It is stinking HOT here in Iowa today so I decided to try to cool off by showing you a card I have all ready for Christmas 2011.
The card base is SU Cherry Cobbler cardstock. I embossed a white piece of card stock with a Sizzix Snowflake embossing folder and then trimmed it down to slightly smaller than 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. This piece was attached to the front of the card base.
The next layers are made from another strip of SU Cherry Cobbler and Merrymint AC Patterned Paper.
Using a Lifestyle Crafts/Quickutz Ornament die I cut out a piece of double sided sticky paper. I only removed one side of the paper and sprinkled the entire top with Hero Arts Prisma Glitter.
Next I used a Lifestyle Crafts Quickutz Reindeer using SU Chocolate Chip, SU Cherry Cobbler and a piece of gold shiny card stock. I added glitter to the reindeer antlers (not sure I would do that again). These pieces were assembled and then attached to the ornament. I added clear gems to the collar to add some sparkle. The finishing touch was a piece of red gross grain ribbon through the loop of the ornament.
If it is hot where you are, I hope you can look at this card and imagine a cooler temperature. Tell me if it works. Thank you for coming by!
