Today I share my first Christmas card of 2018. Last year my resolution was to make ahead my holiday cards and it proved to be extremely helpful during the busy holiday season, so I'd be doing the same this year.
I am playing along a few challenges with this card. Originally I wanted the string of snow flakes to be the connection of the front panels, but I miscalculated the width of the gap and the snowflake barely connects them, so I added a piece of vellum in the back for support. Also I glue two times the die cuts to make it thicker.
Challenges:
Merry Monday Christmas Challenge #271 - Embossing
Poppystamps Challenge #40 - Snow Day
Simon Wednesday Challenge - Something New (my new item is the embossing folder)
Word Art Wednesday Challenge #316 - 317 - Anything Goes
Supplies:
Poppy Stamp Cutting Dies - Frozen Flakes
Cuttlebug embossing folder - Swiss Dots
Hero Arts Stamp and Cut - Woodland Set by Lia
Hero Arts Clear Stamp - Frosty Wishes
VersaMark Watermark Ink Pad
Silver embossing powder
Ranger Stickles - Star Dust
