Here is my 1st card for this blog hop:
Ingredients:
Sentiment stamp
White card stock
Blue paper
Green paper
White paper
Black ink
For this A2 card I started with White card stock for the base of the card. I took the word paper from the Carta Bella "Let it Snow" paper pad and added that to the card. I took the dark blue paper and the Kat Scrappiness Stitched Heart Tags die and cut out the tag and attached that to the card. I took the Pine Forest Globe cut in die and some green paper and cut out the trees. I took some white paper and the Die-namics Stitched Dome Frame and cut that out and added that to the card. I placed the Pine Forest cut inside the Stitched Dome Frame, colored in the background with a blue marker. I took the sentiment stamp and some black ink and stamped the sentiment inside the Dome Frame.
Here is my 2nd card for the blog hop:
Ingredients:
Stitched Tag die
Warmest Wishes die
White card stock
Blue snowflake paper
White shimmer paper
Faded Jeans distress ink
Blue & White Bakers Twine
For this A2 card I started with White card stock for the base of the card. I took a piece of Blue snowflake paper and added that to the card. I took a piece of White Shimmer paper and the Snowflake Background die and cut out the snowflakes and added that to the the card. I took the Stitched Tag die and some more of the Blue snowflake paper and cut out the tag. I took more of the White Shimmer paper and the Warmest Wishes die and cut out the sentiment and added it to the tag. I inked the edges of the tag with Faded Jeans distress ink and added it to the card. I took the Blue & White Bakers Twin and wrapped it around the card several times and then tied a bow at the top of the card.
