Hi there!
So... you all know what sort of rushing around there is during the month of December. To give you an idea of how far behind I am, I plan to BEGIN baking today and BEGIN shopping for gifts tomorrow. Feel free to laugh. Crazy, I know. Some years we don't shop until the 23rd, so this year is not so bad! I also enjoy making Christmas cards for friends, but since it was already December 9th, odds were that was not happening unless I found a CAS card that was easy to mass produce.

| Eclipse Tape, Tim Holtz Broken China Distress Ink, Amuse 'Let it Snow' Stamps, Diamond Dots?, Ink Blending Tool |

| This was the card I made a week or so ago for a very special birthday. After creating this, I decided it would work for the Christmas cards I needed, as well. |
Thank goodness for Eclipse tape and Distress Ink!
Some of you will be receiving this card - hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it!

Gorgeous card, Patti! I need to send my Christmas cards out. LOL
ReplyDeleteYou should add the card to the current Simon Says Stamp challenge (snowflakes). It's a perfect fit.
Hugs and smiles
Gorgeous! Love the sponged rectangle with the snowflakes! I may be CASEing this one for my Happy New Year's cards (aka Christmas cards for the people I didn't get to in the first round of mailing!). TFS!
ReplyDeleteI need to finish up my cards too, I even bought 3 boxes, just not enough handmade ones or time to make more. Your cards are treasures, have fun shopping!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful cards, Patti. Always love snowflakes on Christmas cards, especially ones as beautiful as these.
ReplyDeleteDon't feel too bad about being behind...I'm not done with my shopping and I have things that need to be mailed out this week. EEK. Whenever someone says they are all done with their shopping, I want to kick them in the shins...LOL - Not really, but I'd love to be all done with everything so I could just sit back and watch Christmas specials on TV.
Hugs and Happy Holidays!
It doesn't get better than this. Gorgeous, crisp design. Love the shaded background for the snowflakes.
ReplyDeleteLove your CAS card. Good luck with the baking and shopping Patti....xx

Welcome to the team Patti! and starting shopping on the 23rd, now that is crazy! Ijust started baking today too! love your snowflake creation!
ReplyDeleteOoooh beautiful card Patti - I need to get a move on with mine and get them in the mail!!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are beautiful Patti! I love the blue block background behind the sparkly snowflakes. I am right behind you with the shopping and baking. I don't bake a lot anymore since most of our family are diabetics or allergies and no one eats the treats. It seems a shame to have to toss them out after the holidays. Now we usually have cheese and fruit trays.
ReplyDeleteShopping is scary! Nice people can turn into crazy freaks when they are shopping in December. I prefer the smaller towns and shops.
Thanks for sharing your pretty design! :)
love this CAS card Patti!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
