There's nothing better on cold winter days than being all snug and warm in your craft room surrounded by all your toys (I mean craft supplies....wink). The way I am working on Christmas cards early for the 2023 holidays, I'm going to be in good shape when it is time to mail cards! There are a couple of challenges currently calling for "snippets" and I wanted to join them. So I looked around to see what I could find from previous projects laying around. Found two grey patterned polka dots papers, a piece of trimmed white cardstock plus two pine bough die cuts in a pretty forest green (see photo above). I thought it would be fun to challenge myself to use those grey papers for a Christmas card (don't ordinarily think of using grey). Jingle Belles is calling for cards with bells so I found a pretty bell stamp image and went from there. To carry the polka dot theme a little more, I used a "large dot" embossing folder for the gray cardstock. Added a stamped sentiment plus a Christmas twine bow and BAM...another card done for Christmas 2023! Thanks for stopping by....hope you are staying warm on this cold January day!
Thanks for entering more homework to the Snippets Playground. Unfortunately, we only allow one entry per challenge, so I have removed this one.
ReplyDeleteLovely embossed and die-cut Christmas card though. x
Great job Beverly using up those crafty bits you had lying around. Love your card for the Christmas Craft Creations challenge.

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I already loved this beautiful card but knowing it was a "clean up" challenge makes it even more impressive! WOW! So happy you've helped us celebrate "Those Christmas Bells" at Jingle Belles!
