of my favorites -hehe!
Thank you for visitng me today and thank you for all the wonderful comments you left on this blog. They are very much appreciated.
