Happy wet, soggy, rainy, icy Thursday, peeps! I know some areas of the US are being bombarded by snow, so I am not complaining! Our church small group is having our Christmas party tonight at our home, so I am glad the temps are just a wee bit above freezing!
I am still making Christmas cards! The sketch from Hand Stamped Sentiments sort of fit the bill for the card I wanted to make for my friend from church; I subsituted a rectangle for a circle, so I hope that's okay! First, here's the sketch:
And here's the card:
My Stamplorations stamp was inked up in Night of Navy, and I used Night of Navy DSP for the background, adding a strip of Silver glimmer paper as well as some glimmer paper stars, just to jazz it up a little. Some thin blue baker's twine went across the bottom of the image:
Sentiments from Simon Says Stamp's Christmas Blessings went on the inside, along with another star:
I am also squeaking this in to the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown, where they're looking for blue and white!
My great-nephews have a tradition of making cookies with their grandmother; I just love the looks on their faces:
I make spritz too, but I never though to extrude them in long strips, then cut them apart! Ingenious! I'll have to try that next year! Here they are with mom too:
Some yummy treats for sure! Thanks for popping in today--enjoy it and be blessed!
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and laying in a manger." Luke 2:8-12

Glad I’m not the only one still making Christmas cards! Seems I always need just a couple more! This is lovely!
ReplyDeleteBlue isn't a favorite color, but navy is the exception to that, LeAnne! This is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteNow those cookies are made for dunking in hot chocolate, don't you think?

Spritz cookies are my favorite!! I love your card and using a rectangle is just perfect! I think the blue is a great choice for Christmas cards, reminds me of the nativity scene! Thanks for joining the hand stamped sentiments challenge this week!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! You used colours very nicely! Thanks for playing at 52 CCT challange.
ReplyDeleteWow, LeAnne, this is glorious! Love the Night of Navy feature, perfect for this amazing sentiment stack! I'm so thrilled with our DSP stacks this year, lol. Thanks so much for playing at Hand Stamped Sentiments!
