Stampin' Up Merry Christmas to All & Swirly Snowflakes



Hello Crafty Friends!

I love making Christmas Cards!  I am a bit behind on birthday cards but can not resist making Christmas cards so, to fulfill my need I created this quick and simple Christmas card.  I cased a layout I saw recently on Jessica Frost-Ballas' blog.   I loved the elegant simplicity of it.  I started my card by blending Night of Navy and Balmy Blue ink on a Whisper White card base using a Stamping Sponge.  I masked the card base at the fold to prevent ink from getting on the back of the card.  Once the ink was good and dry I splattered the front with some of the new Frost White Shimmer Paint.  I really love the new shimmer paint.  There are so many things you can do with it.  While I waited for the shimmer paint to dry I die cut the snowflake border from the Swirly Snowflake framelits out of Sparkle Glimmer Paper and Silver Foil.  I also the Holiday die  from the Merry Christmas to All bundle from Silver Foil. After the shimmer paint dried  I put the card base in my Stamparatus and lined up all of my die cut pieces on the card front so I could determine the placement for the Happy stamp.   I heat embossed the Happy sentiment with white embossing powder.  I glued all of my die cuts on the card base then finished it off with a tiny silver sequin over the I of the Holiday die cut.  That was it, super quick and easy.
