Hello! Sharing some icy Christmas wishes today! I know, I know… I don’t wanna think about that yet either! It’s cooled off a little here but still…humidity means the corn is growing or drying out I guess.
I loved ice skating when I was growing up. There was a park in the city that closed a street for sledding and made a pond for ice skating. My dad would take us a lot during the Winter…so fun!
I die cut the NEW Ice Skate Etched die from Spellbinders in white cardstock two times. In a woodgrain pattern paper for the sole and in silver cardstock for the blades.
I have a bunch of ¼ in. grosgrain ribbon but none in white. boo. I used the tan and tried not to sweat it! lol
I used one of the branches from the NEW Winter Evergreen Foliage die set, die cut it 4 times, added some white acrylic molding paste and Memory Box Fairy Sugar Dewdrop liquid glitter glue on the tips of the branches.
Christmas Wishes is from the New Mix and Match Holiday Greetings die set. I cut it in gold glitter cardstock and white cardstock, glued them together for a little more thickness, then glued directly to the cardbase.
I used the Kaleidoscope Snowflake set again for the three snowflakes. (I used them on the Winter Mailbox a couple posts back)
Almost done but missing that pop of red so I had to cut some ornament balls from the NEW More Holiday Decorations die set. Then I was happy and glued my 5×7 panel to an A7 size white cardbase.
Die cutting and gluing again! I need to stamp something! lol

Love this card!!
Wow! I wondered how you got the texture on the laces! Wow…you laced those up beautifully!
WOWZER CARD!!!!
Oh, those skates, the whole background and card design — wow! So beautiful and fun! The tan grosgrain looks just perfect with your white skates on kraft. They match the sentiment color. It’s all quite harmonious, Pam!
Such a beautiful card!!! It gives me hope that this heat will pass soon!!!! I was never a good ice skater-my ankles were too weak. I had all these athletic brothers….but I didn’t get that gene!!
Wow, wow, WOW, Pam! I agree with everyone, this card is amazing. You did a super job,
just beautiful!
This is such an absolutely BEAUTIFUL Christmas card Pam!! Loving the ribbon, and the ‘metal’ skates!!!!
I SO gotta get this die! Our three Colorado grands are very good ice skaters, it would be such fun to personalize some skates for them! Thanks for sharing this awesome card! Hugs…!
Great design!

I love this! I think that tan ribbon really makes the skates pop! I think white would have not had the same effect! Love the card! Thanks for sharing!
