Wowee – how rare is this –
a whole 2 (!!!) posts in less than a week??
But I just couldn’t resist making up this Christmas card for the MerryMonday Christmas challenge this week.
With a great challenge of making a card to reflect the wonderful Silent
Night hymn, it was really a doddle.
I adore easel cards when I can get the time to make
them & in particular if I can make them without flowers so they’ll be
easier & cheaper for recipients to post.
And for that purpose, I find pyramid designs are great as they add a bit
more height without being excessive (you can determine the height better).
So this card uses stash background paper on front
& base with a contrast panel of Craft Creations silver wording paper. Then I diecut a couple of silver border strips
from the Spellbinders Ironworks die set.
I pyramaged up the Christmas image and matted it on
some silver mirri card. The “stop” bar
with the Silent Night text is computer printed and then run through a Xyron
before coating in plenty of holographic glitter. I’d often cut similar strips off old
Christmas cards before thinking I could probably make my own, & since
discovering how easy it is, I’ve run wild!!
The inside as usual is decorated to complement the outside and a tag provided for the message. :)

This is a card I know will please its recipient
immensely & I hope you like it too.
Blessings. :)
So this card is being entered into:
