From Christmas to Spring on Die Cut Divas

 Hi,

Now that the holiday rush for 2023 is over, it's time to prepare for 2024.  Today I present to you a couple of cards, starting with a Christmas card.  Yup, it's never too early to make those holiday cards!  

My teamie Arlene sent me some Whimsy Stamps die cuts to use, and of course they fit our Januaury challenge theme of: Never Before Used Stuff on Die Cut Divas Challenge Blog.  

On top of an white splattered background, with the Whimsy Stamps Slimline Window die cut, I created this grid card with a raised frame; and two of the grids has a shaker element in it.

Supplies used for Christmas card:

Whimsy Stamps Slimline Window Die

Whimsy Stamps Gnome For Christmas Clear Stamp

2022 Spellbinders Advent Calendar Day 6 (Gnome Die)

49 & Market ARToptions Holiday Wishes Pattern Paper

Next up, a mini slim Spring birthday card with matching envelope. 

Besides ink blended the white die cut, I also used some Simple Stories pattern paper on the card and envelope.  And embellished with some 49 & Market run-on and sticker from an older Simon Says Stamp card kit.
