A Grand Merry Christmas

I have way underused this wonderful Memory Box die.

It works wonderfully with some of that hoard stash of decorative paper

that I need to whittle down.

I simply die cut from Whisper White, embossed a strip below and

added a Spellbinder's poinsettia that I've sponged color on.

Just add Sparkle

I used part of the tree stamp from White Christmas

and stamped with Marina Mist.

The snowdrifts were sponged over some torn sticky notes used as masks.

When all the ink was dry, I smacked the whole piece with VersaMark, 

sprinkled Heat and Set Powder, heat embossed and sprinkled

Dazzling Diamonds over the sticky. 

I heat embossed again to make sure it was all melted together.

It's very sparkly!

Merry Monday

Christmas Word Tree

We have an extra week for our Merry Monday Penguins.

So this isn't a Merry Monday card.

I thought I'd share a Christmas card anyway.

No penguins this time.

This is a lovely die cut that my friend Loll sent me.

I smooshed it.

You can see how to do this technique here.

Once it was good and dry, I glued it to a snippet of 

DSP that I cut with my Lil' Inker die and

added it to a gorgeous piece of DP that I had been hoarding

saving for a special occasion.

This fits for the Happy Little Stampers

 Christmas Challenge

Hope you have a wonderful Monday!

Thanks for the visit.

Enjoy!
