Believe in Santa!

  

The inspiration for this card comes from when I was a kid and waiting to see Santa in the store. Even as an adult, whenever I go to the shopping mall before Christmas, there it is - Santa's chair! 

When I got the Frantic Stamper Dies -chair, I couldn't believe just how beautiful it was. I think I cut out 20 different chairs out of different colors and materials that first night LOL!

 

I used Bo Bunny's new Candy Cane Lane Collection.  It's SO pretty! I used Frosty.  It has a pretty mint green plaid on one side that was perfect for my tree and chair.   I added a strip of crocheted lace to anchor my die cuts.

 

I used the Triangle tree die and cut out more Bo Bunny to back it and some gold glossy for the tree base.  I had these cabochons and little white crystals to decorate my tree.

 

 

My chair was cut from gold glossy.  I cut out the sea from red suede paper and added it to my chair. Looks great!

 

I hope you enjoyed my little Christmas card!  Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Holidays Snowflake card

WOW!  Is it the middle of November already? Where did the year go?  I barely got out a few Halloween cards before I started on my Christmas cards.  This year has been so fast!

Today's card has a snowflake theme.

 Materials:

• Dark Blue suede paper
• Gold Line Dazzles (Hot off the Press)
• Snowflake die by Frantic Stamper
• Happy Holidays Die by Frantic stamper
• Blue holographic snowflake card by Hot off the Press

The snowflake die by Frantic Stamper is an interesting one.  Its inverted which means that it will cut out the design within the card front.  It won't cut out a separate die cut. 

I made an A2 size card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches) and placed my die on the inside with the cut blades facing p.  This cut the design into my card front.

I backed my card front with dark blue suede paper. This would have also looked good with red glitter paper.  I used the die again on some blue holographic paper and cut out one of the snowflakes and layered it onto my card.  I added a light blue jewel to the center.  I also cut out a Happy Holidays from silver foil card and used mounting tape to add it to the lower right.

All the little gold accents you see on my snowflakes came from the extra bits and pieces from my stickers.  You know - that extra stuff that is left after you use the sticker?

Here is a side view of my card.

Thanks for stopping by.
