I'm beginning to get my head round the fact that Christmas is not that far away and I need to start making a few cards. I had this idea for a quick card to get me going......
I cut 2 dark green octagons from the largest scallop die and a smaller white plain octagon. On one of the green scallops, I ramdomly stamped a few swirls and snowflakes in silver, covered with clear embossing powder the heated.
On the other piece of dark green ( the back ) I did this....
made a line and folded. Now the two pieces can be joined with a strong glue.
Next I embossed the white shape with the winter scene folder, and embossed the edge with an embossing pen instead of putting through the Bug again. With a touch of distress ink in bundle sage round the edge and a sentiment stamped in the same shade, all that was needed was a bit of glitter, a ribbon, a star, and a few foam pads.
The card stands up well and is certainly a quick make.
Thanks for dropping by,

I really like this Eileen. I have the plain Octagons but don;t seem to use them often. Maybe I need the scalloped edge ones to back them.
What a great idea for a card. Perfect.
Beautiful card. Love the idea
