Happy Christmas


Hi bloggers!  Here's another Christmas card done with nontraditional sort of colours!  I started by covering a piece of card with the Moonlit Sea Luna Paste and allowing it to dry well.  Next I embossed it with the Stylized Poinsettia embossing folder.  I cut the Bauble Background out of white card and attached it to another piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet on it.  I used Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on the exposed adhesive areas.  I used the Bauble Edger set to cut the two sides of the background.  I added mounting foam and attached them to the sides of the embossed card.  I cut the centre die from the Deco Snowflake Background in white and added a white backing to it.  I added it to the centre of the embossed background with foam.  I cut the word Happy out of some leftover Luna Paste card and attached it to the centre oval.  I stamped the word Christmas and cut it out with the tag die from the Happy die/stamp combo set.  I added it with foam below the centre.  Using vellum, I cut three flowers from the Classic Poinsettia die set.  I used some Stellar Ice on the vellum to give them some bling, then assembled them and added them around my sentiment.  I accented the flowers with white Evergreen Branches.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  x  8 1/2"  in size.  All for now. Sue x

How I'd love to see this for real. We all put our hearts and soul's into our card making and its such a pitty when the photos just dont show it to it's best. I seem to have made fewer 'traditional' cards over the years of doing a market, it's the pretty non- traditional cards that go before The Three kings etc type cards,but I just have the orders to work on this year and there's only your polar bear/penguins being used and mainly your adjustable borders and I can't wait to start and play when I take the cuties to the middle of nowhere to hide from bonfire night. Sending much love and sanitized hugs to all. STAY SAFE KEEP CARING and VIGILANT xxx ❤

Beautiful. I do love the Luna pastes. I am slowly making my Christmas cards and although I don't have the bauble side dies, I do have the Happy and the embossing folder so perhaps can do a variation of this card as I like it a lot.
Have a great weekend, everyone,
