We we have made it to Humpday!!! Still in Greensboro for the next couple of days and boy oh boy is it cold--18 this morning with a high of 32--this is why I live in Texas!!!
Today I have another Kraft creation--there are a couple of different Kraft collections out there--this on is simple (red, green, Kraft) so it is easy to match them up and make a few cards at once. I have to say Jillybean Soup has a very cute holiday collection that is Kraft with color! I have it! (LOL)
This card was easy as pie! For the front I used two different Sizzix folders in my Cuttlebug--I simply love the one with all of the ornaments! By using some cordinations paper you get a nice high low effect as well.
For the sentiment I cut it with my expression at 2 1/4" inches. It cut well because it is very blocky--I used patterned craft for the shadow and solid red for the layer. I pulled out the xyron again, added sticky, and then used micro glass beads to add the bling! I love this technique--it is easy, simple, and clean.
I used the same patterned craft, a little chalk ink, and come colonial white cardstock from CTMH to finish off the inside.
If you do the outside and the inside of the card--why not the envelope as well. I am on this kick where I like to finish it all off. Nothing wrong with a plain envelope but I like the drama of it all!
I used one of the same Sizzix folders and put the whole envelope inside to do the embossing. A large tag punch, the October CTMH stamp of the month set was used for the to/from, and a little sei twisted cord finishes it off (note on the twisted cord--don't cut it, burn it so it does not untwist--I learned the hard way!)
Hope you have a great day and that you are not chilled to the bone like I am!
Make it a great one-
