Sneak Peak of a Set of Christmas Cards Coming Up Tomorrow!


Hi guys!
Tomorrow I'm posting Christmas cards made with materials Pia sent to me and Marina. I'm taking a small head start here today with this card that focuses on the beautiful silhouette die Pia sent. I combined the silhouette die with a die cut tag I had first masked with a self-made snow bank mask, then sponged with DI:s and stamped with a background stamp using water as my ink for a wintry night sky. Absolutely love how this turned out! I used a card base where I had dry embossed some poinsettias -the folder came as a freebie with a crafting magazine. The simple stamped sentiment is just "Merry Christmas" in Finnish. 

I'd like to enter this card to a couple of challenges:



The cue word at CASology is TEAM and I think these kids show some good team spirit in their small group don't they! One helping the others to ride on their sleigh! :) 

I'd also like to join the CAS Mix Up November challenge 

Masking, Sponging, Stamping (with water), Die Cuts, Dry Embossing

Thanks for popping by and do come back tomorrow for all the rest of the cards I made with the wonderful materials Pia sent! Thanks so much Pia!

    I love your sponged "night sky", Nonni and this delightful die cut! Brings back memories of sledding at night when I was a child. Love the embossed background and how you've used the tag on your card! Thanks so much for sharing with us again at CAS Mix Up!

    I haven't used this die as much as I thought I would. I think it's adorable but need fresh ideas. Which you've provided with this inspiring use of die cut extending over the tag base. Love how the sky turned out and if it's a recent magazine I think I'll go and grab it too.
