For nearly two weeks I have been cleaning, purging and reorganizing in my home. Let me say it needed doing but it is NOT FUN work. I am not finished either but it is a rainy day here. I couldn't resist going in my craft room and making cards. I'll resume the non-fun work tomorrow but I needed a day of crafting. (Wink.) I wanted to create a card for the new Jingle Belles swap called "Look What Santa Brought." This swap wants you to use the new crafty goodies you received at Christmas. I used my new Fiskars guillotine cutter Santa brought. My youngest daughter always makes sure my husbands gets my "crafty wants list." ;) I am loving this guillotine cutter with the self sharpening blade. No more ragged edges and constant blade replacing with this baby.
I did an alcohol ink background on glossy cardstock and then diecut the trees (Sizzix Thinlits Woodlands). I used a cloud stencil (old Stampin'Up) and Distress Oxide Ink (Broken China) to create the clouds. The stamp images and sentiments are by Lawn Fawn (Toboggan Together). I used alcohol ink markers to color the images and Stickles for the "ice" on the trees and snow. My deer friend is going to join these challenges:

what a fabulous and colorful card, that amazing background really MAKES it! thanks for showing off your fab xmas goodies with us at JINGLE BELLES! ♥
(ps: i am a guillotine girl all the way... i think you'll love your cutter for years!) ;)
(every few months you may need to gently and carefully wipe the blade with goo-gone or nail polish remover... mine never gets dull but it does get a bit sticky from cutting through adhesive-y paper all the time!)
