Cardabilites #65

There are only 7 days left until Christmas and so far it has

been a wonderful few weeks!  I have been making a few

cards to give away and saw that they had a new sketch up

on Cardabilites so I thought I would join in and use

a few scraps I had in my stash.

This weeks sketch is below but since 

I don't have that shape I used one of my

favorite dies from Spellbinders- Blossom Four

to cut out the LOTV image and the backround using

Doodlebug Christmas papers! To make the cards

glisten I used some Diamond stickles on them too!

 I also made the flowers on both of the

cards using the layered Poinsettia die

from Spellbinders S5-055.  It's a beautiful

die and you can do them in so many colors

to decorate things for Christmas.  A great

tip for getting out intricate dies is to use

a bit of wax paper or parchment between the

die and the paper.  They pop out so easy with it!

I made another quick card and used a few

flags to put as a backround and added a pretty bow

and another tiny poinsettia on top.  I added stickles

on her coat to make her outfit shine and a fun

diamond embellishment from Prima on the flower.

Thanks for stopping over and have a very

blessed holiday and don't forget to hug

someone special today!!
