Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

Hi there sweeties.  Hey if you didn’t get a chance to leave your name for the grand prize winnings from the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog Hop, be sure you go to my post HERE to leave a comment and to find out what you need to do to win.

Clean and simple was the mode for me today.  I’m playing a little bit of catch up because I really don’t have any Christmas cards made.  Time’s  a wasting!!   I have this sweet little sentiment from Quietfire Design called Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow that I had to find somewhere to use.  I laugh when I think about this sentiment because now I just can’t get that song out of my mind, lol!


For my 5½" x 5½" card I used the Spellbinders Nested Hearts template that I just love.  It reminds me of an ornament so I tied a bow on the top and cut the Christmas Tree from Spellbinders Fanciful Holidays from the center.  To top it all off I used the fabulous fleur from the Spellbinders Antiquities set.  I love the green ticking paper I pulled from my Anna Griffin stack today – I edged it with vintage photo distress ink just like old stained fabric. 

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Quietfire Design – Let It Snow
Paper:  Anna Griffin, Bazzill – Kraft, Gold
Ink:  Memento – Tuxedo Black, Vintage Photo Distress Ink
Accessories:  Spellbinders Nested Hearts, Spellbinders Fanciful HolidaysSpellbinders Antiquities, Ribbon

That’s it for me today.  Stay warm friends – especially those of you in the snowy north.

    What a gorgeous creation! The green looks like velvet! With all the supplies you have to work with (at least, I’m assuming you have a lot, LOL) I don’t know how you ever make up your mind! But you never fail to put the most beautiful elements together in the most fabulous sensational way! You are so appreciated.ReplyCancel
