JB19 Christmastide

DSCF6048

Happy Saturday!  I am a little late with my weekly Christmas card, but I made it!  This is a real CAS one using Baja Breeze and Whisper White with a vintage image I got at the Allentown Stamp Show.  I just love silhouettes, and I think this qualifies for the Jingle Belles challenge 19, the Spirit of Christmas Past!  Here we go:

This is notecard-sized; I dug out an embossing folder I hadn’t used in forever; used the Northern Frost diecut for my snowflake, which I tapped into a Versamark pad, added some Heat & Stick powder, heated it briefly, then sprinkled on some white MS glitter and heated again.  So pretty!

I also learned that you can color a SU glimmer brad with Copics!  Woohoo!  This brad was silver and I used BG72 to achieve a pretty good match to Baja Breeze!  My sentiment is from Cornish Heritage Farms.  I love the retro look of it!

Thanks so much for visiting today!  If you have any questions about any of the items I used on my card, just give me a shout!  And don’t forget to stop back tomorrow for the Paper Players challenge!

Beautiful Christmas card. Love the stamp. Your granddaughter is absolutely precious. I too think the puffs are perfect for little hands.

Gorgeous card LeAnne! You are so great at posting those darling Cassidy pics. What a CUTIE she is!

Martha said...

LeAnne,

Love this and it would be great to make a bunch since it is CAS! What is the maker of that stamp? Since we live in the snowy, cold part of the country, I would love to add it to my collection. Also the snowflake die cut. I do not have one and that one is so nice. Thanks for sharing your awesome talent with us.

Love and blessings, Martha
PS We always used Cheerios since we ate them too. They are great for travel too.LOL

So soft and serene--love the icy color combination and the sparkly snowflake is to die for! Lol, puffs and cherrios were a mainstay in Arden's diet for a looooong time! Looks like Cassidy digs 'em too!

Love the colours of your card - it's like a Wedgewood plate! Such a sweet image and I like the embossed backing.

Great photos of your granddaughter too!

LeAnne, your card is so very pretty! And is that Allentown, is in the state of PA? If so, then hello from a fellow PA gal! :)

Lin said...

Congrats on your win at Jingle Belles - I love your card! (And hello from a former Pennsylvanian from clear on the other side - Pittsburgh area). Is the image a SU one? I'd love to get my hands on it - brings back some lovely memories of my childhood!

So pretty - the colors, the snowflake, the embossing, oh, and the puff eater!
