Tracey McNeely gave me just the kick in the pants I needed to get busy making Christmas cards today! How can you beat a Red & White color combo for Christmas??
Sit back and relax I have four cards for you today!
First: a CAS pair of cards that took only moments to make a twofer!
This is that lovely Spellbinders Stylish Merry Christmas die from a few years ago -
still stylish in my humble opinion! A bright and crisp POPPY paper from C&9th
really make these pop!
Using a little care when making the first cut, one is able to add debossing [Waffle Flower Dashed Snowflakes] or embossing [Spellbinders Ski Lodge] to the negative panel before replacing the Merry Christmas!
I 'spruced' them up with one of SSS Pretty Bows and an itty-bitty EH tree from my snippets!
I picked a few sets from Spellbinders for the other two made today: Simon Hurley's Playful Penguins and Santa - always makes me smile! I made sure I kept all the cardstock, besides red and white, within their rules this time! Aren't you proud of me?? lol
Your little eye might spy that new Finishing Touches stitching from C&9th and
Kristina Werner in the background.
I know I'm going to be using this PTI Skinny Ric Rac a LOT this Christmas!
Last but not least.... heeeeeeeeeeere's Santa!!
Crank these dies back and forth a few extra times in your machine to get all
his wonderful details - like those whiskers and eyebrows!
I still had a few holiday sentiments from 2024 in my stash - always welcomed
for a quick finish!
You'll have to run by Color Hues #113 to see which one made the cut... hey, while you're there, why not play along?
