I'm back with another Christmas card today. I actually really love making Christmas cards! This one is a very quick and easy one to make using Die'Sire Create A Card dies "Christmas Eve". These dies are wonderful if you need to make lots of cards because they can be very simple or "dolled up" a bit. I made an even simpler one which I will show in a later post.
My Card
Click image to enlarge
My card is 15.5 x 15.5 cms to accommodate the layers., and made from Anna - Marie Designs cardstock because I love the weight of it. I layered it onto aqua glitter card and then onto the card base. I put the centre die to one side and I will use it to make a smaller card later. I stamped the sentiment with aqua ink and die cut it with SB Classic Squares. This is one of my very early stamps on a wood block and it is from Rubber Stampede. I added three snowflakes to the corner. The two white ones were already in my die cut drawer so I cut the aqua one to layer it up. The large ones are Marianne Swedish snowflakes and the smaller one is a punch. All it needed then was for me to add some Hobby House pearls in the corners and away we go - job done.
Hope you are all well and enjoying your day.
