Merry Christmas! I hope all of you have your jingle-bell jolly on and are having a wonderful Christmas! I'm up early today getting our breakfast ready (Fresh cinnamon rolls, yum!) and I have one last Christmas card to share with you before I move on to more everyday sorts of cards.
This one is another card that came about because I had some leftover parts already assembled. In this case, the main snowflake originally wanted to be on another card but then didn't work quite right so I set it aside for another day. I made use of a couple of Cuttlebug embossing folders too which satisfied my guilt at not using stuff I have on hand but absolutely had to have when I bought it. Gotta work on that!
So, here's the detail on this one. The card is a 5 x 10 piece of American Crafts textured folded in half and layered on a Stardreams Ivory square cut 5-1/4 inches. I used my Sizzix Medallion Circle Fleur de Lis embossing folder twice on the right-hand side rather than stamping anything in the background. A couple of shiny silver adhesive brads add some sparkle to the centers of each one. Next came a 4-3/4 x 2 piece of Not Quite Navy and a Cuttlebug Snowflake embossed piece of Very Vanilla followed by the ribbon around the middle. The snowflake is by InkaDinkaDoo from their Holiday Assortment (#60-30026). I stamped that on Not Quite Navy with Not Quite Navy ink and then used my circle cutter to cut it out. I cut a second circle, slightly larger from the same color blue as the card and then layered it on a Stardreams Ivory scalloped circle that I cut with my Quickutz Nesting Flowers die. These are all adhered together and then mounted up on dimensionals. Finally, I added the pretty sparkly gem in the middle, a few smaller gems around it and a little glitter pen on the snowflake tips where I didn't put gemstones.
