We Wish You A Merry Christmas ~ Decorated Houses

Hello bloggers I hope you are all well and had a good weekend.

Today's card is a lovely Christmas scene of houses decorated for Christmas.

This card began as a white 5x7 card blank.  To the front I adhered some white glitter card.  Next I die cut a mat for the topper using red card stock and Spellbinders 'labels G' die set.  The topper was cut from an old Christmas card using the same die set but the next size down in the set. The topper and mat were adhered to the card stock.  Finally the sentiment was stamped onto red card stock using black soot distress ink and Stamping With Dimension 'xmas tress' stamp set.  This was then die cut using Spellbinders 'ribbon banners lg' die set and adhered to the bottom of the card.

Snow Doubt its Christmas

Hello bloggers a Christmas card for you today!

This card began as a 8x8 white card blank to the front I added two different snowflake patterned papers.  At the join I added some pink ric rac ribbon.  Next I stamped my topper using tumbled glass distress ink and Stamping with Dimension 'snowman' stamp set.  I then coloured part of the stamped image with ProMarkers.  This was then die cut using Spellbinders 'labels 17' die set.  I then inked the edges with tumbled glass distress ink.  Next I die cut a mat from silver mirror board using Spellbinders 'grand scallop ovals' die set.  I adhered the mat and topper to the card and added some chipboard snowflake elements to decorate the silver mat.  Using some purple Christmas paper I die cut two stars using Spellbinders 'potpourri' die set.  Whilst still in the die I inked through with dusty concord distress ink.  The stars were then layered up on the corner of the topper.  Next I stamped the sentiment using the same stamp set and dusty concord distress ink.  It was then die cut using Spellbinders ' back to basic tags' die set.  The tag was adhered to the card and I added two chipboard snowmen over the tag holes.  Finally I computer generated December 25th and printed it out. It was cut using a circle punch and inked the edges with a ProMarker.
