Oh the Magic of Christmas 🎄

I always look forward to the Christmas Kit release from Taylored Expressions in July and this year and month are no exception! The O Christmas Tree card making kit ingredients are truly magical and I can't wait to see what y'all create with it!

When I received my products to create with I immediately knew I needed to do a frosty tree with a dark blue background and I have to admit, I love how it turned out. If only the photography could show you just how sparkly and pretty this card truly is.

There's so much dimension to this one, starting with the Tiny Twinkles embossing folder background to the raised tree (it's raised almost a 1/4 inch off the card base), then there's the addition of some clay snowflakes. Then let's not forget all the sparkle! I've got Glitter Grab, Glitter, Happy Medium - Fresh Snow as well as a layer of Happy Medium - Iridescent Glitter. I mean, if it sparkles and it's in my craft studio, it went onto this card!

One of my girlfriends was visiting and when she saw this card, she asked me to make a dozen of them for her. As much as I love this woman (she's the Sister I didn't get to have) I don't know that I'll be able to do that. This card was slightly time-consuming with all the layers and wait times to dry, but for that special friend or family, making and gifting one or two of these is totally doable!

For my next project I wanted to use one of The Insiders for the front panel of my card. I love The Insiders so much that I often use them for the card fronts. They deserve to have the limelight!

Using the stencils alone without the stamp worked out perfectly! It's soft and adds just the right touch of elegance to this card.

I foiled the panel as well as used foil card stock to highlight the arched Insider then layered taht on top of an embossed card base. This one turned out beautifully as well.
