LOC Tidings of Joy

The Christmas cards are being created quickly now - I have many to get made so they can arrive on time


Layers of Color  has taken the stress out of creating Christmas cards with this gorgeous Christmas Blessings clear art stamp set 


This is only one of the images - I have cut it with the Spellbinders Labels Eighteen, these coordinating stamps and Dies and great, don't you think!  I have used my favourite cutting tool - the Spellbinders Grand Calibur!


The Layered Poinsettia Die, designed for Spellbinders by Nina Brackett is gorgeous in any colour, I have sponged  this one for a vintage feel.  Some lace and  green half pearls are the finishing touches.

    Fabulous card, Linda, and I love that base paper you have used there. The green pearls on the lace and about the image really pop.

    Gorgeous card, Linda! I really like the image you used, and the fun combination of elements. Wish I could say my cards were being made quickly, but I am just too slow of a crafter -- LOL! Thanks for sharing this with us at Tuesday Throwdown! :-)
