Happy Tuesday, peeps! Hope you're safe and sound if you're on the east coast....we certainly don't need the trials of a hurricane amidst all our other issues! I think stamping is a good way to take our minds off things, don't you? I found an interesting sketch at the Christmas Card Throwdown, and the Jingle Belles want us to use up our holiday "leftovers"!
I have a LOT of scraps!!! I rummaged a few scraps of Wrapped in Plaid DSP pieces from last year, along with some gold glimmer paper to start my card today; speaking of glimmer paper, this is my bag of glimmer paper scraps....I save every teeny weeny piece, because they're good for little stars, or hearts, or anything!
I used a new-to-me Altenew die to cut out four ornaments (and gold glimmer paper tops) from the plaid DSPs. I arranged them on a card a wee bit wider than 4 1/4" square and then added a banner and sentiment:
Another scrap of gold foil paper was embossed with the (retired) Tufted embossing folder and adhered to the bottom; it looked a little plain, so I added some Cherry Cobbler twine, using the "one-hole bow" method so that it won't slide off. You can see a tutorial HERE.
Another Christmas card for my stash! Thanks so much for popping in today!
Cassidy passed her written karate test with a score of 100%! Woohoo!
Enjoy your day and be blessed!

There are many days that I wish I could go to bed and it would be December when I woke up … I'm weary of all of it, aren't you? Isaias can go blow away, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this pretty wake up this morning - even if it isn't Christmas, there's always room for Christmas in my heart!
