It’s Beginning to Look A Lot . . .

by on August 11, 2010

. . . like Christmas.  Yep that’s right.  You have to start somewhere right?

 
Today I’m sharing a cute little Christmas card to get me in the (cardmaking) spirit and thinking about how I’m going to tackle the task of accumulating enough cards for this season.  I didn’t get to send Christmas cards last year because we weren’t home with that unexpected trip – you can just bet this is a little task I will be absolutely savoring this year!!  My card uses one of the new Christmas sets from JustRite Stampers called Whimsical Christmas.  I thought the bird was adorable so I have it perched on Spellbinders Lacey Squares and Spellbinders Lacey Circles, turned on point.  My sentiment, placed on Spellbinders Tags Five comes from the Christmas Nested Sentiments and Verse.  Underneath it all I have a pair of Spellbinders Jumbo Scalloped Petite borders.

These images color up in a jiffy , so in no time flat I have the first card for my batch :-)  JustRite Stampers is releasing a batch of  new Christmas Sets in August including two Christmas Sentiment sets that have all the variety  you’ll need to finish off the insides of your cards or simply hang a tag like I did on my card today.  You can see all the new Christmas sets HERE.

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  JustRite Stampers JB-09795 Whimsical Christmas, JB-09255 Christmas Nested Sentiments and Verse
Paper:  K&Company, The Paper Company – Classic Red, Bazzill Simply Smooth Ivory
Ink:  Adirondack Pitch Black, Colorbox Pigment – Cranberry
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Lacey Circles, Spellbinders™ Lacey Squares, Spellbinders Tags Five, Spellbinders Jumbo Scalloped Petite, Zva Creative Pearls, Ribbon

Hi Becca~

This is such a fun Christmas Card! I love how you colored the image. (Thanks for the close up shot!) The thing that really drew my attention was how you layered underneath the image. It is really beautiful!

Thanks so much for sharing!

Adorable and so many small details. I got to see some of your actual cards in person in the ODBD booth in Novi,MI at the Heirloom Show over the weekend. All I could say was WOW!

Cute cute card!!! I just love Christmas but somehow I always drag my feet untill it gets a little closer and I am actually in the Christmas spirit. Then I am rushing around like a chicken on fire trying to get it all done. Maybe this year I can get a jump on it????!!!!?????

What fun! I love the little bird and the lacey circle and squares. I think the tiny pearls all around the square is the perfect touch to give the card some depth.

Thanks!

Very cute card – love the layering with the pearls. I have been noticing that you make square cards a lot. Why? and how big are they? and do you also make envelopes for them?

Hello Becca, I just recently found your site & I am so glad I did. Everything you make is just beautiful & you sure do have a lot of talent. How do you come up with your ideas for your cards? I have only been making cards for less than 2 years. I have a terrible time coming up with an idea for the card. Once I get the idea, then it takes me forever on what to decide about the materials that go together. Why is it so hard for me Becca, I really do enjoy making cards.

Thanks for helping out.
