As you may (or may not) have noticed, I’ve definitely been on a Christmas kick lately. I can’t seem to stop myself. Hopefully all of this will result in my having my Christmas cards done on time this year! I certainly hope so!
I decided to go with a simple card in order to highlight this small Noel tree. I love how it looks on the red Layers One Nestabilities die cut. It’s colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a red Spica glitter pen and a yellow Sakura gelly roll glitter pen. The Martha Stewart punch was a new purchase and I just love the way the branches looks in multiples.
I zig zag stitched around the card, but don’t look too closely at the unevenness of it! The ribbon is SU and the button is from a tube of mismatches that I got at a great price at Hobby Lobby in the sewing department.

JACKSONBELLE EMBELLISHMENTS – JBE028
~~~
The Jacksonbelle Embellishments challenge this week is a sketch challenge. Lynda came up with a great one, and I’ve been wanting to use this Snowy Owl from the Inkadinkado Winter Birds set in browns and vanilla, so this was my chance. I embossed the entire scalloped oval and all the snowflakes and stars with Kaleidoscope EP. And let me tell you, it wasn’t easy holding those tiny things with the tweezers while I heated them. I’m really surprised at least one of them didn’t blow completely away!
Texturally, this is a really yummy card in real life, with the dry embossing, the heat embossing, the die cuts and the velvet ribbon.
I hope you enjoyed my 2 cards for you today. Please come back tomorrow as I’ll be hostessing the Rubbernecker Blog Challenge this week!
