I love making Christmas cards, all kinds of Christmas cards. Fancy ones, plain ones, CAS ones, non traditional colour ones, full of stuff ones....LOL well you get the picture, I am Christmas crazy and card crazy so they go hand in hand!! LOL I play along with all the wonderful members over at The Outlawz where they have a different challenge starting everyday and running for a week each. It's a fantastic way to build a hefty stock of all occassion cards. Being that it's December, my focus for the last while has mainly been Christmas cards, unless the challenge asked for a specific holiday or occassion.
This weeks Sunday CAS challenge asked for glitter....a CAS card with glitter. EASY PEASY pudding and pie.....love it, and of course I was up for the challenge. LOL I took a shiny blue card I got at the dollar store and cut it in half. I made a slightly larger white card base and ran it through the xyron. I took my provo craft snow flake (the one that comes with the embossing folder) and a sizzix sentiment die, lined them up and ran them through the cuttlebug. Unfortunately the sentiment didn't cut through properly and I had to cut it off. So I took the other half of the card I cut and cut it again, running it through 4X to make sure it cut through this time, LOL! I cut it down to fit on the bottom half of my white card base that was all sticky. I stuck the two pieces to the white card base, added a rhinestone to the centre of the snowflake, then covered the entire card in white glitter.
Now I had the positive snowflake and sentiment sitting on my table. I remembered I had a small card base left over from another day, so I ran it through the Xyron, added the snowflake and sentiment, added a rhinestone to the centre of the flake and covered the entire card in white glitter. Quick, easy and CAS approved!!! LOL
