Holiday Cheer!


Hello, it's been a while since I crafted just for fun.  I've been in a few swaps and so all my crafting time has been devoted to that, which of course is lots of fun too.  I made this card yesterday and rushed to photograph it.  I see it's a bit blurry, ooops!  I have a house full of company arriving this week, so I guess I'm not feeling very focused either, my entire house needs a good cleaning, help!



I have been wanting to play around with this awesome snowflake cover-up die by Lil'Inkers for some time.  You'll need to pay around with the right shim, I used a thick piece of paper in addition to the regular layers and that seemed to work great in my Big Shot.  This die takes patience, as there are zillions of tiny pieces to poke out.  But well worth it if you ask me!  

 

I used MFT bubblegum cardstock and SU Strawberry Slush ink to stamp that most amazing woodgrain background.  That SU woodgrain stamp is by far my fav!  I fussy cut a house from this set and copic colored it and added some glittery snow!  Lastly, I added some Pretty Pink Posh sequins, which is sort of hard to see in this picture.  In person they are lovely and add just the right amount of sparkle!

If you are in the U.S, have a lovely Thanksgiving, enjoying time with friends and family.  Thanks for stopping in today, I hope you enjoyed my project!

  1. Very pretty! I love the woodgrain background in pink. Enjoy your company and don't stress over cleaning the house - no one will notice if it isn't spotless. If they do, hand them a dustcloth ;)
