It's that time again, the first of the month and the first of the new year, so the samples for the Dirty Dozen Christmas card prompt go live tonight and this is what I did for mine.
I originally had the idea I would find a stamp ( of which I probably have more than one that could work) of a line of hanging baubles that I could do a CAS card with on the front. And then I started digging in my printed papers and found this really old one from Basic Grey and thought, stop hoarding this and use it. So, I found this Reverse Confetti die and cut two of them from some cheap strathmore watercolor paper and stacked them for some depth.
And you know I collect tag dies, this one came to me from Color Me Nordic by Gummiapan just called Merry Christmas tag. It cuts the words into the tag and I thought after the fact while the glue was drying that maybe I should add some ink to this to make it more legible but, it is more obvious in real life. The tag is up on foam pop dots here.
I hardly ever make side opening cards and so it surprised me that I did. The base here is some shimmery Stardream opal card and then there is Stickles glitter glue in a see-thru shimmer in the centers of a few of these baubles and also used to hold on a trio of crystal colored sequins as well. That's about it from me, if you'd like to play along with us you can find
this prompt here in the special forums set aside for Fan Club Members. Thanks for stopping by & Happy New Year!
