Stars & Snowflakes...

Hello & Happy Friday Everyone!

YAY, it's the weekend and I get to start

putting up my Christmas stuff! My hubby

thinks I'm nuts (as he always does) but it

doesn't bother me to get a Jump Start on things!

I reminded him that I spent the entire year making 

Christmas cards and now look -- They are ALL

done and ready to be mailed off - Whose Crazy Now???

Hahahaha - Okay maybe I still am a little bit but 

in a GOOD kind of way! Am I right?

As you guys know I went to a Holiday card making class

back in early October - and I'm sharing the cards

the Hostess made for everyone to make and then

my version of it, since I like to change things up -

Here's another card --

This is a side flip open card and it's lovely

in white, silver, & blue - even the embossing is pretty

But I didn't like the cardstock - We all have our 

favorites - am I right? So, after looking at this

card, I decided to go a different direction with mine --

YUP! No Side fold for me!! I went a totally different route on this card -

You can see I used some of the elements of the card kit on my card

I started by choosing a light blue card base top fold design -

Then instead of using the silver glitter strip, I went with

White & Silver snowflake washi tape

I kept the scallop border because I really liked it - and then

I die cut a Stitched circle out of white cardstock and layered

the DP circle on top of that - I also used a different

Embossing folder on my card --

 I wanted to add a little more silver so 

I used a Word die and cut that

out in some Silver Cardstock (3x's) and then layered them

on top of each other, to make it stand out - then just added a

couple of clear adhesive gems to complete my card -

The inside of my card has another scallop border along

with a sentiment to tie the whole card together -

I really like how my card turned out - it's really pretty in person!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a FABULOUS Weekend!!
