Good Morning
Such a busy time of year for me.
My 5 little daycare kiddos have been creating like mad, lots of surprises for their parents. They are so excited about the 'giving' that it makes my heart happy.
Needless to say, not a lot of time left for card making but I did manage a quick one.
So here's what I did to create my card.
- I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock. Using some Weathered Wood Distress Oxide ink, I randomly stamped the snowflakes from the Penny Black set called All is Bright in my Misti, all over my card panel.
- When I was happy with the stamping, I got out the Merry Christmas die from SSS to die cut. This die is a 2 part die; the wording and the shadow backing. Using the shadow backing piece, I positioned it over the panel and die-cut it out in my Cuttlebug.
- I took script part of the die and cut it out onto a piece of shiny silver paper and then glued it onto the first die cut piece.
- I repositioned the die cut piece over the front panel, matching it up with the background, then pop dotted it back into place.
- I added some silver sequins and glued it onto some more silver paper and then onto a heavy white card base.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

ReplyDeleteThis two part die is fabulous Karen and it works well with the shadow die cut from the background patterned layer you made using the PB stamp and then the top word layer cut from silver card and then matted on to more of the pretty silver. You matched it back up brilliantly and this has made a really beautiful and elegant card. x
