Today I have quick & easy Christmas card to share. The background was done with a Sizzix snowglobe/holly leaves embossing folder on some shimmer white cardstock. I added a punched SU! (r) ornament done with a snippet of red & white dsp. I added a pre-printed SSS sentiment to the center; then added some gold cording to make a bow and hang it from the die-cut Poppystamps Shasta twigs. The final touch was to add some snow to the branches.
with some liquid applique.
I'm sharing this with the following challenges:
The June Rudolph Days Challenge - a/g Christmas
Dies R Us Challenge #171 - a/g using dies from their store

ReplyDeleteMight be quick and easy Carol, but it has a huge impact to it! I love this card, so CAS and so beautiful! I will have to keep this in mind as I have this punch as well and some of the SU ornament dies. Don't have that embossing folder though, it is gorgeous! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteMay have been quick Carol. But the end result is gorgeous.
