Today I have a couple "elf shoes" cards I've made for a good cause. The shoes were made from a top note die cut from Sizzix, and cut into 4 equal parts. You make the tops of the shoes by using a 1-1/4 circle punch about 1/2" from the outside edge. The stockings were random strips of leftover dsp (snippets) and the bows were done with a Punch-a-Bunch on silver embossed cardstock. I added some tiny stars done with a SU! mini punch, along with some silver candi dots to the toes. The sentiment is by SU!
This version was done just like above, only I used gold embossed bows, gold candi dots, and light green glittered stars. I'll be sharing these cards over at the Snippets Playground #153.
Thanks for stopping by and make it a great day.

These two cards are a hoot. Love them. Thank you for the notice about Addie and her sisters. Such a darn sad story and an unfair outcome for Addie and her family.
ReplyDeleteToday you have made me smile and cry.... Thanks for both them

Great to see the elf shoes on a card. My friend borrowed my top note die and was explaining the elf shoe thing to me but seeing it all done up is much nicer.
ReplyDeleteFabulous fun cards Carol, sure to raise a smile.

Your card is adorable Carol, but this story is so sad and so unfair with all this family has been through. It truly makes you realize just how blessed we are. I will see about getting some cards out for this family. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteNow this is the cleverest use of the Top Note die that I've seen in a long while, and what a cute & perfect snippet card for sure. I'll check out your link for little Addie, and hope I can do some 'kid type' cards. TFS & for providing the link to a very special little angel's care. TFS & hope you're set for a good wkend. We're s'posed to get rain. Was misty & dreary today. Big hugs
ReplyDeleteThese are perfect for Addie and her sissies!
ReplyDeleteVery clever design, love the cards.
