12 Days of Christmas - Day 1
Well here we are with Day #1 of my 12 Days of Christmas projects and I start today as you can see with a card. I wanted to start with a simple item that could be easily recreated as in hopes of inspiring someone who would like to make their own cards this year but feel it can be a little over whelming to do so. This card is really easy to make and it doesn't necessarily need to be Christmas related for those friends you have that celebrate a different holiday. I did get the idea from a fellow blogger but as I didn't have the same Cricut cart I used my own ideas for it. I cut the flourish from Gypsy Font at 1.75". I then adhered it to the ivory layer with adhesive. I cut the snowflake from Winter Wonderland at 2.25". I placed a rhinestone with my I-Rock tool in the center of the snowflake and then pop dotted the snowflake on top of the flourish. I stamped both cards with My Pink Stamper "Biggie Christmas". I then adhered the layer into the card. Here are the details:
Hi and welcome to my blog! I'm an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and really love what I do and totally enjoy creating beautiful things. My husband and I are empty nesters. We have 2 grown boys who we are so proud of. We are originally from California where I was born and raised. We moved to Arizona 12 years ago and shortly after I was diagnosed with Degenerative Disc Disease and several other back problems which has caused me to reevaluate my life and not only deal with tremendous back and leg pain but also situational depression. I am trying to enjoy life more and adapt my lifestyle to my disability. I am finding great joy in making cards and helping others find their creative abilities through stamps, ink, and paper. Want to join?
Very pretty, the swirls are so elegant!!
