Happy Saturday, everyone! I have another Christmas card for you...are you getting sick of them yet? There are so many fun new things in the upcoming holiday mini, I just can't help myself! The Jingle Belles want traditional red and green for their challenge this week, and the TGIF challenge wants banners!
I just received the Merry Snowflakes bundle and I thought it would be fun to combine some banners and snowflakes! So here we go:
I started by diecutting some banners from some Classic Christmas DSP (retired) using a die from Tasteful Labels. Before adhering them to my Basic White card, I embossed the bottom portion with the longer snowflake die:
Then I cut another piece of Basic White using the curved die from Basic Borders, and embossed that piece with the snowflake embossing folder from the Wintery set, and layered it on top of my banners:
I diecut two snowflakes (they're gorgeous!) and shimmered them up with some Wink of Stella, then layered them together with a white brad I colored with a Blend. I stamped a portion of one of the sentiments from Christmas to Remember and diecut it with the smallest Stitched So Sweetly dies:
I love how this all came together! Thanks for popping in today! Be sure to come back tomorrow for a Paper Players challenge....and a non-Christmas card for sure!
Here are a few more birthday cards:
From sweet Sandy:
and sweet Debbie; the DSP is embossed on this one, such a cool technique!
Kathy always makes clever cards, this one uses Give it A Whirl dies:
And this beauty is from Bonnie!
Thanks, ladies!
This picture just cracks me up! Elvis has left the building!

I didn't want this bundle but now that you've created with it and my upline did a video tutorial yesterday, I think it's a sign that it needs to be on my next order...lol. Cassidy knows how to have fun. I remember when he wore that outfit at a concert. He died way too young.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, LeAnn!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday LeAnne! Gracious, it only seems like yesterday I was typing that - are you sure you're not sneaking an extra one in for cake!!
ReplyDeleteLove your Christmas inspiration. I have the Wintery EFs on my wishlist, which will increase my EF stash to 3! The snowflake one looks amazing on your card.
The photo made me laugh too - go Cassidy/Elvis! Vicky x
Those sweet banners are great on your holiday card!
ReplyDeleteI so didn't need that snowflake EF or those dies ... but now I can see them up close I am rapidly changing my mind on both counts! Love them paired with your festive banners. Looking forward to seeing you create more with these! Cute Cassidy photo too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use those bits of Christmas paper! Love, love, love this!
ReplyDeleteLove your pretty little banner, this is frosty and fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love the banners and snowflakes! Thanks for joining us at TGIF Challenges!
