Hello & Happy Thursday my favorite Crafty Peeps!
I hope your week has been a good one so far! If not,
Don't worry... the weekend is right around the corner for ya!
Today I've got a couple of Christmas cards to show you!
That's right... I'm sticking with my plan to make 1 holiday
card a week! Well... today it's gonna be 2 and you'll see why
in a second -- :)
I really LOVE how these cards turned out --
This 1st card is what I had planned to do from the get go -
-- Supplies Used --
(Christmas Tree Cluster SVG) is from the Silhouette store #163528
I used Canson Water Color Paper
Card stock - Stampin' Up, DCWV Shimmer Lite green, & Vellum
Stitched card mat die - My Favorite Things
Distress Inks - Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Evergreen Bough
"JOLLY" Word Die - Sizzix (Happy Holidays Set) 660977
Sentiment - Craftin' Desert Divas (Tis the Season)
Versa Mark Ink, WOW White Embossing Powder
Misti Tool, Heat Embossing Gun, Silhouette Machine, Big Shot
Round Blender tool
Nuvo Glitter Drops - Silver Moondust
Sheer Shimmer Spritz Spray - Frost
The 2nd card came about, because I didn't want to waste those
cool trees! So I thought I would re-create my 1st card
just adding the solid trees - and I gotta say I really like them both! :)
The (Jolly) word die was cut out 6 x's (3 for each card)
to make it stand out over the vellum.... With the
Sheer frost Spray, my cards really have a nice shimmery
shine in the background -
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have an AWESOME DAY!!!
Theresa
