If you have arrived from my friend, Joyce's blog you are right on track.
Today, we'll take a look at a Christmas card, as this season quickly approaches! Let's take a look!
This card design was taken from our Make It From Your Heart, vol 1 addition- and is pattern #29...however you'll notice I did change up the pattern a little bit. :)
I was excited at how "easy" this card was to create, but so happy with the results! I actually used 3 stamp sets in this creation...let's learn more about it!! :)

Here is a closer look at the front of the card...
The beautiful "Frosted Christmas" stamp set, has been a popular one this year! I love the colors of purple & blues for my Christmas cards, and used Eggplant ink to stamp the Merry Christmas.
The silver glitter paper, was added as my mat...and the card base was stamped with our "In the Background" stamp set in Glacier Blue ink! I loved how the dots looked like falling snow! :)
Take a closer look at this snowflake I cut from our Cricut cartridge. See the pearl in the middle? This pearl was white when I first started creating this card! :)
I ADORE our ShinHan alcohol markers & LOVE that they can help me color my embellishments to whatever color I need! In this case, I colored my white pearl with my Turquoise Blue ShinHan...and ta-da...it turned into a Glacier blue, that matched the border above it!

Now...take a look at the eggplant cardstock strip at the bottom of the card. Do you see the stamped snowflakes?
This border stamp set is a PERFECT stamp set for the Christmas season - BUT...that gift border has me thinking I could use that particular stamp ALL year long!! :)
Check out the "Christmas Borders" stamp...and make sure to check in with your CTMH consultant to see what other items will be leaving us soon! This stamp set (and the Frosted Christmas stamp set above) will RETIRE on Dec 31, 2017!! To see the Holiday Expression idea book & all the items that are retiring CLICK HERE.
