The 4th challenge for the 12 Tags of Christmas over at The Ellen Hutson blog is Let It Snow.

You'll find the challenge here.

I die cut the tag out of white card stock and layered a square of blue glitter card over it.  I die cut the snowflake out of Deco Silver Glitter card and layered it off the side of the tag with foam strips.  I stamped the die cut snow and sentiment layering them over the blue with foam dots.  I looped a silver thread through the top.  I brushed Clear Glitter Wink of Stella over the snowflakes on the SNOW sentiment that really sparkle in the light!

The beautiful ornament stamp and sentiment are from Ornate Ornaments by Waltzingmouse - long retired but still so beautiful!  The die is Heirloom Ornaments from Nestabilities.  I highlighted the sentiment and the scrollwork on the ornament with Clear Glitter Wink of Stella so it sparkles in the sunlight - not so much in the photo!

November Card Chain Challenge Reveal

 Today is the November reveal of cards exchanged over at The Card Chain Challenge Blog.  This month I sent my card to Arlene in CA and I will receive a card from Dee in Kenya!

Each month there are suggestions for sketch, colors, theme and product or technique.  You can use all or you can use just one.   

For my card I used the sketch, the colors and the snowflake theme.

And here's my card!

I cut two pieces of metallic card in blue and gold for the background.  I die cut an oval out of holographic silver metallic paper and layered my die cut snowflake from Poppy Stamps (the die came free with an order!)  over the oval with foam dots.  I added the sentiment which is a Small Talk Sticker over the center of the snowflake.

One More for Christmas!

 Sharing a Christmas card today using one of Sizzix' beautiful 3D Impresslits Embossing Folders called Ornament.

I embossed/die cut the ornament out of metallic paper, then applied Versamark ink to the top area and embossed with Golden Rod Molten Embossing Powder.  I die cut the card base and adhered a piece of DP, then layered the ornament over the DP with a thick foam dot in the middle.  I looped a gold thread through the top of the ornament and added the Clipping Sticker sentiment, Yuletide.

One more card just in time for Christmas mailing!
