Two for one today :)
OK so these are my Christmas wishes - joy and world peace - am I being too greedy!
With Christmas is just around the corner, I thought I'd show you a super quick Christmas card. I die cut my Memory Box Country Landscape, and my patterned paper is cut so the landscape just overlaps it. From the back I lined up the patterned paper and landscape cardstock, and taped them together on the left and right hand sides - so the middle section was not stuck down. This enabled me to cut out the patterned paper from behind the die cut windows and doors, so the red background shows through them. I then used my glue pen to stick down the middle section of the landscape. I stamped this gorgeous sentiment in Versamark Dazzle using The Alley Way Stamps Christmas Magic and Chatterbox, then added some red tinsel embossing powder and heat set it, before pop dotting the scene onto my card base. Perfect for this weeks splash of maroon at Play Date Cafe, and only 99 Christmas cards to go LOL!
Decided to make another Christmas card.. this one is for my DS. Inspired by this weeks CAS(E) this Sketch and the fab colours at Dynamic Duos. The oblong in the sketch reminded me of a front door with someone peeking out from behind, so I created a 3D door using rectangles of red, and die cut this gorgeous Christmas wreath from My Favorite Things, and added this fab little Santa from The Alley Way Stamps No Peeking, and sentiment created using Alphabet Soup.
Don't forget there are still a couple of days left in this fortnights TAWS BE Inspired!
These made me smile...
