Welcome to day 15 of my Christmas Card Blitz! We are 3/4 of the way done - only 5 more cards to go! Well, I did create some more Christmas cards, but they are with different papers. So I will show you those next week some time.
Click HERE for my Day #1 post for more information on this 20 day Blitz.
I definitely have a new FAVE with this card! Yes, I'm playing favorites, lol! I saw THIS card in the gallery at Splitcoaststampers and knew I just had to make my own snowflake tree on a card. I think it's soooo cool! (I know, I'm easily amused, lol.)
On the envelope, I used a scrap where I'd punched a snowflake out, and sponged ink there so it would coordinate well with the card.

And here's the inside.
How do you like my lace backdrop? I was looking in a cabinet for something else and found this small tablecloth. I was like "OH! I can use it with my card pictures!" Much prettier than plain white poster board behind them, lol.
And don't forget - I have rubber stamps for sale and the pictures and details are in an album HERE. Check it out!
Enjoy your holiday weekend, Tootles!

I don't do many of these cards with lots of blank space but I like it! I may just make some more like this one.

Make it a wonderful day, Tootles!
Day 10 of my Christmas Card Blitz
Supplies:
Cardstock: Joann Craft Essentials blank card/envelope, Bazzill burgundy
Patterned Paper: K & Company Christmas Cheer
Stamps: TPC Studio (front sentiment and envelope), The Angel Company (inside sentiment)
Ink: Palette Bordeaux
Other: Janome Sew Mini, Fiskars border punch, Cuttlebug embossing folder, white Souffle gel pen, edge distressor
I had all kinds of trouble with this card. I first stamped the sentiment with Palette Vintage Cream ink on the front of the card but was unable to get a solid/clear image. So I cut some white cardstock, distressed the edges, re-stamped the sentiment with Palette Bordeau ink, and covered up my boo-boo! And you can see on the envelope that it didn't stamp well there either. Oh well.
The inside.
Tootles!
I stamped the background snowflakes with Versamark Dazzle. It creates a watermark effect with shimmer - gotta love that!
I also highlighted the sentiment with a Stardust glitter gel pen - more shimmer!
And for the inside, I inked up the snowflakes with Palette L'Amore Red ink, stamped once on scrap paper, then on my cardstock. So the images are lighter and can still be written on, yet it coordinates with the front of the card.
