I love making non-traditional Christmas cards…my friends have come to expect it. Besides the pink and red colors, I wanted something on this card besides just a stamped greeting…love the partial cutout surrounding it. Expect to see this same layout from me somewhere down the road. 🙂
Supplies:
- Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko: Memento Lady Bug, irRESISTible Texture Spray Lady Bug, irRESISTible Pico Wedding Dress, White Embossing Powder, VersaMark, Craft Mat
- Lawn Fawn: ‘Love you a Latte’ stamp set, ‘Stitched Party Banners’ die
- The Twinery: Maraschino Stripe twine
- Craftwell: eBosser
- Marvy: White Liquid Applique
- Miscellaneous: white & red card stocks, foam adhesive, heat gun, water bottle with sprayer.
