Hello my friends!
Only a few more days before Santa's arrival ... are you ready?
Well I must admit I'm 'getting closer' to being ready but still NOT QUITE THERE YET! LOL!
It's my turn today to share some inspiration using dies from the Dies R Us store over on our Dies R Us Inspiration Blog so I'm kind of 'multi-tasking' at this point in time by creating my inspiration piece for the design team as well as having more cards ready to send out.
I'm afraid some of my friends and family will be receiving their Christmas cards late this year but you know what they say ... "better late than never!" With that being said, I thought the quickest way to create these last minute (yet beautiful) cards would be by using a printed image and my die cuts.
What do you think?
I found this beautiful, scenic image over on Pinterest and made it the basis for my cards.
Here are the items used on this card:
Paper: Maja Designs Vintage Frost Basics
Accessories: Stickles 'diamond', sentiment & stamp from same paper pack
It's so difficult to capture the sparkle on our holiday creations so here's a little closer look at the sparkle on this card. I just LOVE this poinsettia die ... so quick & easy and looks beautiful every time! By simply 'conditioning' the back side of the petals with my stylus, the flower really POPS and will still lay flat for mailing purposes.
Here's a second card using the same image and paper but I've created a
totally different scene by utilizing a variety of holiday dies. Which
card is your favorite?
Here are the dies used on this card:
Cottage Cuts #CCE-049 'Winter Wonderland Deer' (Special Sale Offer not currently in the store.)
