Today, as the Guest Elf for January - I have a reminder post for the Christmas Kickstart January Challenge - Baubles.
I used another die from Festive Ornaments from Sizzix for my baubles card - Santa's belted belly! (See my 1st post for the challenge using the plum pudding dies in the set here)
I added a silver cord to hang it and layered it over a beautiful piece of pine branch DP. Santa's belt is black glitter card but the sparkle doesn't show in the photo. I popped up the bauble with foam dots and taped the top of the silver cord on the back of the DP. Inside I stamped "Here Comes Santa Claus"!
So lets start building our new stash of Christmas cards so we're not in a rush come December!
You have until Jan 31 to link up your 'Bauble' cards over at Christmas Kickstart!
