Merry Christmas Trees Card




I just couldn't resist just one more Christmas card with the Frantic Stamper die.  I just love this die. The tree looks so realistic.
I decided on silver glossy and blue snowflake holographic papers for my trees.  The background is a simple splatter design of white and yellow - I forget which brand it was. 
The RIBBON is the next thing I want you to notice.  This is from a DIE.  It is actually a two die set and it cuts ribbon designs. I cut one set in gold glossy and the other set in red suede paper and then layered them. didn't it come out nicely!
The greeting was a dollar stamp from Michaels.

I am just starting to get ready for Christmas. I am just so busy at work (I work full time) when I come home I dont usually want to do much.  My card making is a great stress relief!

Take care, Lis

Washi and Paper Tole Christmas Card



Today's card uses some Christmas washi tape to create a background for some paper tole (the present).

I've noticed that washi tapes can be oriented with a white background or an ivory background (at least the ones I have), so I use them with either an ivory or white card base.  (I used white card for the card today.)

I decided to do plain stripes and chose a few designs and repeated them until I filled up the card base.  I was going to trim the edges but decided to fold the ends over which made a nicer finish.

I added some gold glitter glue to my present's ribbon (gotta have some sparkle!).

Thanks for stopping by!
