Almost time . . .

Hello friends and Happy Friday!

I still can not believe it's only a few days until Christmas!
I just don't where the time is going, I just know it's moving way too fast for me!

I have a couple holiday cards to share that I realized I had created
and photographed but had forgotten to share them with you all.
I actually found them in my NOVEMBER folder ... told you time is zinging right past me!  LOL


Several months ago I decided to put together a few 3D images 
that I've had in my possession for several years that I 
purchased locally at a craft shoppe that was going out of business.

They are dated circa 2010 and when I try to pull up the
websites, they are no longer available. 
But I'm sure you now the type of 3D sheets I'm referring to where
the pop outs are numbered and you stack them to create an image
like the one on this card.

for the background.
Lawn Fawn - Snowfall Backdrop: Landscape Die

I also finished the inside of this card with a verse
printed out from my files and die cut using
Tutti Designs oval layering dies.


Here is the 2nd card I had to share using yet another 3D image
from those same sheets.


Other dies used on this card are:
Sue Wilson Designs - Festive Collection - Frosty Snowflake Border
Memory Box - Dies - Open Studio - Wintry Snowflakes
 Hunkydory - Moonstone Dies - A Holly Jolly Christmas
Tutti Designs - Cross Stitch Nesting Squares


A few snowflakes created using Nuvo White Crystal Drops
were added to the top of the card base.

Challenges to share in:
2 Crafty Critter Crazies Challenge - ATG w/Critter (Teddy Bear)

I hope you've enjoyed my cards today and find
inspiration in my designs.

Have a wonderful weekend ahead!
As always . . .

  5. Oh, Darlene! You have outdone yourself in the elegant-sweetness category! I love these! Your teddy bear is heartwarming and gorgeous. I especially like how you used the Lawn Fawn snow die on your pretty candy cane cane. I think I need that die! Beautiful! Wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas season. hugs, de

  11. I've said it before -- crazy busy times! I wish I had something to lose track of, but I had so much on my plate I didn't even take time to photograph many of my cards. Love the decoupage look of these. And where would we be if we didn't use the old stuff once in a while? I love seeing it! These cards are so pretty. I have a beautiful card from you tucked in with my Christmas decor and it has that very same snowflake border on it. What a delight it has been each day as the mailman drops off more cards. My house is looking very festive!
