Lots of pictures to share so you can get a good idea how to put this card together… I love having this style easel card sitting out for all to enjoy. Some other posts where I share cards I’ve made like this… videos too… HERE, HERE and HERE.

I used acetate in the window to imitate glass. I applied glue gloss (link below) to the tree while the cut was still in the die, removed the cut and then embossed the glue areas with Judikins white diamond embossing powder.

Easy to feel the spirit of the season (even in July) when creating with Memory Box and Poppystamps dies! This release is awesome!

Merry Christmas!

I love this song…really makes me think…hard to imagine being Mary and Joseph and all they went through! Even harder to imagine or want to imagine all that Jesus went through for us! So thankful for Christ in Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all! We had a wonderful time with family yesterday…making memories! It went by too fast though and I didn’t take enough pictures! : )

Stampendous, Bundled Up!

Another cutie Kiddo from Stampendous! Love her smile! Washi tape from My Minds Eye and the row of hearts from Printworkscollection.com… She’s stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Hammermill 80# cover color copy paper (scroll down in my posts for links) and colored with Copic Sketch markers! oops! Just realized I was going to finish coloring her. I colored her while I was watching grandkids and with my granddaughter’s limited color selection of markers… I was going to blend and finish at home and completely forgot until I looked at my photo… oh well, you will give me coloring grace this time, right?! hohoho
