I'm back with you filling in whilst we look for someone to fill Keren's rather amazing shoes! You have just a couple of days left if you want to throw your hat in for the DT call btw. We've had quite a few already so it is likely that I will take September to read through the blogs and make a decision and we'll have new blood for you in October.
So for today, I thought I'd make a start on Christmas cards with the new Lawn Fawn release and I realised that the dies to match Winter Big Scripty Words can be used solo and have enough impact to be the focal point on a card. I took the fa-la-la die and cut the la-la 3 more times to complete my phrase!
I used a snowflake embossing folder (from my stash but we have some new Echo Park ones coming this week) on mermaid cardstock and trimmed to fit my card front with a small white border. I used my favourite Holly die, from Reverse Confetti to just add a little accent - et voila, quick simple Christmas card with lots of impact that is pretty easy to mass produce if you need to make a lot of cards! If you didn't want to die cut - you could use the matching stamp and selectively ink it to get the same longer message.
See you Sunday!
